CHAPTER 42

  Zeke's POV

  "Come on now Zeke. You know I love stories." He smiled sheepishly.

  "No Jonathan. You don't love stories, you love to hear tales of other people's lives." I responded, holding back from saying the actual word.

  Gossip.

  "Hehehehe." He giggled. "Literally that's the same thing."

  I rolled my eyes. "Now what were you saying about Kamille and Ellen's family?" I asked.

  Jonathan's eyes widened in disbelief. "You haven't seen it?" He exclaimed incredulously. "It's on the tabloids, it's every-fucking-where! Very disgusting and inhumane treatment Kamille faced. Hurry now and check your phone while I go get your coffee ready."

  As Jonathan stepped out of the room to fetch my coffee, I took a moment to collect myself, my mind still reeling from our conversation. But as I reached for my phone, a sense of dread washed over me as I saw the numerous missed calls and messages from Rogers, my assistant.
