Chapter 7

Penulis: Quinn Loves Cilantro
"You people make me sick."

The second Sarah said it, every fake smile in the room froze.

Lucas's heart stopped for a beat. He looked up, trembling, and saw Sarah staring at him, her face dark as thunder.

She repeated herself, her voice low and cold. "I know everything. You did all of it."

Lucas's jaw twitched. His eyes were full of desperate pleading.

"No, Sarah. That's not—that's not how it happened. I just—I wasn't thinking straight. I was so scared you were going to leave me, so I just—"

    "Jason, Lucas knows he was wrong. He's been crying at home until he can barely see. He keeps saying he wants to apologize to you. You're his big brother. You're not going to hold a grudge against him, right?"My mother spoke with such feeling, such gentle persuasion, her face the picture of maternal love.My stomach turned.I let my gaze rest on her face for a moment. She flushed red almost immediately."What are you looking at me like that for?" she asked, her voice uneasy."Doesn't it get exhausting? All the acting?"The second the words left my mouth, her face—and my father's—seemed to crack."What are you talking about? Don't be ridiculous."I smiled, but there was no warmth in it. "That's not really why you're here, is it?"My parents' expressions flickered for just a second. Then, once the awkwardness passed, hope crept back into their faces.But before they could open their mouths, I kept going. "Whatever it is, I'm not helping you."My mother shrieked. "You'd stand b

Just 'wasn't thinking'?"Sarah's face twisted with rage. She grabbed him by the shoulders."You leaked those photos yourself, and that was 'wasn't thinking'? You dragged in that woman who hurt your brother to frame him, and that was 'wasn't thinking'? If that's what 'wasn't thinking' looks like, then you're a nightmare."She shoved him to the floor.Lucas's parents shouted and scrambled to stand in front of him."How dare you put your hands on him!"Sarah let out a sharp, bit

  • Forgive, Never Forget   Chapter 6

    After finally admitting the truth I'd been hiding for so long, I actually felt relieved.So I stopped acknowledging Sarah, lay down on the cot next to her bed, and tried to sleep.But the next second, I felt arms wrap around me. Sarah was trembling. She grabbed my hand, and there was something cold and hard in her eyes."Jason," she said quietly, "I didn't know you went through that. Let me handle it."After she said that, we both fell asleep.Three days later, Sarah was discharged from the hospital. The first thing she did was find Yvonne.Yvonne tried to act tough, sticking out her chin and yelling, "You lay a hand on me, and I'm calling the cops!"But before she could finish, Sarah's bodyguard kicked her to the ground.He pinned her down hard.Yvonne howled in pain, screaming and crying, snot and tears running down her face. When she realized Sarah wasn't messing around, she immediately started begging."I don't have anything to do with your husband anymore! I was just jok

    I couldn't take it anymore. I didn't care that Sarah was pregnant. I slapped her to the ground.I stood there coldly watching her clutch her stomach and scream in pain.Sarah's face went white. She looked down at her belly in panic, and the second she saw the few drops of blood, she froze completely.I pushed everyone aside, scooped her up, and ran toward the emergency room."Doctor! Someone help!"Nurses and doctors swarmed around us and rushed her into the ER.I didn't snap out of it until I heard Lucas's voice.I looked down at the dried blood on my hands. Cold sweat ran down my back.Lucas's voice dripped with venomous mockery. "What a monster. Hitting a pregnant woman. Now you're going to lose your own kid. Ha ha ha ha ha."Then his eyes darted around, and he sneered, "Actually, who even knows if that kid is yours?"The second the words left his mouth, I punched him in the face.Lucas hit the floor hard. He couldn't fight back. All he could do was scream like a coward.

    My mother chimed in right on cue. "That's right, Lucas. Don't be scared. We're here. Just tell us."Lucas shot me a quick look, then took a deep breath like he was summoning courage."Sarah, you've been played. Jason had a girlfriend before the wedding, and he never broke up with her. He's been sneaking around with her the whole time."My brain went white. I couldn't stop myself from shouting. "That's complete bullshit!""Let him talk!"Sarah grabbed my arm and turned her icy stare on Lucas. "How do you know that? What else?"Lucas looked at me with barely concealed smugness. A flash of cruelty flickered behind his eyes. But when he spoke, his voice dripped with fake concern."Jason, come on. I can't keep lying to Sarah for you anymore."He clapped his hands. The door opened. Someone walked in.The second I saw Yvonne Turner, my blood ran cold.She was the woman my foster parents tried to sell me to. Fifteen years older than me. A spinster who couldn't get married. Those an

    While we were arguing, Lucas was brought back from the edge.The second he saw me, he screamed and curled in on himself, backing away like I was some kind of monster. "Don't come near me! You already leaked my photos, what more do you want?! Get out! Just get out!"My parents immediately stepped between us, their eyes throwing daggers of suspicion my way.My throat tasted like blood. I forced the words out. "I didn't spread those photos. If you don't believe me, call the cops right now."I pulled out my phone.Sarah snatched it out of my hands and smashed it on the floor before I could even blink. "Haven't you caused enough of a scene?!"The sound of my phone shattering echoed down the hospital hallway.Someone recognized me. They held up their phone and started recording."That's the guy from Belland City—the famous jealous husband who's always catching his wife cheating.""Honestly, I kind of feel bad for him. His parents don't give a damn about him. I heard his bride ditche
