Chapter 8 - The beginning of the end

Aimee POV

“Aimee, who did this?” Alec asks, and his tone sends a chill down my spine. As if he is worried about me, Why would he be? He dumped me years ago without even questioning what was going on. He just believed someone else instead of believing his own girlfriend. I start recording, and I look at my papers, asking the first question. Alec’s eyes go dark, and I can see the anger plastered all over his face. Alec pulls the documents away from me, forcing me to look into his eyes. I have never seen him so angry.

“Aimee, tell me what happened,” Alec asks, and his voice makes me shiver. I take a deep breath resting back on my chair, releasing the pressure on my ribs, and I look at him, offering him a small smile. Then I start explaining what my mum did. And that’s when all the air is taken out of lugs when he asks me how much I need. I shake my head, looking at him. I can’t accept his money. I am not that kind of girl
