Chapter 23

Carter's Pov

I hated the fact that I lied to Allessandra's face. She deserved so much more than a lying sack of shit like me. I couldn't help but lie to her though.

I wanted her and I couldn't live with the thought of knowing I allowed another man to claim her as their own.

I was aware that nothing good could come from what I was doing to her and I was only digging my own grave but I couldn't help but hope that there was some way I could clean up the mess that I just caused.

I was hoping that her reaction to what I said would have been different. She seemed unfazed. I wanted to tell her more about who I was but I couldn't bring myself to tell her the truth. I knew I had to tell her soon before she found out. I knew whatever stayed in darkness must come to light.

I wanted tonight to turn out better. I wanted to make her happy but all I do is fuck things up. I was playing with fire once again and I knew I could get burnt badly if I wasn't careful, especially when it came down to Ava
