My eyes began to sting, but no tear dropped. Leon found a place for me to sit and catch my breath.After a while, I got better.“I know this comes as a shock to you–”“Why are you telling me this?” I raised my head to look at Leon. Leon would never help me.Leon would never care that I was being manipulated by a liar.Why was he doing this?“I just felt you should know. For all I know, these people are probably plotting something against us. We are the victims here!” I rose to my feet.“I'm leaving. I can't take any more of this.”Leon leaped onto me. He looked at me with soft eyes and a gentle smile.“Be safe. Bradley might not be what you think he is.”I pulled away instantly.“What is that supposed to mean?”He rolled his eyes.“Come on, Diana.

What was the Mayor doing here?!Everyone asked the same question in their mind, but unlike them, I remained calm.The Mayor was a tall man, impeccably dressed in a black tailored suit.

I wanted to show them both that I wasn't scared that I was caught.In fact, I was glad.Blood drained from Bradley's face instantly.

There was a smug look on her face.“Is this why you told me to come?” I asked, my voice cutting through the tension in the room. “To listen to you both shamelessly plot to steal what's mine?” Immediately, her face changed. She wore a shocked expression, not expecting me to reveal that part. But I was done doing that. I was done covering everyone's secrets.Bradley jerked his face to
