The Lie Between Us

Grayson No, police…” Sophie cries, shaking her head. “Please, Grayson. Not yet. I don’t want Jake to find out like this. Please.”She needs me to be calm right now, not another man losing control. I crouch beside the bed, keeping a careful distance so I don’t frighten her further.“Hey, Sunshine. Look at me.”Her tear-filled eyes slowly lift toward mine. “It’s over,” I tell her quietly. “He isn’t going to touch you again.”She grips the blanket tighter around herself, her breathing uneven as she tries to steady it.I glance toward Thomas, who is still standing near the wall, and the anger I’ve been trying to bury immediately rises again.But there is no way in hell I’m letting this monster stay anywhere near her anymore.Clenching my fist, I grab Thomas by the collar and drag him out of Sophie’s room. He stumbles after me, trying to pull himself free, but I don’t let go until we’re out in the hallway.I shove him against the wall, keeping my voice low so Sophie doesn’t have to hear a

A Dangerous Temptation

GraysonAfter the confrontation, Sophie retreats to her room while I step outside the house, needing a few moments alone to clear my head and breathe in some fresh air.I rake a hand through my hair, struggling to understand why Sophie lied. Why doesn’t she want the truth to come out yet? Why is she still protecting Thomas after everything he has done?

Until I have enough evidence to expose Thomas and make sure no one can dismiss what I say, I could be putting myself at risk every time I am alone with him.Mom would be devastated if she discovered what Thomas has been doing to me.
