"Why did you lie for him?" "He begged me." Leo’s voice was low and strained. "Got in my face and said I had to tell you it was nothing. I didn’t get it. I didn’t know he was sneaking around with you. I thought he was just being an asshole, covering his tracks with Kendra because she's been run through by almost every prospect. So I lied for him. Covered his ass. Even though I knew he'd probably slept with her. Or was sleeping with her. I'm sorry. It was stupid of me to do that. I should have told you the truth. I'm sorry you got caught in the middle of his mess."

"Pen, I know you didn't. We are going to fix it. Hang tight." "Okay." She whispers, sounding nothing like herself. Layla hung up, returning her gaze to me. "We are going to find him. He's going to tell the story that Penelope can't. Then, this ridiculous attempt to destroy everything we've worked for will be put to bed." "And how do you know he'll agree to say anything? How do you know the media will believe he's even the same person?" "In every lie, there's an element of truth. So we're going to tell a lie, and the truth will not be far off."

His voice remains calm. Controlled. That somehow makes it worse. I stare out the glass windows of my office. The city stretches endlessly below. Busy. Loud. Alive. Meanwhile my heart suddenly feels too loud inside my chest. “You left,” I say quietly. Another pause. Then— “I did.” No excuses. No lies. No attempt to deny it.

She turned back and walked towards Kyle, she looked at him before looking at me, with a glare "No one will ever love you, you will never get a man as good as Kyle. You are pathetic Tara, sorry to say but no one likes a girl who keeps secrets from her boyfriend." Damn, she always gets me, I hate the fact she always gets to my head. She turned back and was about to leave when I stop her, I walked towards her and stood right in front of her, staring into her eyes "For your kind information Maria, you are the pathetic one, not me, if I remember clearly, Kyle didn’t cheat on me, actually, we were playing each other."

Hoping I’d heard wrongly. “I can’t do this anymore.” Sapphire breathed heavily, her voice cracking as she continued. “Every day I wake up feeling like a stranger in my own home. I can’t keep wallowing in guilt. My husband… my kids… I can’t… keep lying to them!. I will do anything.

Cole’s eyes narrowed. “Is that so?” He turned to me. “Forgive him for what?” Lloyd tilted his head. “Trying to orchestrate another hero moment, are you, brother?
