ISLA~
"—guessing I really did ruin everything." I said after talking for about thirty minutes with Leonard and getting no response.
I felt broken. I felt the control I once had, slipping away from my fingers.The quiet, solitary peace I had painstakingly built over the years was slowly shattering right before my eyes.
And without realizing, I had gotten a bit emotional. I felt a tear run down my cheeks. It was the second time I was crying for a person after I called her loose.
I sniffed, my grip tightening on the casing of my phone until my knuckles turned white. "You put yourself in my freaking shoes, Leonard. My parents died because of their standing in society, sacrificed by greedy fucks like your father. Years later, I find out the man who I thought saved me—the one I trusted blindly—was actually the mastermind behind their deaths. What do you do in that position? Leave it for justice?"
