Ivy
I squinted at my phone. There was a text message, but it was from an unknown number.
"Hey Ivy, I need to talk to you." The words were plain, but my heart skipped a beat when I saw who it was from.
Ellie. After everything.
What could Ellie "need" that involved me after everything she put me and Aidan through?
"Should I respond?" I looked down at my belly and asked. "She did try to kill me, but she is still your auntie."
Curiosity clawed at me. Ellie wouldn't reach out without reason. She must be desperate about something.
"Fine," I whispered and picked up the device again. My thumb hovered over the keyboard, the letters blurry as my mind raced. My thumb pressed down, typing out words that could either be my shield or my undoing.
"Ellie, what do you want?"
Sent. The deed was done. Now, all there was to do was wait.
I waited impatiently for her reply.
