A Deal With the Devil

It was as if a bucket of cold water was emptied down on Jack's head as he widened his eyes at Lily, a realization that Lily had used him hit him hard. News of him having a meeting with Lily would eventually reach the ears of Sofia and Liam. So, no matter what his decision was, Sofia and Liam would eventually come for him once they resolve their own scandals. 

"What? Speechless? Was it because I hit the nail on the head? Why don't you just stop harassing Liam and move on with your pathetic life? Huh? You think this can bring Liam down?" Monique's shrill voice rang even louder, echoing inside the coffee shop. Even though this meant that everyone could hear her, she didn't care because she felt that Liam was the victim here.

Meanwhile Lily was just staring at Jack with a smirk on her face. "We already made a deal," Lily softly said, just loud enough for Jack to hear in the midst of Monique's tirade.
