Chapter 52 (A)

For quite a time there was just silence in the room. The only sound that was filling the room was Ivy’s sniffles and Ryan’s urgent breaths. No one dared to speak a word after what I just said.

I sneaked a glance at Lyla and she paused a smile to me with a thumbs up. I smiled back at her and then looked down where Ryan’s hands were resting. I grabbed his hand and entwined our fingers.

“I can do one thing for you.” The silence was broken by Ivy. “I can delete all the pictures but in return you have to burn all the proofs you have against me.” She made a deal but Ryan wasn’t going to let her have that. I knew it before he opened his mouth to speak.
