Enzo’s Lie
“Where are you going?” Langston asks.
“To make a phone call,” I say, walking back into my private cabins. I don’t need Langston following me and trying to stop me.
The guilt eats at me as I walk. Is it okay to lie to those you love, even to protect them?
I’m sure it’s a sin, but one I’m willing to commit again and again to keep Kai safe.
Because the lies I told her were limitless.
I claimed Milo was dead when we both knew he wasn’t.
I lied when I said I wouldn’t protect her—I always will.
And I lied when I didn’t tell her I loved her.
I should have told her. Maybe that would have changed everything. Or maybe it would have risked everything. Because the only way to keep her safe is to make this deal. She deserves a life free of all of this.
Away from Milo.
Aw
