What could it be that could be making him this mad? I asked myself as my heart started beating faster. What was he talking about?
Sammy hesitated as he looked at me, then he passed me his phone. His face was right, like he knew that whatever it was that I was about to see would hurt me but he didn’t want to hide it from me.
It was a video of me and it was everywhere. I didn’t need to read all the headlines to understand. They were all variations of the same lie, ‘Tessa abandons her sick father after taking his company away from him.’
My stomach twisted into knots as heat rose up my neck, anger and shame raining inside of me.
I gave the phone back to Sammy.
“I’m going to the hospital,” I announced, my voice shaking.
Zane was back at my side in a breath and expressing his concern.
