Truth of Dark Pasts - Serena Wood (kiss me liar novel english .TXT) 📗

if something went wrong with her plans, Ellie is more than likely going to be the first one to suffer; and then Shay and I. But River does have one point, of all the possible scenarios in my head; Chloe hurting River doesn’t seem to be one. But why?

“River… Why does she want you back anyways?” I try to word it as carefully as I possibly can, fearing it’s something River doesn’t want to talk about.

“She’s insane.” it doesn’t take River long at all to answer my question with that statement, but she hesitates on the rest of her answer. “She lives in this fantasy world… she thought I was her wife or something. That’s why she treated Ellie so badly, she thought of her as a mistress.” she pauses for a moment, as if she’s trying to forget everything she just said. She gives Shay and I a minute to process the story before looking away from her hands with that determined look still in place. “We both had to go along with it or suffer the consequence. I acted that well for months, I know I can keep up the act long enough to get Ellie out of there.”

Shay reaches across me to pat River’s knee and smiles encouragingly, going along with River’s plan. After a moment of hesitation, I’m forced to go along with it too. I have a lot of faith in River’s judgement, she knows Chloe better than either of us ever will. But still, something in the back of my mind nags at me. Something bad is going to happen.
