Chapter 9 - The Message Spencer Feared

Spencer grabbed his phone quickly.
Too quickly.
I watched him delete the message.
That told me everything.
He wasn’t hiding kindness.
He was hiding evidence.
I asked:
“Who is she?”
He froze.
“What?”
“The woman.”
His face hardened.
For the first time, I saw anger instead of charm.
“You need to stop asking questions.”
The sentence broke something inside me.
Because he wasn’t asking me to trust him.
He was ordering me.
I stood up.
“Who are you?”
He looked away.
And that was the answer.
Then the nurse rushed in.
“Mrs. Riley?”
“Yes?”
May you like
“There’s someone here asking for you.”
