CHAPTER THIRTEEN - CHRISTINE

She hasn’t changed much. It’s only been a couple years since I saw her last but from what I’ve heard she’s been quite busy these past two years.

As evident by the tow-headed, blue-eyed, pig-tailed toddler clinging to her knee at the moment.

But Eliza is Eliza is Eliza. Through and through. She might be more beautiful now than ever.

I hold in my jealousy and my rage. I check all my hidden feelings of betrayal because, like it or not, that’s how we got to this moment in the first place.

She is why I betrayed Alec. And now she will be the way I get him back.
