Chapter 214 Start Talking

• As the front door shut behind Serena, the silence in the house grew heavy. Rita stood frozen in place, her eyes locked on the spot where her sister had just been. Then, slowly, she turned toward Anna with an expression that was anything but calm. Her gaze was sharp and disbelieving.
• "How could you?" she demanded, her voice low but firm. "How could you believe that Serena would do something like that? You have known her your whole life."
• Anna was still trembling with rage, her arms tightly folded across her chest. "I know Martin," she said firmly. "And he would not lie to me." There was absolutely no reason for Martin to lie to her. He loved her; he had said it himself. So if he was breaking up with her, it was because someone forced him to.
