Chapter 217 I'm Done

• Serena tossed and turned in the vast bed, her eyes wide open despite the exhaustion weighing down on her limbs. She needed to sleep but still could not because her mind was racing. She could not keep doing this-living each day pretending everything was okay and jumping every time the door creaked or Adriano glanced at her too long. Martin still had the power to destroy everything, and he had already promised her that he would tell Adriano everything. She could still remember the look in his eyes at the graveyard, and she knew for a fact that he was not bluffing.
• Finally, things between her and Adriano did not suck anymore. They were going out on dates now, hugging each other, but just one message from Martin would ruin everything. She did not know what Adriano would do when he learned the truth. He might kill her. But instead of waiting for Martin to expose her, it would be better if she told Adriano everything herself. Yes, she should tell Adriano everything first-her own version, which was the truth-before Martin could paint an even uglier picture for Adriano.
• Her chest ached with dread. She would tell Adriano, but not tonight. Tonight, she would do what she should have done a long time ago: end this crazy alliance with Trejo.
