Chapter 16

Damon

I had no idea how things had gone from bad to worse all in a few days. One moment, I was happy and sure that Hayley and I were going to find our way back to each other and that we were going to come out of this scandal stronger than ever, and now this?

I had refused to believe it, I didn’t even want to think about the possibility that Hayley was capable of trying to murder Annie and my unborn child, but the evidence was too overwhelming. In fact, she was the only one that stood to gain the most from Annie’s demise because it would mean that she would no longer have a rival who would struggle for her position as Luna. No one would question for her to be replaced and it would be as if I had never even cheated because there would be no evidence of it. No Annie. No child.

As much as everything sounded exactly like that and pointed to Hayley as the culprit, every night when I went to bed, I asked myself if there was even a one percent chance that all of this was just a big mistake.
