Chapter: Chapter 50 : Truth Chapter FiftyIvyI woke up on the couch about an hour later. I looked around the apartment and realized that I fell asleep .…. Billy asked me to stay in this apartment and said he won't be longThe place I'm staying in might belong to him and there were guards at the entrance to insure my safety. I walked to the window and looked around hoping he would be back soonAfter a while the door opened and an old yet strong and tall man appeared before my eyes.I was flabbergasted he entered the house so quietly and calmly as if the house was his.

Billy said opening the car's door for me."What...""I'll explain everything, hurry !"swiftly I climbed inside the black tinted SUV before he drove away. Shocked was the least I could say about my state right then."Wait how about Cole...?" I objected as soon as I closed the door behind me after I sat inside.So much for leaving him huh? The voice of my conscience reasoned inside my head"Do not worry about Cole ; the police is with him""But..""Do not worry, I took care of it. He never was their target anyway; they were afte

Do I know her ?My head was drumming loud.Where am I , what happened ?...My throat felt dry and my body numb , I could not move . I slowly opened my eyes to an empty room, the bluish walls and white curtains that surrounded me indicated that I was in a hospital room."Ivy ?" I could feel her hand In mine . My eyelids felt heavy so I surrendered to the comfort of the darkness.FlashbackIvy's body was on the floor not moving…I felt something piercing through my back. .. I've seen the blood on Ivy's white dress …the fear of losing her to those men..She was completely dull on the ground, her white floating dress stained with my blood …"Baby please wake up!".
