I ask.He hands me his phone. It’s a social media post about how Grace abandoned her family to be with me. How her brother is sick and being with me made her ignore their pleas for help."Get rid of this post and anyone who tries to spread this..." I tell him. Damian nods.Andre swears under his breath and speeds up.“What’s going on?” I ask.“Someone reported Damian to the police” he says.Fucking hell. This was one bad thing after another.
