I could see the strain on my father's face as he tried to make his way through the crowd, but I knew that he was innocent of the charges that had been brought against him, my Dad could be many things but not a murderer or drug dealer.As I watched the TV screen, my mind was filled with a jumb

I had just discovered that the man I was willing to dedicate my whole being too had been lying to me the whole time.He had a fiance, I didn't even know what to call what we had but he definitely was cheating on her with me, and even if he says otherwise she didn't even know what to believe. The thought of it made me feel sick to my stomach, and I didn't know what to do.Feeling completely lost, I reached for my phone and searched for Presley's name on my contact list.

Logan's POV Next day ......10:00 am...I parked my car outside Olivia's house, I felt my heart race with anticipation as I prepared to face my past squarely once and for all now.
