Bound to my Enemy novel Chapter 211

Chapter 211: Chapter 211.

I close my eyes briefly.

"Exactly."

There’s a shift on his end, I can hear it. That moment where doubt creeps in whether he wants it to or not.

"You really think someone set him up?" he asks.

"I don’t know what to think," I admit. "But this doesn’t add up."

Another pause Then.....

"Or," he says slowly, "someone used his name on purpose."

"That’s exactly what I’m saying."

"To frame him."

"Or to make sure if anything came out, it leads back to him," I add.

Lucas lets out a quiet curse under his breath.

"Fuck."

I sit back down on the bed, my legs suddenly feeling weaker than they should.

"I needed you to know," I say.

"You did right," he replies immediately.

There’s no hesitation in his voice now, no dismissal.

"I’ll look into it," he continues. "Properly this time."

"How?" I ask.

"I’ll start with Mia," he says. "Where she met him. When. If there’s any pattern. Any detail she missed before."

I nod, even though he can’t see me.

"Okay."

"And Elaine...."

I hum softly in response.

"Don’t jump to conclusions yet," he says. "We don’t have the full picture."

"I know."

But my voice doesn’t sound as certain as I want it to.

Lucas sighs quietly.

"I’ll call you when I have something," he says.

"Okay."

There’s a brief pause before he adds, softer this time....

"You good?"

I look around my room, at the familiar walls.

"...I don’t know," I admit.

He doesn’t push.

"Get some rest if you can," he says. "We’ll figure this out."

"Yeah."

The call ends and I’m left sitting there again alone But this time....My thoughts aren’t just heavy, theey’re racing because now there’s a crack in everything I thought I knew. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

And I don’t know if that makes things better.....
