Chapter 95
DEMI
"Are you okay? What happened?" Anna asks after Ashton leaves. I lay my head down on her couch and press my eyes shut.
"I’ll be fine."
"But what happened, Demi? I called you countless times and even texted. You didn’t respond and here you are with a broken nose. Who did this to you?"
Because she won’t stop talking unless I answer her questions, I tell her everything.
"That bitch Kira. How much lower can she stoop? What exactly is her problem with you? I don’t mind her going for your leftovers. She can have that dickhead for all I care but deceiving you like that and leaving you alone with him? I am going to pay her and her evil mother a surprise visit at night and chuck eggs and tissue papers around their house."
I know she means it. I hope she does it. With a small smile, I pat her shoulder.
"Thank God Ashton got there on time. Who knows what else Iman had planned."
"Yeah. I guess."
So much happened today that I want to share with Anna. I hate that it ended with Iman and that’s all Anna can fixate on right now given how furious she is. I want to tell her all Amber told me and even what had happened with Maddie.
If I get talking, I’d probably be too distracted to recall the car ride with Ashton and how livid I felt towards him because of Amber’s tale. It was also awkward because ever since his engagement, we haven’t been able to have a proper conversation, especially with our family and his fiancée watching us like hawks but the awkwardness was nothing compared to annoyance I felt.
