Chapter 318: Reiner - His Confession
I wasn’t sure where this conversation was headed but I had feeling that this wasn’t going to turn out as a normal date. A knot formed in the pit of my stomach as I had a strong sense of foreboding. Yesterday, Reiner asked about my mother as well.
“Lucien’s good. He managed to tell you half-truths without directly lying to you and without telling you the whole story either,” Reiner said with a soft laugh.
“Excuse me?” I said, not quite following.
“He’s right. Your mother died in a car, but it wasn’t an accident. He’s also right when he said that she was killed,” Reiner replied.
“Do you...know something about my mother’s death?” I asked hesitantly. That was what his words were leading me to believe.
“You see that bend right there in the road below,” Reiner said as he pointed a finger at the bend in the road.
I knew right away where he was referring to because he had been staring at that spot for a long while now without breaking eye contact with it.
“Yes. What of it?” I asked, urging him to get to the point.
Reiner turned around to face me and for the first time his eyes were on my face instead of that bend in the road below. I gulped at the sight of his dead and emotionless blue eyes. His eyes made me shiver and suddenly I felt very cold and nervous.
