Chapter 311

AXEL

“How in the hell can you say you rejected Emily for her sake?” Aaron demands heatedly.

“There are things about me you don’t know, Aaron. Dangerous things.”

Aaron scoffs. “You expect me to be surprised about that? You’re not exactly an open book. And I’ve heard the rumors.”

“Most of what you heard about me is just that. Rumors. A lot of them started by Karolina to discredit me.”

Aaron seems to pause and take this in.

“Why would Karolina want to discredit you?”

“Because she knew I was onto her, and she needed me out of the way. She couldn’t kill me, so locking me up on false charges was obviously the next best thing.”

Aaron is definitely re–examining everything he thought he knew about me.

“Okay, I’m listening,” he says, some of the anger going out of him. “Who are you really, and why were you after Karolina?”

“My real name is Axiel Mercier-”

At this Aaron’s expression turns into shock.

And this is exactly why I never use my real name anymore.
