    Chapter 39 : Betrayal of a Protector


    A couple days passed, and I refused to see anyone. Ethan hadn’t visited since then. I was thankful he d


    idn‘t, because I didn’t know how I could face him. When people came to visit me, I refused to speak. I k


    new deep


    down, from their worried eyes, that there was no telling if anything truthful woulde from their mouth


    s. How was I supposed to act like


    everything was okay when I knew what the truth was? “Rosalie?” Vicky‘s voice called out as Iyed in


    bed. I had been refusing to shower or change for any asion. I heard her moving in through the bedr


    oom door, but with my back facing her, she couldn‘t tell if I was asleep or awake. “Please tell me what‘s


    wrong…” she said, and my heart broke hearing how upset and hurt she was. Vicky had be my be


    st friend, and I hated not speaking to her. I hated how things were between us. I turned over and faced


    her, my face red and puffy, and my eyes dry from crying all the tears I shed over the situation.


    “Did you know?” I asked softly, my voice cracking in my raw throat. Her brow furrowed in


    confusion at my question. “Know what?” I sat up to better face her. “Rosalie, you‘re making me very an


    xious right now… don‘t scare me. What is it?” I could tell she was genuinely confused and terrified. I sm


    iled bitterly. Vicky, Vicky, should I trust you? “Rosalie…?”


    She didn‘t give up. That was Vicky. I looked her in the eyes and decided to take the risk. “….That Ethan


    is going to kill me once I have the baby.” My t reply was met with a shocked and horrified expression


    on Vicky‘s face. “What!?” She eximed. “That‘s ridiculous!” “Is it?” I said, and rolled back over on the


    bed, turning away from her. “Ethan cares about you, Rosalie! He would never kill you…” Then her voice


    lowered, and she covered her mouth with her hands. It took her a few seconds to process it, but it had


    dawned on her that I wouldn‘t lie.

    “How how did you find out…?” Her voice was trembling. It was odd that I was the one who was calm. “I


    heard Talon and Ethan talking in the living roomst night. Talon was arguing with Ethan about it, and E


    than said they were sticking to that n. Talon knew_”


    A sob escaped my throat while trying to exin, Evidently, I wasn‘t as calm as I had thought. “Talon wo


    uldn‘t…” Vicky said hesitantly. “No… he couldn‘t!” “He never cared about me.”


    My statement was ambiguous, but it was directed for both Talon and Ethan. Neither of


    them cared. It was just a job. Vicky rushed to me and cradled me in her arms, tears streaming down he


    r cheeks. “I won‘t let this happen, Rosalie. I‘m going to talk to Talon… this isn‘t going to happen.” “No!”

    *Talon‘s POV


    The conversation with


    Ethan hadn‘t gone as I had expected the other night. I had tried several times to make him reconsider,


    but he was now more adamant


    than anything that we were going to go through with the n. No matter how much he tried to deny that


    he cared for Rosalie, I knew he did. And if I could get him to realize that maybe I could save her.


    I couldn‘t allow him to kill her. I had to do something. But I was stuck in


    a position that was far from ideal. “Talon!” My sister‘s voice screamed from the other side of my door, p


    ulling me out of


    my own thoughts. Quickly, I opened the door, I saw her fuming face on the other side for a moment bef


    ore she pushed her way past into my


    room. “What‘s wrong?” I asked, feeling confused. “Did something happen? Is Rosalie okay?!” “Like you


    care,” she replied coldly, looking at me with a deadly stare. “Excuse me? I‘ve been worried about her t


    hest couple days


    just like you. I just don‘t understand what happened to make her turn for the worse like she did.” Vicky s


    tood before me, and looking at her now, I could see that she‘d been crying.


    My sister was strong, and never let anyone see her in a disheveled state. So for her to be here looking l


    ike this, something terrible must have happened. “Is it true that the n for Rosalie all along has been t


    o kill her after she has the baby?”


    Those words were thest thing I‘d expected to hear out of my sister‘s mouth. The only people who kne


    w were Ethan and


    me I quickly moved toward the door and closed it before anyone else could hear the conversation.


    “Who told you that?” I asked, narrowing my eyes at


    her. “So it‘s true, then!” she gasped, covering her mouth. “How could you? She trusted you!” “The situat


    ion is moreplicated than that.”


    “Moreplicated, Talon?! Rosalie is family to us, and has be one of my best friends. You let us g

    need to remember your ce, Vicky,” I added. “Or what, Talon? Are you


    going to kill me, too?!” I was stunned by herment and left speechless. She red challengingly at m


    said, “Do me a favor and forget we had this conversation.” Something was nagging at me. I had asked h


    “It doesn‘t matter how I found out,” Vicky replied, acting hesitant.


    She quickly went to leave, and I grabbed her arm, roughly pulling her back. “I won‘t ask you again! Who


    will make her life worse. If he‘s going to kill her, fine, but let her live her life as she chooses until then. Sh

    caused her so much pain. Just let her have this… Please don‘t tell him she knows.” Taking a deep breat


    nodded my head, not saying another word. Vicky hesitated for a moment before


    quickly turning and walking out of my bedroom. Inner turmoil tore through me, and my
