“Fuck you. You’re nothing but a liar,” I hissed at Ivan, not allowing myself to even begin to believe his words.
“Oh I assure you, I would not lie about something like this,” he said coolly. “After all, her mother will not be happy about this. I suspect I will have to spend the next many years apologizing to my sister for what I am about to do.”
My mind was racing. I glanced from face to face, trying to discern whether or not Ivan was telling the truth. Would he really stoop so low as to put his own niece in danger? I wasn’t sure. I hated the fact that he had known that Natalia was my weak spot. Even knowing she’d betrayed me, I still didn’t want her to be put in danger.
