I swallowed hard, unsure of how to proceed. I had never seen him this rattled, not even when everything about our fake relationship had started spiraling out of control. There was something about Liam's presence, something that affected Michael in a way i couldn't fully understand.
"He's not going to leave us alone, is he?" i asked quietly.
Michael turned to face me, his eyes dark and filled with barely contained fury. "No, he's not."
There was something in the way he said it—something final. I could sense the unspoken threat in his words, the undercurrent of danger that Liam's return had brought with it. I had no idea what kind of games Liam was playing, but i knew that whatever it was, it wouldn't end well for any of us.
