Doubt #2 (The Deception Series #1)
Page 8
The toxic smell of her perfume hits me as soon as I step into the room. Damn Jess! Is this a booby trap or something?! Somehow my nose adjusts to the potent aroma, which allows me to scan around her room with stable bearings. It's such a mess! Files and folders are littered everywhere. A familiar white top on a pile of clothes catches my attention. There it is! I knew she had it!
Despite the anger of Jess having it in her room, I am relieved to know that I won't have to put up with this much longer. Ducking and diving over files and folders on the floor, I grab my top from the pile of clothes and begin to make a hasty retreat out of the room. As I approach the door to leave, something on her "Criminal Pinup Board" catches the corner of my eye.
I take a small glimpse then turn away, but a couple of pinned up photos force me look back again. As I turn my stiffened body around, I sense my mouth falling wide open. Losing all control over my body, I drop the top from my hand and take in a sharp gasp as I stare hopelessly at multiple photos and scribbled writing. It's Dean and Steve.
Does this mean that they are brothers?
Dean and Steve Morgan? I thought his name was Dean Knight? Tremors begin to grip every part of my anatomy as I read on. Why is there a picture of me and Dean at brunch yesterday? What the fuck is going on!?
Tears begin to run down my colorless face. My heart sinks so low that numbness is the only sensation I feel. I drop down to my knees and stare at the floor in hope that this a fictitious nightmare. I cannot stomach or bring myself to read any more of what's on the board. Instead, I grip the carpet with my nails and start retching over the severe nausea I am forced to embrace.
"This can't be happening... How could he lie to me? How could Jess not tell me?" I weep, feeling the loneliest I have ever felt in my entire life. "What do I do? Why does this always happen to me?" I sob desperately to myself, all alone in the room that has destroyed everything I ever thought to be true.
Doubt #3
"Caught between a lie that she never saw coming, Dana is left torn and mortified as she lays in a heap in the very room that has shattered everything she believed to be true.
Confronting Dean and demanding answers to some heartfelt questions is the only thing she desires now, but when he reveals some startling facts from his past and present, will Dana's perception of him change? Or has his deceitful lies damaged any chance of salvation?
One thing is for sure though, Dean is up against the clock, meaning Dana has only two bleak options. Stay, or go."
