Chapter Eight

Olive stared at Liam, and even in the dark room she could see how vibrant green his eyes were. He was pleading with her to tell him what happened, but honestly she had no clue. “I don’t really know, to tell you the truth.” She cleared her throat because her voice was harsh from her emotions. “All I know is what Lor told you.” She scrubbed her hand over her eyes and breathed out roughly. Her immediate concern was whether Holden would be okay. When she had seen him yesterday in the cell he had been so very weak, but he had been lucid. But then when Lor had met her in the garden and Holden had been muttering incoherent things and had been barely able to keep himself upright, so she knew things were far worse than she had thought. The slight stench of an infection had hit her full force when she had wrapped her arms around him and his body was pressed right up against hers.

Liam gave her hands a gentle squeeze, urging her to tell him anything else she could remember. Olive may have given him a condensed version of why she was staying with Trent, but this time she told him everything, and didn’t leave anything out. She told Liam about her brother’s drug problems, the deal she’d made with Trent, and everything until the point she had fallen into his arms in the woods. There wasn’t anything she left out. Not the women’s screams she heard at night, or the way Trent watched her, or even the things he had promised to do to her when her time with him was supposedly slated to be done. He was
