The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1017

Haillie didn't buy what Ellinor was saying for a second. Patricia was her ride-or-die; they'd grown up together, and Haillie thought she knew Patricia like the back of her hand. No way would Patricia ever play her like that, and she didn't think for a second that Patricia had a bad bone in her body.

But reality was staring her straight in the face. After getting a glimpse of Patricia's true colors, Haillie's faith was seriously shaken.

Balfour's eyes turned icy after hearing Haillie's confession. The brotherly love he once had for her was replaced with pure hatred. "You were in on this?"
