That's impossible," Amara whispered.
Daniel laughed.
"You were never good at lying."
My head spun.
Was he telling the truth?
"No," Amara said quickly.
"He's manipulating you."
But doubt had already entered the room.
Daniel walked closer to me.
"Ask her," he said softly.
My heart pounded.
"Ask her where she was last night."
I turned to Amara.
She looked terrified.
"Answer him," Daniel said.
Silence.
Then she whispered—
"I was with him."
The room exploded again.
My heart shattered for the second time.
She had been meeting him.
Even after everything.
Even after helping me.
But Daniel shook his head.
"Not like that."
Everyone froze.
"Because the truth is much worse."
