Chapter 0214 1 chere because I started to explain, then hesitated. As estranged as we were, it still felt bizarre and somewhat wrong to divulge the full truth about my reasons for being here to Bella of all people. I exhaled slowly and made up my mind, she would need to know it all if she was to be of any real help. "I chere for revenge "Revenge?" Jessica asked, her previous scowl of anger and irritation finally easing into one of naked curiosity and interest? "Revenge against who exactly?" She looked ataskance as I took an unbidden step closer towards her. She immediately retreated a step back in response, clearly ill at ease withencroaching on her personal space. I couldn't help but let out a faint chuckle at her wariness.
"Relax, I don't actually bite, you know." Then I leaned in closer until my mouth was a mere inch from her ear, lowering my voice to an conspiratorial murmur, "This Lucas that you probably know about already...you do know who Lucas is, right?" She nodded wordlessly.

I chere intending to use Tavon as an unwitting weapon against Dylan, before finally killing that murdering impostor myself." I didn't bother adding the critical details that my plan to 'use' Tavon had only cabout as a reluctant maneuver after Dylan had effectively soldto the lecherous old man against my will, or that even now I was starting to have serious doubts that killing Dylan was even remotely possible. It was difficult enough getting this unbelievable truth out there.
Jessica's sculpted brows shot up in what seemed to be grudging interest and amusement as she pulled back, snorting a laugh through her nose.
"Well isn't that an interesting little tale? So what is this then, your fake boyfriend Dylan is playing stwisted gof pretend while living in the real Lucas's skin? Shit, it sounds more like the plot of one of those trashy telea s than anything actually real!" I fixed her with a long-suffering look that screamed 'I'm being utterly serious here. "We were never close enough as sisters to really engage in that sort of joking around or gossip like teenage girls hiding out in school bathrooms. This is my reality, as crazy as it might sound to you.
"Well..." she trailed off with a dismissive shrug of her shoulders, still seemingly unconvinced.
An awkward silence fell between us as Jessica appeared to privately mull over the unexpected revelations I had just uncorked in her direction, occasionally letting slip another rude scoff or mocking chuckle under her breath.
"All I ask is that you don't breathe a single word about my plans or anything I've told you here to another living soul," I blurted out insistently. I needed her sworn silence if we were to have any hope of m accomplishing my goal.

Then I turned on my heel and started for the bathroom door. I had to excuse myself from this suddenty tense situation as quickly as possible. But before I could make good on my exit, Jessica quickly sidestepped to block my path, planting herself squarely in front of me.
"Wait just a damned minute," she said slowly, a borderline predatory smirk tugging at the corners of her lips that immediately hadNO chastising myself. I never should have revealed so much, I realized with a sinking feeling of dismay. Now what new price or terms was this viper going to try and extract from me? More money, perhaps?
"If you get down on your knees and begnicely," she began in that sunctuous tone, "then maybe I'll Make consider helping to make your little revenge fantasy into a reality. She arched one perfectly shaped eyebrow atin clear challenge. "You obviously could use all the help you can get, am I right?" Like RICH WOMEN? These women desperately want a mature men!
