“Never push a loyal person to the point where they no longer give a damn’

Lacey's RO.V

“youn”

with his hands in his pants pocket but it wasn't him who had shouted, it was

Huh

What the hell?

How does Cassidy know Dylan?

/ narrow my eyes between an angry Cassidy and a stunned Dylan who

looked like he was about to piss his pants

"How do you know Dylan, Cass?" "That's what I'd like to know, kid" Klayton said as he looked at his wife confused

“Babe, how do you know this little b***h?" Ub! Cassie was about to explain when she was cut off by Dylan

“Cassie, please don't do this, I'm begging you" Dylan pleaded with Cassidy who snapped her head towards him in

anger

Chapter 77 - More Skeletons In. bad "Don't you ever interrupt me again, asshole” Cassidy growled startling me

Cassie is normally very calm and is often described as the calm to Klayton's storm, so it's strange to see her act like this with Dylan

“Ok, what the hell is going on here? how do you know Dylan, Cass? and why are you being so hostile towards him?"

“That's what I'm trying to find out, principessa”

Klayton said whilst keeping his angry eyes firmly fixed on his wife

“Two words, baby, Carter Myers"

Carter Myers?

/ thought to myself as my face scrunched up in confusion

"The Gucci model?"

/ ask and Cassie nods her head

"Got it in one, babe”

"Cassie, what's Carter got to do with this?”

“Do you remember that ex he told you about?"

"Yeah"

Klayton said looking just as confused q_as.J.am

"He's the ex"

"WHAT?"

Klayton and I shouted in unison

“What the hell did you just say, Cassidy?"

Klayton growled through clenched teeth as I stood there in shock

“You heard me, Klay, Dylan Tate is Carter's ex-boyfriend, well, if you can even call him that, babe...in my opinion, it takes a hell of a lot more

than several casual dates here and there and a few dozen s****I encounters

Chapter 77 - More Skeletons In... bel to hand outa title like that to someone but you know Carter”

Cassidy said while rolling her eyes as I remained in total shock

No, this can't be possible

Dylan told me he's only ever been intimate with one man and that's Luca

"When?"

/ ask barely above a whisper

“Huh, what did you say, Lace?"

Cassie asks and I clear my throat before licking my lips

/ winced in pain completely forgetting about the hit my brother landed on me

/ still can't believe the little s**t hit me

/ guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree, does it?

"lasked when? when did they date?"

“Hmm, I don't know... think it was around six years ago"

Oh my god

"Six years ago?"

“Yeah, Carter told me he and Dylan were dating and that it wasn't that serious because according to Dylan, he had just broken up with his

childhood sweetheart after he had come out as a bi-s****I and he was just looking for some casual fun...Carter said they dated for a couple

of months

before they ended things for good when Dylan met someone else who he

claims was his soulmate” / can't believe this

“Lace...Lacey, please don't believe her, she's lying"

Dylan pleaded with me as he knelt down in front of me and grabbed hold of my hand

Chapter 77 - More Skeletons In... 7° "She's lying" / growl as I look down at Dylan

"You said Luca was the first?...you told me Luca was the one and only man you've ever been with, Dylan"

“He is, Lace, I promise you" "WELL, APPARENTLY NOT, DYLAN!" / shout startling everyone and causing my disgusting ex to flinch

“Because according to Cassidy, you also cheated on me with a damn runway model”

"I didn't, I swear, you have to believe me, ../...1/don't even know who

Carter Myers is" "YOU'RE A f*****g LIARLl"

/ shout as I pull my hand away from his and slap him hard across his face

“What?..wait, y.you're the childhood sweetheart, Lace?" Cassidy asks with shock and surprise in her tone

“Yeah babe, Lacey is Dylan's ex-fiance and he was never bi, he was just agay man using Lacey as a cover”

Ouch, that hurts

It shouldn't but it does

"Oh my god"

Cassie gasps

“Wait, so, he's the one who you know...at that party a few years ago? you know the one you had to fly solo on because I was sick”

Cassie muttered under her breath

She was probably hoping I wouldn't hear her but! did and now I'm even more confused

Chapter 77 - More Skeletons In...

What the hell is she talking about now?

“Yes babe, now sshhhil” Klayton whispered/growled to his wife

"What are you two talking about?" "Nothing, cugina” "It's obviously not nothing, Klay, if you're telling your wife to shut up, so spill..what's

she talking about?"

The atmosphere was thick with tension and the deafening silence wasn't making the situation any better

“asked you a question, Klayton and I expect an answer to it right

now

/ growled earning myself a nasty glare from my cousin but wasn't fazed by it one single bit

Normally, would be fazed by Klayton's glares and his growls even iff wasn't the cause of them because he's a naturally scary guy but right

now, 1

didn’t care

/ guess the reason why I didn't care is because I could feel myself slowly going numb from all of this bullshit and I could also feel myself

shutting down at the constant trouble and trauma my family are continuously putting me through

“What did Dylan do? and what party is Cassie referring to?" / ask my cousin who looked hesitant to answer me

"Tell her Klayton, she deserves to know"

Justin says with a sigh

/ briefly looked at Justin and at Logan before looking back at my

cousin and they all had the same expressions on their faces

/ can't really explain what this expression was but it looked like a sad,

Chapter 77 - More Skeletons In... ~

pained and guilty look all rolled into one but why would they feel this way? what did Dylan do that was so bad?

“Do you remember your birthday party six years ago?"

"Yeah, the one I had in the Hamptons”

"Yeah, that one”

Klayton said as he looked down and ran a hand through his hair before looking back at me

“Well, it's nothing major but considering you guys were a couple and you were engaged..."

Klayton drifted off and I felt my heart rate speed up while my head started to spin with strange and confusing thoughts

Thoughts that I shouldn't be thinking about because it's ridiculous to think of Klayton this way when he's clearly into women but then again,

I've been burned by the straight man or alleged straight man before so my thoughts of Klayton and Dylan being together aren't completely

farfetched

“Wait, did you two..." "Oh hell no, Lacey, I'm straight" "So was Dylan at one point, Klayton, what's your point?"

/ ask and he looks at me shocked but it wasn't because I was

insinuating he was gay, no, it was because my point was right

“Ok, I see your point but that's not what's going on here"

“Then what's going on because I'm starting to get fed up with all of the secrets in this family and for once, I just want someone to be

straight

with me" No pun intended

“Like I'said kid, it wasn't anything major..but when I went to the toilet

Chapter 77 - More Skeletons In... ~

that night to take a piss...Dylan was in there as well and he couldn't keep his eyes off my erm..you know"

Oh my god

/s this a joke?

I looked down at Dylan who was as white as a ghost and he looked like he was in shock, he also looked broken as well but he wasn't even

close to feeling how I was feeling

“First Luca, now Klayton, who's next Dylan, hmm?..am also gonna find out that you were trying to screw my grandfather whilst we were a

couple, as well?" “Lace, please...” "DON'T TALK TO ME, DYLAN!!" / growled as angry tears flowed down my cheeks

/'m done, I am so done

/ thought to myself as I walked away and headed up to my bedroom

When I got there, I slammed the door shut and a sob escaped my mouth,

What did I do?

What have I done to deserve this kind of pain and torture?

Was I such an evil person in my past life that God has decided to

punish me in this one?

/ was brought out of my thoughts when I heard my phone jingle

At first, / wasn't gonna answer it but then I changed my mind, especially when I saw who it was that was calling me

"Hello" "Hey, doll"

Chapter 77 - More Skeletons In...

Abby says and / smile

“I swear you're my fairy godmother, Abs"

“Why do you say that, doll? is everything ok?"

Abby asks sounding very concerned for me

“No Abs, everything is far from ok and I say you're my fairy godmother because just like with Cinderella..you appeared when I've officially

had enough and I feel like giving up"

“Don't talk like that, Lacey, please..just talk to me alright, what's happened?"

/ take a deep inhale in and slowly release it before explaining everything that's happened to Abby

The more I explained it, the more upset I got and / was sobbing like a little girl who thinks her world is ending because someone has broken

her favourite toy, except in this scenario, I'm the broken toy who my family seem hellbent on destroying for whatever reason

“Oh baby, don't cry, please don't cry..what can! do? how can! make this better for you?"

/ take another breath in before saying something that I never ever thought I'd say in my life

“want you to get me a restraining order against my family"
