Beneath The Mask
“What… happened?”
Ghost exhales sharply, his grip on me tightening like he’s afraid I’ll disappear if he lets go. “Your fucking father,” he snarls, his voice shaking. “He poisoned you.”
The words hit me like a punch to the gut, but they make sense. The slow, creeping sickness, the way my body feels like it’s tearing itself apart from the inside. The whiskey. It wasn’t whiskey. I should have fucking known.
Ghost shifts closer, one hand pressing against my chest, keeping me steady. “You need to stay awake,” he demands, his voice raw, his thumb brushing against my cheek. “Marissa gave you something to stop it, but you need to stay with me.”
