Chapter 20

Xavier was sitting next to me across from my grandparents.

"We're so relieved you're alright," Giovanni smiled as he reached over and grasped one of my hands.

"Yes, your grandfather and I spared no expense." Farrah added. "We were so worried. We'd only just found you and here we were afraid you were gone from our lives again."

I nodded. "Yeah, needless to say, it wasn't pleasant." I bit out. "I'm just glad to be back again."

Xavier placed his hand on my thigh under the table. "Juliet has some questions for you." Xavier offered.

"What is it, my dear?" Gionvanni asked.

He looked sincere enough, but part of me didn't fully trust them. I figured I'd start at the beginning. "Farrah, when we met up in Paris, you were asking me about Chase. I want to know why."

Farrah looked taken aback and Giovanni's face held surprise. "Farrah, you didn't!"

"I want to know why. And I want to know why you told her not to tell me about it."

"I used to financially support Senator Evans, as I'm sure you know." Giovanni started. "I supported him for two reasons, one was simply business, but the other had a great deal to do with you. While you were dating Chase, it was a way to know more about you. Senator Evans kept us updated on how you and your mother were doing. Something I valued very highly. Once his son harmed you, that funding abruptly stopped. That son of a bitch shot you. I won't support his father and his corrupt political campaign." Giovanni spat. "I told Farrah to let it go because I assumed it would upset you."

"Fair enough. Farrah?"

"Well, I know sometimes girls exaggerate things." Farrah started. I raised an eyebrow now feeling annoyed and angry. "I just wanted to know what he really did."

"Why?"

"I only have part of the picture. I want to know what happened."

"It doesn't matter. I have no intention of talking about it. Have I made myself clear?" I growled. Giovanni I believed. There was something Farrah wasn't telling me and it was pissing me off.

Xavier wrapped his arm around my shoulder. "Are you alright?" he whispered in my ear. I nodded.
"Juliet, why do you think I was asking?"

I stared into her eyes. "Farrah, point blank, I want to trust you, but I don't."

She looked taken aback. "Why wouldn't you?"

"I get that you made a mistake with Mom, but something isn't adding up here."

"Giovanni, Farrah, excuse us for just a moment." Xavier cut in as he grabbed my hand and led me away. "Juliet, while I agree with you, don't make any accusations."

"Are you kidding me?"

"No, I'm not. Listen to me," Xavier waited until I was staring into his eyes to continue. "If they do have answers, you don't want to scare them away."

"What's your gut telling you?"

"I respect Giovanni. I think he's been nothing but honest. I trust him."

"And Farrah?"

"I'm researching."

"So you feel the same way I do about it?"
