Chapter 49

-Katherine-

Things had changed a lot since Silver’s miscarriage. I noticed the clear cracks between her and Acan. Something dark had settled between them. I couldn’t quite say what it was, and I felt bad for enjoying it a little. I was the reason why these cracks had appeared, and while I didn’t mind seeing the anger shimmering in their eyes as they looked at each other, I did feel bad for the unborn baby who had to pay the price. I had put the bracelet away, though. I had made sure no one had found it or that Silver was even looking for it. I had made it seem less valuable than it was, and she had thought there was no reason to look for it anymore. She had grown quite distant, though, not wanting to talk to many people and drinking more, which only made Acan draw further away from her. I had begun to spy a little on him, seeing if he might be meeting with any women behind Silver’s back, but so far I had found nothing. He and I, on the other hand, were spending lots of time together.
