Love The Way You Lie (Stripped #1) - Plot & Excerpts
The room is empty. No Candy, no Lola, no other girls. Just Ivan, sitting on my stool. He’s waiting for me. I can see that from the stillness of his body, the watchfulness despite his casual pose. He looks huge on that stool where I sit, huge next to the vanity I use. It’s a reminder of how much power he has—both physically and otherwise—and I’m guessing he planned for that. “Honor.” I flinch, and I’m not even sure why. No one else is here, but it hurts to hear him say my real name. I’m not really Honey—that’s just a facade. But I’m not Honor either, that locked-up girl back home. I’m someone else, someone without a name. “Is something wrong?” “Apparently.” He pauses, watching me. Like he wants me to confess. “Did you find something about my mother?” “I’m not sure why I’d be expected to hold up my agreement when you aren’t holding up yours.”
