Uncovering Truth

Bradley's POV

Inhaling deeply, I sensed the weight of Mona and Alex's hopeful stares fixated on me. It seemed as though time had momentarily halted in anticipation for my response that would untangle our present predicament.

"Okay," I started, absentmindedly running my hand through my hair. "I guess it's time for me to give you both an explanation."

Mona leaned back in her chair, crossing her arms and maintaining eye contact with me while Alex mimicked her stance, displaying a mix of interest and worry on his expression.

I began, "Ava was the one who called. Her father holds a high position as CEO in our city. Our first encounter happened quite unexpectedly. Back when I found myself short on cash to settle my bar bill after assuming otherwise, Ava intervened and covered for me."
