Rin smiles cruelly. “I’ve heard some fucked up shit before, but she married her sister’s ex? And gave him a kid too, so their kids are half-brothers and first cousins?”

I nod. “It’d make sense.”

“But how does Jarrett factor in?”

“She must have slept with my father, Silas’ brother, to get back at him. I mean, he slept with and married her sister.”

“Payback.” She sits beside me, and the bed dips. “But wait, you leaked the tape, not Madame, so what was her plan? How was she going to let Silas know what she was doing? It’s not like she knew you’d be there with her son filming them.”

“I’ve been thinking about that… What if she was recording the act to share with him later? Maybe she hesitated, and I beat her to it?”

“Or maybe she was waiting for the perfect moment, like Christmas dinner with the Parrishs.”

“Except, she’s been estranged from Delphine and the Parrishs for over a decade. Why do you think Gant hasn’t noticed the resemblance between Silas and my father before?”

“So they didn’t meet at the estate?”

I shake my head. I hadn’t told Rin about my little barter with Silas or that we’d had a private run-in.

“But now that he’s reconnecting with Delphine, it’s only a matter of time before he meets his uncle too or sees a photo.”

“I know,” I say.

“All the more reason to hurry this along.”

“But it’s still just guesses, theories. Besides the car information, I don’t have any actual proof. I wonder if Jarett knew what Marisol was up to?”

“Why would it matter either way?”

I didn't tell Rin about Jarett’s new condition either, but lately, it’s been nagging at me. The more I think about it, the more I think Jarett’s regression is far more than a bad trip on a tampered drug. What if he was tortured for answers to the same questions that I have? And if that’s the case, there’s only one person who wants them as badly as I do, Bart Auclair.

But Harod had said he was with a blonde boy…

I shake my head. “I need to visit Jarett for more clarity. Gant and Bart think that he’s this secret baby’s father after all.”

Rin recoils. “You didn’t tell me that! So Gant thought you shared a sibling this whole time, and he’s still into you? I mean, that’s more fucked up than Aria and Etienne, because at least they don’t share blood.”

Aria.

I narrow my eyes. Sure, I’m not getting involved in whatever Rin has going on with Etienne, but I sure as hell didn’t want to hear her talk about Aria either.

“Even if that were the case, Gant and I still wouldn’t be related. We’d just be related to the sibling.”

“Semantics.” She tosses her still-damp hair. “But who is this brother?”

“If I knew, I damn sure wouldn’t tell you. But it doesn’t matter because I don’t. No one does. Gant’s trying to find him.”

Rin’s eyes light up. “Is that what he’s always sneaking off to do?”

My throat suddenly grows dry. “What do you mean, he’s been sneaking off?”

“Every night after he drugs you, he sneaks out for a few hours,” she says as casually as if telling me that it’s raining.

“He sneaks out?”

“You seem more concerned about that than the drugging part.”

“Because I already knew that.”
