Gemma Metcalfe - Trust Me - A gripping debut psychological thriller with a shocking twist!

But of course I do look… and my life changes for ever.

‘Liam, are you still there?’

Opening my eyes, I stutter as I try to reply, unsure of how to respond. But Lana is talking about the present… isn’t she? Only I am trapped in the past.

‘Yes… Jessica.’ Her name feels like poison on my tongue.

‘Children?’ she continues, oblivious to the images that are now scratching around inside my head. ‘What about children?’

I think about little Elliott, out for the count in his bed, unaware of just how much I love him. I briefly consider mentioning my stepdaughter, Amy, eighteen and a mini version of her mother. What about the others? Should I mention them?

‘Just one,’ I finally say. ‘Elliott. He’s the sweetest boy you could ever wish to meet.’

‘I have a daughter,’ she responds. ‘Her name is Amber and, likewise, she’s the sweetest, funniest girl you’d ever wish to meet.’ She laughs a little and then sighs and I briefly hear her sniff up, as if tears may be forming. I suddenly feel incredibly sick.

‘I need to go, Lana. I’m sorry.’

‘I just want to understand.’

She sounds sincere, genuinely interested. Maybe I could tell her? It’s not like it’s going to matter much. In approximately half an hour, I will have passed out; an hour tops and I’ll be dead. Perhaps I could tell her. So at least one person in this whole world knows the truth…

The real truth.
