The Unjust Misrepresentation of Tara (Episode 3)

Written by Obi Difu @Obiokoroa4

Tale 3: The Thin Between Unanswered Question and a Lie

Tara’s face was cold, she had no expression on her face. Eka was remorseful and had her puppy face up, but she was sure it was not because of her regrets at the way she handled it but because Phil was there before her.
