LUCAS'S MANSION

Leila walked into the house with her bag and her jacket already opened. Today had been a hectic day for her at work, and Lucas was to busy to come pick her up.

She made her way towards the kitchen, opened the fridge and gulped down a bottle of cold water.

She trashed the can in the waste bin before walking out of the kitchen.

She proceeded to her room. She pushed the door open and walked in, her steps faltering. She threw her bag on the bed and sprinted towards the bathroom.

She needed a cold bath. She decided to use the bathtub instead of the shower. Thirty minutes later, she rinsed her body and stood up from the bathtub.

She wrapped a towel around her body, before making her way back to her room.

She put on a blue night dress with a robe.

As she stood in the mirror brushing her hair, her eyes moved down to her neck.

The scar from the knife was still visible. Her hands slowly reached for it and she caressed it carefully.

How could humans be so Ruthless? She thought.
