Shannon’s POV

I excused myself from the dinner table to tend to a spill on my dress. I could feel Dora’s eyes burning into my back as I walked away, her anger palpable even from a distance.

Ignoring her, I made my way to the restroom, the sound of my footsteps echoing in the empty corridor. Entering the restroom and closing the door behind me, I took a deep breath, trying to calm the racing of my heart.

I then turned on the tap and began to rinse the stain from my dress, the cool water soothing against my skin. But before I could finish, the door swung open and Dora stormed into the room, her expression dark with anger.

“What do you think you’re doing, Shannon?” she demanded.

I froze, caught off guard by her sudden appearance. “I-I’m just cleaning off a spill,” I stammered.

Dora’s eyes narrowed, her hands clenched into fists at her sides. “Don’t play dumb with me,” she spat, her voice dripping with contempt. “You’re always sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong.”

She came to me, asking for forgiveness.” I answered.Ellie’s brow furrowed in confusion. “Forgiveness? But after everything she’s done?

My suspicions were like shadows creeping over me, chilling me to the bone. But without solid proof, I felt like I was playing with smoke.I found Jules in his study, buried under a mountain of paperwork.

You’re letting your imagination run wild.”I shook my head, frustration bubbling inside me. “But Jules, I just need you to listen. I know something’s not right.”He looked at me with a mix of sympathy and exasperation. “Shannon, I understand you’re scared after everything that’s happened.

He is trying to pot against you and why won’t you believe me?” I inquired with a very stern countenance plastered on my face.“Oh please Shannon can you please just stop all of this drama? Why are you bothering yourself over something that you shouldn’t? I don’t know what is feeding you with lies but you know better than to believe everything you hear.” Jules snapped at me, walking back to his desk, and sunk into it without giving me any more regard.I knew he wasn’t going to believe me from the start but why? I’ve been on Mathew’s trial forever and it’s enough for me to know that he is planning on hurting Jules.But why won’t Jules listen? Why is he so certain that Mathew can’t do anything to him?

I blinked, trying to adjust to the harsh fluorescent light.“Jules!” A familiar sounding voice called out and I frowned as her face came into view.“Shannon,” I sat up a little too quickly and groaned out in absolute pain.“Hey Jules,” she smiled at me.“Don’t move too much. You have not yet healed up.” She said, her sweet voice wrapping around me like a blanket.“You’ve been released?” it was supposed to be an observation but it came out as a question. I was so happy to see her, I couldn’t believe I had won. At some point, I had completely blacked out but if she was here with me then I had won.“Thanks to you. I’m so sorry for what you had to go through for my sake.* She said, hugging me.I winced at the pain and she quickly let go of me as if I were some fragile glass.“No,” I protested at the absence of her warmth.
