JessamineWords fail me, but my hands do not. With a sudden rush of strength and rage, enflamed by the lack of remorse for ruining my parents lives and Kier's, the pride shinning in her eyes. The heel of my palm slams into her throat, and I push all of my strength into making her fall.But it makes no difference, because her men have me again, holding me back from her as she clutches her neck, gasping and coughing. She staggers back, her face flush with fear, and I snarl, thrashing against her men, "Come a little closer, Renae, if you fucking dare!" Renae laughs, but her voice wavers. "You should have remained in the kitchens with the rest of the maids. Killing mother and daughter feels heavy, even for me, but I shall seek the Goddess's forgiveness later." Her gaze lifts to the space above my head. "Make it swift, nothing messy. Do it in the grove and do not forget the letters." To me, she adds with a smile that's pure acid, "You won't be alone for long, not to worry."Finge
