I hit the glass again, harder this time. “Open this damn thing and come face me! I’ll kill you, you lying piece of—”She tilted her head back. “Oh, I thought it was. If I had known it wasn’t, I would have gotten something good for you on my way here. Poor you.”“Hey, just come in here and let’s see if you can still run your mouth without your big bodyguards with you! I dare you to come here, you bitch!”“Enough!” one of the guards barked. “Unless you want to be dragged back to your cell, step away from the glass.”I gritted my teeth, my breath heavy with rage but I didn’t want to give the bitch the satisfaction of watching me get thrown out like some wild animal. So I took a step back and inhaled deeply, then turned around, shaking my head.“I don’t have time for this,” I muttered. “I don’t even want to see her face again. Next time she comes, decline her visit. But I’m sure I’ll be out by then.”I was about to leave for my cell when her voice stopped me.“Do you really think you’re g

The sickening sound of flesh hitting flesh filled the air, each impact sending a violent shudder through my body and It felt like I was the one being hit. Like every punch Lance threw landed directly on me instead.A strangled sob crawled up my throat, but I clamped a trembling hand over my mouth.Don’t make a sound, Mia.Don’t let them hear you.I kept repeating the words in my head, willing myself to disappear—to pretend like I didn't see anything or hear anything. But then I heard it again.Paul’s groan.It was now low and weak. Like he would lose his life any time soon.But I can't take it anymore. I can't bear to lose him and before I could stop myself—my legs moved on their own, dragging me out of my hiding place.I could see Lance’s arm raised mid-swing, his fist ready to slam into my brother again and just before then,“Stop! Stop, please!”I threw myself between them, squeezing my eyes shut as I braced myself for the hit.I waited for the sharp sting that would knock me off b

~~~MAYA'S POV~~~Feeling on top of the world, I spun around the room, holding Betsy's hands. My hair whipped around as we both let go of one hand while the other was still intact.“Wooow!” I shouted out.Feeling that I needed more energy, I slowly began to reduce my speed of swirling around until Betsy and I balanced. Then I snapped my fingers at one of the bartenders, who immediately handed me another glass. After gulping it down, I returned the glass back on the tray which he was holding and then turned back to Betsy. “Let's continue,” I said, holding her hand again.We continued to dance again but as I moved around, I suddenly noticed that I didn't see Lance anywhere.I couldn’t even see someone that looked much like him around here.I stopped dancing and glanced over at the bar but he wasn't there either.“Where is he?” I asked no one in particular, scanning the room.As I couldn’t find him anywhere, I leaned closer to Betsy and told her that I needed to find Lance before beginni

Maya…” she dragged my name, and my stomach twisted a little as if I was scared of what she wanted to say. “Did you… taste this before serving it?”I blinked at her, not once but more than three times as I tried to remember if I did taste the food or not.Taste it?Oh my God!I... I really didn't remember tasting any of it. I was just so caught up with finishing everything quickly and setting the table before they woke up that I didn’t even taste the food that I made.“I... is it that bad?” I stammered, my hands suddenly clammy.Everyone's eyes darted to me immediately, even though it was only Betsy who had taken a bite from the lasagna.Then Mia also picked up her fork and ate some of the lasagna, but her face suddenly twisted in horror, and she dropped the fork with a loud clank, picked a tissue, and spat it out. “ It seems somehow…I don't know, but maybe overcooked. And it's also very salty.”Turning to Bella, she added. “I don't think it will be a good idea if you try this out. How

“I thought…” she paused, sighing heavily. “I thought you might have decided to beg. To fall on your knees and grovel until they scrape off, telling me that you wish you never did that.”“If that is what you are here for… then I am sorry to disappoint you, sweetheart.”She scoffed. “What was I even expecting from someone like you? I must be stupid to think you could change so easily.”“It’s so good that you realize that you are. I'm—”“Why?” she asked, cutting me off. “Why did you do all this? To me. To my father. I thought we are all family, Sophia. So why?”I could see disappointment and pain in her eyes, as she waited for my response. But those sickly emotion of he, only her more irritating. she always tries to act innocent. I laughed, shaking my head as I took a slow step toward her.“Family,” I repeated. “You say that like it means something. Do you know what happens in the wild, Maya? Even the closest blood turns against each other when it comes to survival. Lions kill their own
