She stood and came to me, her breasts bare, nipple pointing as she pushed the envelope across the table towards me. “Are you frightened, Miss Marlowe?”“I am not afraid.” I said but my voice shook as it betrayed my inner resolve that I tried so hard to muster.“Are you sure about that?” Derek chimed in. His smirk was as venomous as his so-called sister. “I said I am not scared!” I said as my fingers curled into fists. “It is just a document, Marlowe. Sign it and let everything be over.

"What's wrong with you?" he spat, his voice venomous.I swallowed hard, trying to speak, but my voice caught in my throat. I cleared it, trying again. "I-I was just coming to find you," I stuttered.Callum snorted, his expression disdainful. "Save it, Marlowe.
