STELLA’S POV“For attempted murder, too.” My voice came out stronger than I had expected and felt.I stood, with my one hand slightly gripping the edge of my gown, the other resting weakly by my side. My head still throbbed faintly, and the bandage around it felt heavy, but I didn’t care.Beside me stood Mr. Graham's friend, Mr. Nico, who rescued me.Ms. Sophia’s eyes widened the moment she saw me. “Stella…?” her voice broke, as she ran to give me a tight hug. “Uh” I winced in pain.“Sorry. Sorry. What happened to you?”“A lot happened, ma'am. But I’m alive.”The relief on her face almost made me cry, but then my eyes shifted to Sharon and her lover.“You…” Sharon whispered, taking a step back. “You’re…”“Dead?” I finished for her quietly. “Is that what you thought?”Her lover's face hardened, but I saw the tension in his jaw.“You’re mistaken,” he said quickly. “We don’t know you.”I haven't even started talking, yet, he was already exposing himself.I let out a faint, tired laugh.
