"You do not like honey water?" "It's not that I don't like it; it's just that I do not want to drink it.""But you are drunk." "Not anymore," she whispered, closing her eyes and shaking her head as if that was supposed to prove something to him. "I am definitely not drunk," she added and he made a sound.He walked to her and then held her hand tightly by her wrist, so tightly that she could not wiggle her way out of it, so she just gave up. "Take this," he said, pushing the cup into her hand. "What are you doing?" "Drink this," he said. She knew that expression all too well; that was the same one that her mother carried. It was simple and all it meant was don't argue with me. She wanted to protest but to what end? She knew that she would still drink the water so why did she need to stall?"I am not drinking this because you said so," she murmured, taking the cup to her mouth; the liquid filled her mouth as she drank it. "Happy now?" she murmured, dropping the cup on the table. Sil

"Are you not going to say anything?" Lila asked when they sat in silence for a long time. She had said she was not asking him for a response but it would feel good to hear what he had to say.She did not know what his reaction was going to be but she had braced herself for anything. She was not going to deceive herself and it did not hurt but one thing she was going to try and live with was the fact that she could not control him or his reaction. "Is that the way you feel?" "Yes, and I know it is wrong but...""What makes it wrong?" he asked, cutting her squeaky voice. Her voice was already betraying her and showing that she was afraid and wanted to sneak away. "What?" "What makes your feelings wrong?" "I mean, if I had not killed Amber, then you would be in a very loving relationship with her now but since she died because of me, it feels like I am taking candy from a baby," she replied with her head bent down as she stared at her legs crossed underneath her. She did not know h

"Are you leaving?" Damien's voice startled her a bit. She stopped slowly and turned to him with a fake smile on her face. She thought he had gone upstairs but he was standing there with his back to the wall and his face to the wall ahead of him. He turned his head in her direction. He had only gotten one end of the conversation so he could not tell what it was that they had discussed. "Gavin called me to come and testify so they do not get him arrested." "And you are on your way to testify?" Damien's jaws squared as he felt anger surge through his blood. His mouth felt a little bit bitter and he did not know how he was supposed to rectify that."I want to call my mom first to hear what she has to say." Damien put one foot in front of the other and slowly closed the gap between them. With each step he took, she felt her stomach fall; she wanted to escape by any means possible because she was not sure if she would be able to control herself if he stood in front of her. "Do you have

"Officer, can I ask you to do something for me?" Tessa asked as they sat in the room. "Yes, ma'am," the man replied with a huge grin on his face. When she walked in with her mom, she felt a kind of suffocation from being there. The station that Gavin was in seemed to be better than the one she was taken to. This seemed to be a place for people who had some kind of connection with wealth. The officers had given her and her mother some kind of preferential treatment and Lila still could not get over how different things were when things like this happened. "One Mr. Gavin Holt was brought in today, right?" Tessa continued. The man frowned because he thought that Tessa was about to ask for his release; the man did not want to be caught in the crossfire. Mr. Voss had been the one to bring him in and he would not like to release the man without Kevin's approval. Kevin had promised to come with evidence to get him locked away for a long time. If Tessa asked him to release him, then he wo

Lila stared at the ceiling with fear gripping her heart; she did not know why but it felt as if something was about to happen to her. Something big, something they could not ignore and she was determined to stop it by all means necessary. When she had told Gavin she needed to take Jason with her at least so he was not scared while he stayed in jail for forty-eight hours, he had not complained because there was nothing he could do. All of his pride was dependent on Lila and he had to just do what she wanted, at least for now. As soon as they sign the marriage paper and he has her under his thumb, he is going to do all he wants to do. Her phone began ringing by her side and she froze when she saw Damien's name across the screen. She bit her lips hard as she watched it ring and stop before it began again. She didn't know how long Damien would go on if she did not pick up the phone and it was too late in the night to find that out. She slid across the phone screen and pressed it to her
