NATASHA'S POVI knew I couldn't hide the fact that I had been suspended from school for long. Not even for a night. I couldn't lie to my parents like that and they would figure it out anyway.I locked myself in my room and pretended to be asleep when my siblings came back to avoid talking to them.I didn't come out until it was dinner time either. I tried to put on a smile and pretend like everything was okay and even laughed at Dad's jokes as usual and contributed to conversations as usual.But they noticed something was off. I couldn't pretend when it came to them.“What's going on, Nat? You locked yourself up in your room all day pretending to be asleep. What's wrong?”That was my mom. I smiled faintly as I tried to force another spoon into my mouth.“I'm fine, mom. I'm just a little under the weather. I'll be fine.” I said.I was only prolonging the inevitable. It was only a matter of time before I spilled about being suspended.“Are you sure? You look physically fine to me.” She

NATASHA'S POV I shut my eyes as tightly as I could and tried to feign sleep. I tried to remember if I snored, so I could add it in for effect but I couldn't.Hopefully, Mom would buy the act and leave. Did she figure out that it was all a ruse?

If she really believed I was asleep, she wouldn't make a show of telling me we had to talk tomorrow.She even said I wouldn't be able to get out of it. She would have walked away quietly after knocking and not getting a reply.I groaned into my pillow. This was bad!

NATASHA'S POVI couldn't concentrate the whole time Professor Cain was speaking. How could I?Just looking at him reminded me how he betrayed me to Sasha. And how everything happening and was about to happen was his fault.And I couldn't concentrate either because the moment Professor Cain left, Meredith's torture would continue and Sasha could arrive any moment now.Professor Cain already proved that he couldn't stand up to Sasha. He was afraid of her. Why he would be was a mystery to me. I mean, she had to have something on him, right? Why else would Professor Cain be afraid of Sasha just because she was his niece or the most powerful elite?Whatever it was, I didn't care. I just wished I hadn't been dragged into their family issues or whatever.If only I had known he had a connection to Sasha, I would have avoided him at all cost.Did he hide his connection with her on purpose? Was it because he had bad intentions or he knew if I knew, I would have kept my distance?None of that
