Pearl“What do you mean I can’t go?” I folded my arms around my middle in a defensive stance.“A lot is going on right now,” he was looking at me like he wanted me to drop the conversation. “I can’t be worrying about your safety, while I’m busy trying to juggle a dozen things at the same time.”“I get that… I really do. But I’ll be with Brian in the car. And if you want, the guard could come along.”“Pearl,” he exhaled tiredly. “I don’t wanna argue with you.”“I don’t wanna argue with you either… but it’s bound to happen if you won’t even consider what I’m trying to say to you.”“How are you going to explain having a guard with you?” he arched a brow. “If you arrive at archery camp with a guard, Patricia is going to get suspicious.”“You don’t really intend to continue keeping this a secret from her, do you?” I gave him an incredulous look. “Come on Harold. This is really important. She has to know about everything.”“I do intend to tell her, once she’s back home,” he added. “I guess

Pearl“So, what have I missed? Tell me everything!” Patricia jumped on her bed. She bounced off the mattress and giggled. I sat at her desk, smiling a smile that made my cheeks hurt.“A lot has happened,” I paused and tried to search for the right words. “But the thing is, your dad has asked to be the one to fill you in.”“Really?” she arched a brow. “Okay. Now I’m curious. Why don’t you just tell me?”“Because he wants to be the one to do it.” I grimaced. “So how was camp? I want to hear everything.”“It was great like I already mentioned.” Patricia spent the next half hour filling me in. There was a lot to talk about. “So, is Vicki still madly in love with my father?” she wiggled her brows suggestively. “You know, I was actually hoping you would set them up while I was gone, but then, I didn’t want to put you in an awkward position. That’s why I didn’t ask.”My heart skipped a beat at the mention of the conniving she-wolf. “Honestly, I’ve got no idea what’s been up between them,”

Pearl“Here,” Patricia handed me a glass of water, while I popped my pills. “Thanks,” I accepted it and took my medicine. We were both still in the kitchen. It was way too early to be heading on to bed. And there was something about being together in the kitchen that seemed less terrifying than being alone in bed. Cook had been in the kitchen during the whole debacle with Ethan but I had barely noticed until much later. She was quite shaken up by the whole ordeal and left shortly after Harold and Brian did. While Patricia and I sat together at the counter, we talked about her cousin. She asked me about the kidnapping as well.“It’s hard to wrap my head around the fact that cousin Ethan had kidnapped you,” she took a deep breath and let it out harshly. “I mean, I know he’s always had his issues with daddy, but I never thought he would drag anyone into it. It doesn’t make sense. Why would he drag you into his drama with daddy?”“You should wait for your dad to get back and have this

Pearl I returned to the bedroom with the sodas. Patricia and Vicki were still chatting about goddess knew what. They had a stack of nail polish bottles organized on the bed. This was looking like a mani-pedi night, complete with rom-coms and snacks. Patricia needed it, especially after the night she’d had. Now, if it was just the two of us, it wouldn’t have been a problem. But Vicki was here. The last thing I wanted was to suffer her presence for hours. I couldn’t do it. “I’m sorry,” I said to Patricia. She was in the middle of riffling through the movies on her laptop. “I don’t think I’ll be able to hangout with you guys tonight.”“Really? Why not?” she looked crestfallen by my words.“I feel sick to my stomach,” I told her. “Way more than usual. What I need is some sleep. Hopefully, I’ll feel better in the morning.”Hopefully, they would have gone off to bed by the time Harold got back home.“Aw. This sucks but it’s alright,” Patricia gave me a reassuring smile. “You should head

PearlI woke up feeling groggy. I hadn’t gotten much sleep. As I got out of bed, nausea rose in my belly. I raced out of the room to use the bathroom. After I emptied my stomach, I brushed my teeth and took a shower. I knocked on Patricia’s door before I went in. It was quiet in there and I expected to see her and Vicki still asleep. But the room was quiet. There was no one in there. The bed was already made. That was when I heard the sound of voices coming from downstairs. It sounded like my best friend and Harold. What were they talking about? Was it me?My heart rate picked up. Even if it was, there was nothing I could do to stop it. It was inevitable.I would go back to my bedroom to wait and see how things would pan out. Patricia would definitely be angry with me but hopefully, it wouldn’t be forever. I turned to head back to my room when I heard a crash. It was followed by an ear piercing scream. I bolted down the stairs. I raced through the hallway to the kitchen. I came
