Nina; The real me
I can help.
Marcus's mocking laughter filled the room again, and Nina's heart sank.
"Please, Mom, just trust me," Nina said, her voice breaking. "I can't talk right now, but I'll be fine."
"Alright, Nina," her mother said reluctantly. "But please, be safe. I love you."
"I love you too, Mom," Nina whispered, tears streaming down her face.
Marcus ended the call and threw the phone aside. "You think you can outsmart me, Nina? You think you can win this game?"
