Twisted Fates
A voice suddenly asked from the living room.
At the sound of the voice, Clarissa's mood instantly dampened into seething annoyance.
"Hello, Mother," Clarissa greets dryly, taking off her boots and coat. She walked into the living room to find her mother, sitting on the couch, staring blankly at her.
Tessa Monroe was a beautiful redhead with light brown eyes. Even at the age of fifty-four, she could easily pass as Clarissa's sister.
Clarissa inherited her mother's long red hair but her blue eyes were from her father. Staring into Tessa's face felt like staring at a slightly older version of herself yet Clarissa couldn't see the resemblance.
