Clentine:
"Okay then. Daddy, you will keep your promise. I don’t want to end up in the North," Vanessa warned him.
He nodded and gently placed his hand on top of her head, shaking it playfully.
"Well, that is what happens when you have a father," Sylvia comnted, turning slightly to mock .
"Now go ahead and enjoy your life. You are spared from the North," Lady Sylvia told Vanessa.
Vanessa shrieked happily, hugged her father, and ran out of the room.
Then it was just and them again. Of course, they were never going to send Vanessa to the North. Every ti she got scared, she could expose them to the world.
"Look at you. So sad and pathetic. You could have been the academy headmaster’s daughter-in-law, but no. So people just cannot handle fa and respect," Lady Sylvia mocked.
She was the sa woman I once thought was kind, just because she had asked not to transition in front of them once.
I was angry at myself for giving people so many chances even when the truth had been right in front of .
My vision began to blur, and I started coughing.
"What are we going to do with her?" I heard Roberto ask.
"Kill her. What else? Then we will throw her in the north and say she died there. No need to tell him what really happened to his daughter-in-law," Sylvia replied.
As she said that, I wondered if the headmaster had ever truly cared about his son enough to spare .
It did not matter now. I was already being hurt and prepared for death.
Still, I started to chuckle, even as my vision faded. I would not let them enjoy this mont.
"What are you laughing at, you freak?" Roberto grunted, stepping beside his sister and staring at .
"You thought it would be that easy to silence ?" I uttered, smiling.
"Is it not? Aren’t you at our feet?" Lady Sylvia asked, shrugging her shoulders.
"I am. But did you ever wonder where my mate is?" I replied.
The mont I said that, their smiles vanished.
"Or maybe turn on the television before you kill . My mate knows I was coming here," I added.
My vision blurred further, but in the last mont before my senses slipped away, I saw the panic on their faces.
I do not know what happened by the ti I passed out, but when I started to wake up, I found myself in restraints. It seed like I was in so kind of dungeon, or maybe a basent.
"Let go," I scread almost imdiately.
It felt as if I opened my eyes one mont and lost control the next. Then there was silence. I was the only one tied here, against a wall, like an animal. Even an animal deserves better than this. I noticed my clothes were intact, and there were no bruises on my body. But my biggest fear was whether they had injected anything into my body after I passed out.
"What did you do to ?" I yelled, feeling a little nauseous.
That was when the basent door finally opened, and I heard footsteps coming down the stairs. It was Lady Sylvia. However, compared to the last ti, she looked different. This ti she appeared angrier, as if sothing had happened after I passed out. I could already tell what it was. I rembered my last words to them, so I assud the actions had been taken by Ian, which explained her sour mood.
She stopped in front of and examined , one hand gripping her opposite elbow in front of her body. Her glare was judgntal.
"Do you have any idea what you two have done?" she remarked bitterly.
The clenching of her jaw did not go unnoticed.
"Seems like you figured it out," I replied with a smirk on my lips.
"And you think that will save you?" she challenged.
"You think that would be enough to scare us?" she continued before laughing to herself.
"Do you know what will happen now, Clentine?" she added, glancing down at her nails and checking them for dirt.
"Now you two will be punished for everything that is happening around the world," she told .
That was all she said, and I began to wonder what was really happening. Were people truly taking action against it?
But then my attention shifted to Ian. What did she an by us two? How could she punish him? He was out and about, and she would have nothing against him to punish him. There was no rule that said he could not expose the academy. Even if there was, I thought it would be nullified by now.
"Where is Ian?" I demanded.
"You do not need to worry about him. Trust . You should be asking what I have planned for you," she replied very softly, and that was what caused to worry.
Everything was clear now. She was definitely looking forward to trouble, and I had expected that. Their entire livelihood, if you could call it that, had been ruined.
"Whatever you do, you cannot break ," I told her calmly, not panicking, even though deep down I was worried.
"Really, I like the confidence. No wonder you have such high bidders," she remarked.
The mont she said that, my ears perked up.
"What do you an by that?" I questioned her.
The mont a hint of fear showed on my face, she began to chuckle and laugh.
"Well, since you ruined our business and we will go bankrupt because of it, how about we sell the items that are no longer going to be sold?" she suggested, speaking with a double aning.
That was enough for to realize the item she ant was none other than .
"No, I will never let that happen. If you do that, people will question you. Ian knows I was headed toward you last ti," I started, but she raised her hand to silence .
"Oh please, that was hours ago. Who knows what could have happened to you on the way to us? I an, none of us really saw you. There is no witness. Even if there are, they are on our side," she finished, causing my eyes to widen.
Then she looked up and pointed toward the stairs.
"It seems your buyers are here. I will go and greet them. I cannot make them wait too long," she added with a snicker before turning around and heading up the stairs.
That was when I began to fight against the chains around . They were such cowards that they had to give wolfsbane to keep under control.
