Chapter 5

Chad scoffs.

“Planning to take what you have? We gave you everything for over twenty years, you really think you can pay us back?”

I lower my head.

I don’t understand these people. They hate me, I’m not a Landry, why would they want me to leave?

I end up staying at the Landry home. My old bedroom is Brittany’s now.

I’m in the maid’s room, which I never set foot in before. I don’t complain, I go to sleep early.

Even in this soft bed, I have a nightmare. I’m in the hospital, I’m hurt.

Men rip my clothes off and laugh at me. I tell them my family will do something about this.

I tell them my fiancé will save me. But no one cares.

They say I’m not a Landry anymore. They say no one will save me.

They say I’m foolish.

Because the Landrys and Carter let this happen.

Once again, I wake up from a nightmare.

I’m so cold.
