Chapter 8
I was about to ask him why he’s in my room but he cut me off.
I smiled and was ready to say that it’s nothing serious but Toper
didn’t let me say anything.
“Aren’t you going to answer my question, Pree? I’m asking how you
got sore muscles,” he chimed.
With that, Oxus widened his eyes and immediately hold both of my
shoulders, causing me to flinch and scream in pain.
I froze.
The photo showed Aunt Lyn beating me. This was when I
unintentionally made her coffee sweeter than usual. Several
photos were shown to me, and I was about to grab them when Oxus
grabbed them first.
Oh no.
“Tell us, Pree. Why did mom beat you? And who the hell captured
this?” Oxus asked.
“So mom really did this to you. The hell,” Oxus claimed.
“Why did you say you deserved it? Why, Pree? What did you do to
have that punishment?” Toper asked.
Stupid Pree!
Oxus grabbed the photos inside the envelope and looked at them
fiercely. He crumpled some of the photos and started walking past
me.
I’m doomed if Aunt Lyn will know that Toper and Oxus had seen the
photos!
“Stop, Oxus! I’m begging you, please don’t try to take the
matters unto your hands!” I told him while using all my strength
to stop him from making any step further.
“Don’t take matters into my hands? Are you kidding me, Pree?”
Oxus answered, looking at me side-eyed. “We wanted to know what
exactly happened in this photo but you didn’t want to tell us.
Why do you think I wouldn’t take this matter?” he added.
“Don’t make me laugh with your lame excuse. Let me go or else I’d
be forced to make you release me,” Oxus warned.
He was smirking but his eyes looked like he’s about to kill
someone. His aura screams danger by the time I looked at him. His
was no different from Oxus’ aura right now.
Their auras both scream danger and this is the scariest day of my
life.
