Giving Love Another Try

I had just finished my medicine and was about to rest when Beau's phone call interrupted me.

"Get to Nightmare Bar within half an hour," he asked.

I said, "I have a cold and I'm feeling a little unwell."

But he cut me off with a mocking laugh. "Don't pretend, Leila. You are disobedient, but I have many obedient people around me."

I knew he was trying to punish me.

Yesterday, I had used concealer to hide the tear mole at the corner of my eye, and he had been furious.

He threw me into the freezer and locked me up all night.
