Chapter 490: A Shitty Daughter
EMMA
~
I fucked up! I came here to get what Luther wanted. The plan was simple: grab Hayden however I could and somehow sneak out. Sneaking in was tricky—thanks to a spell from one of Vanessa’s grimoires I came across for concealing auras—but carrying an unconscious person was a failed plan waiting to happen.
I didn’t even think this through, all I knew was I didn’t want to lose my family again, Luther’s threats were no joke I know that much. The twisted look in his eyes spelled promises I did not wish to entertain.
Dace ruined my fucked up plan, I didn’t expect him to be back at the mansion so soon, doing this without him being involved was perfect. However with him here I don’t know what might happen. He doesn’t look okay, his expression is unreadable, I’m still mad at him but not mad enough to pull off what I did, I knew I hurt him. I fucking hurt him!
Walking away from him was the hardest, it felt like I was tearing a part of my soul away, and the hollow feeling was unquestionable. But it’s better than him to find out what’s going on. Luther will do something drastic when Dace is involved.
I should have taken Hayden when I had the chance. There were so many opportunities but when I just stood there staring at Hayden’s unconscious form I didn’t have the heart to do it. I’m not an evil person who would trade an innocent life for my family. I need to think of another way to fight off Luther somehow.
"Emma?"
I halted at the last flight of stairs and gulped when I set my eyes on Emilia.
"What are you doing here, girl?"
"I-I-I..." I looked for an alternative but there wasn’t any. I remained flushed and confused hoping they would disappear and allow me to leave, but that’s too much to ask.
