Chapter 11: Her Apathetic Cruelty
Inez whipped her head and looked at the video that was playing on Tao’s laptop.
"You fucking—" She turned on her feet and marched towards Tao but before she could make a move on him, someone came hurtling down at her. The man knocked her on the floor and stepped right on her head before Inez could get back on her feet.
"How many times do I need to tell you, Inez?" Dominic questioned as if he was trying to make a stubborn and rebellious kid understand that one plus one meant two and not eleven. He pressed his foot down on her head, making her stay put. "You are not a member of this pack. You are nothing but a piece of trash that I have discarded; you have no right to curse my friends, much less talk to them with that haughty tone, do you understand?"
Inez gritted her teeth; she didn’t want to accept it. She didn’t want to bow her head but when pain shot through her temples, she gritted out, "I understand."
Only then did Dominic pull his feet away and smile at her.
"This is what I like about you, Inez. You are a wise girl, so don’t go around acting like an idiot."
Inez didn’t speak; she simply climbed to her feet and looked at the video that was still playing on the screen of the laptop. She clenched her fists, realising how much her pain soothed and amused these two men. However, she didn’t dare to act impulsively.
If it was her, she would have taken the risk. But this—this concerned Scar. Her sister, who had all the reasons to hate her but she didn’t.
"Amusing, isn’t it?" Tao remarked as if he was showing her some funny video. "I wonder what will be Scar’s reaction when she finds out that the entire pack has seen it?"
