Chapter 20: I Don’t Play With Their Hearts. They Come To Me

"Don't touch me. Your hands are dirty," she said, pointing her finger at me.

"But you can touch me?" I asked and chuckled, referring to the last time we were in the comfort room and she held my wrist.

"You were in the comfort room at that time. So, I knew you had just washed your hands."

"I always use alcohol." I wanted to massage my temples from the stress she was giving me just by having a conversation with her, but I didn't want her to misunderstand.

It wasn't that obvious, but I'm still thankful for the authority she gave me. Somehow, my life is peaceful because of it, and no one is bothering me. All they can give me right now are their deadly gazes.

"Alcohol will never be enough to clean the dirty life that you have, Sapphire." That's the last thing I heard from her before she left.

She was always busy, so I buried myself in studying.

I never cried, but the pain was unbearable at that time. Knowing that your mother wanted to manipulate you... it breaks my heart into two.

I haven't even asked Mom again how she knew Mason and Ash because we're still not on good terms.

But, if I can't ask my mother about it, should I ask Mason instead?

Right. I should.
