Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess

The car usually went from the underground garage to the front entrance, but Hattie and Garrett would often opt for a stroll in the morning as a form of exercise. Today, Hattie had planned for the car to wait in the garage, but Lena said, "Mom, I thought you wanted to walk a bit more, so I asked the driver to meet us at the entrance. It's been ages since we chatted while walking. Come on, just keep me company for a bit. Ever since Josie came back, it feels like you don't love me anymore."

With a bright smile, Lena replied, "Okay, mom."

They chatted as they walked, making their way to the front entrance.

The car was parked a little farther away, and Lena, arm in arm with Hattie, approached it. As the driver got out to open the door for them, a rotund figure brandishing a knife charged at them. "Bitch, go to hell!"

The sharp blade aimed at Hattie, and Lena, clutching her mother, screamed, "Mom!"

Regina howled in pain. The intended blow Lena braced for never landed. Hattie, shocked and frozen, watched the scene unfold.
