Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess

Shay sat in the car, the sound of her ringtone cutting through the silence. It was Oliver calling, and a smile immediately danced across her lips. She couldn't wait to answer, but before she could even speak, Oliver's voice came through, icy and piercing. "Who gave you the nerve to go looking for Josie?!"

The smile vanished from Shay's face as if wiped away by a shadow.

"My guys are watching Josie, and they saw you. What the hell were you doing there, Shay?" Oliver berated her.

Shay clutched her phone, her expression going rigid and her voice dropping low, "Oliver, I just wanted her to talk some sense into you. We're all family, so let's not make things so tense, okay?"

"Family? Who's your family? What makes you think you're worthy of being my family?"

Hearing this, Shay's face turned ashen.

Oliver continued, "Whether it's you or your Mom, if you disturb Josie, you'll bear the consequences."

The call ended abruptly. Shay, frantic, tried to call him back, desperate to explain. When the call wouldn't go through, she realized she'd been blocked.

Shay felt like she had been struck by a thunderbolt, her spirit deflated, her heart in agony. Was Oliver really so afraid of losing Josefina that he had to have her guarded?
