Mystery Bride's Revenge (Selina)

Whack! A slap thundered in the room, and Selina Harvey crashed to the ground. Her dad, Quinton Harvey, towered over her, fuming. "Selina, you snake! How could you drug Ashley and leave her in some guy's bed? She'd be toast if we hadn't found her in time!"

Selina, weak and frail, protested, "No... Dad, it wasn't me. I swear!"

"Shut up!" Quinton kicked her hard in the belly, and she threw up, making the whole room stink.

He loomed over her, his eyes filled with rage. "If anything happens to Ashley, you're done!"

But then Quinton's wife, Sara Harvey, called out panicked, "Honey, forget her. We need to get to the hospital. Ashley needs us!"

"Coming!" responded Quinton.

They left, slamming the door shut. Selina lay curled up on the cold floor, shaking and foaming at the mouth, whispering, "I didn't do it. I didn't hurt Ashley..."

Shivering, pain stabbing through her, she passed out.

Time dragged on. In her sleep, Selina was suddenly jerked awake by a yank on her hair. She opened her eyes to see Quinton glaring at her. She struggled, pain in her voice. "Dad! Stop it! It hurts..."

You think this is pain? Your sister's fighting for her life in intensive care because of you! You're a terrible daughter. Why did I even bother bringing you back?" Quinton yelled. He wouldn't listen to Selina; instead, he dragged her like she was a rag doll, past the servants' cold whispers,
