Revenge with My Undercover Cop Hubby

Chapter 107 They Killed Him

finished

In the dim corner of the city, where the shadows of towering buildings cast over cracked sidewalks, Kelly and Faye found shelter.

The narrow alley, tucked just beyond the demolition zone, was quiet enough to let them breathe, even if just for a moment. They couldn't stay long; the weight of time pressed down on them.

As long as they stayed hidden from Eric and Regina, Faye seemed almost peaceful. Maybe it was the freedom from kindergarten that brought a calmness she rarely showed.

When Kelly told her she didn't need to go to school, Faye's small face brightened with a relief that was palpable.

Kelly leaned against the cold window, watching Faye play with her mismatched toys. The clink of plastic pieces was the only sound, and for a while, Kelly let the silence settle. Finally, she broke it. "Why don't you like school?"

Faye barely looked up, her voice just above a whisper. They call me names. They say I'm a bestard. They say my mom's a mistress. They tease me, saying my mom and dad are bad to their parents."

Kelly's heart tightened. She could hear the hurt in Faye's voice, but she said nothing.

Instead, her gaze drifted back to the gray world outside

They couldn't stay here for long. Every passing minute was another risk.

Soon, Clarissa's people would be on their trail, hunting them down.

"We'll stay here tonight," Kelly said, her voice steady despite the weight of their situation. "For dinner, we'll have scrambled eggs with tomatoes."

Faye wrinkled her nose, her lips twisting in distaste. "I don't like eggs. I want asparagus with shrimp. Fresh shrimp."

Kelly met her gaze, her expression hardening. "Eat what I make or go hungry. It's your choice."

Faye pouted but said nothing.

Over time, she had learned to endure Kelly's tough love.
