Chapter 22

SWORN ENEMIES VALERIA Boss isnt going to like this at all .

What did you expect me to do ? Pick up that disgusting corpse or stay there waiting for the specter ?! This girls lucky her face is so messed up , even the specter didnt want her .

I could hear the conversation of what seemed to be two men My whole body felt drained , as if I had pushed beyond my physical limits .

I was confused , unable to fully recall what had happened .

Adele had tried to deceive me .

We fought .

That thing appeared , and then … ? I was lying across the back of one of my captors , being carried to an unknown location .

Even though I was awake , I kept my eyes shut , pretending to be unconscious just to hear more of their conversation Get her on the boat ! Suddenly , they threw me onto an old boat .

I realized I was being taken farther and farther from the King , so I began to fight back with everything I had .

So youre awake now ? Ah , you damn woman ! Whats going on ?! She bit me ! Youll pay for that , bitch ! The last thing I saw was a fist coming straight at my face .

The next time I woke up , I was sitting in a cold cell , my hands tied behind my back , chained to the damp stone wall .

One of my eyes was swollen shut , and nausea twisted my stomach , making me want to vomit .

The stench of mold and decay in the air only worsened my dizziness .

Shadows huddled in the corners other young women , trembling and crying , all of them terrified .

What had I gotten myself into this time ? And where exactly was I ? Soon , they came for me .

I heard footsteps echoing in the dark corridor outside the massive cell .
