Edward’s face darkened, his expression contorting into a death glare. “If anything happens to her, Taylor, you’ll pay for this!”

He took her in his arms and left.

I stood there, stunned.

He had sworn to love me forever back then—the same man who had bared his fangs at me because of Maddison.

The irony was agonizing.

When did it happen? When had he started falling for her? Why hadn’t I noticed?

Pain gripped me. It wasn’t until Cherry came into my room and asked if I was okay that I finally snapped out of it.

By noon, my phone rang.

Seeing it was from Cameron, I ended the call without picking it up.

A while later, it rang again. This time, it was from my father.

I started to wonder if Maddison had finally died. Hesitating for a moment, I answered.

Unfortunately, the first thing I heard was my father’s verbal abuse at a volume that could have made my ears bleed.

Not that it would change anything. They’d find a way to blame me anyway.
