“My tummy is already showing, and it’s only been a few days,” I whisper. “How long will the baggy clothes be able to hide it?”

“I’m not sure,” Caroline whispers back.

We were trying to be as quiet as possible; we didn’t need anyone hearing this and reporting it to my birth mother.

I missed Dante every single day that went by. I knew I did the right thing by leaving, but that didn’t make it easier. I wanted to see him, but even if I decided that I wanted to go back, there was no way that my birth mother would let me leave this place. I was trapped here for a long time.

They were convinced that Cassius was waiting for the right time to attack. I didn’t even know what this man looked like. There were no pictures of him; I don’t think they had even seen him. They just knew that he was waiting to kill us.

I sighed as my thoughts went straight back to Dante.

He was probably happy now that I was gone. He would be able to live his life more peacefully. He would no longer have to worry about hurting my feelings.

This is what I wanted. It’s why I left so that he could be happy again.

I push thoughts of him out of my head. I started thinking about Cassius and how we would defeat him without harming Clarissa and Autumn.

I’ve been training for a few days now, and I haven’t seen much improvement. I was nowhere close to my sisters and their advancement.

I notice a few of the women looking at something on their phones. They were all glued to the screen like it was something important.

“What’s happening there?” I ask Winter. “What are they looking at?”

She looks over at them. “I’m not sure. I’ll go see.”
