Outside the house, Kali watched her brother and Jenna in silence. She didn't know why, but listening to Jenna made her remember the life before Rhane came to rescue her.
It was worse because it wasn't just young men that came for her but old ones too, as long as they could pay.
"Mm," Percy sniffled, rubbing his eyes. "My mistress..."
Kali opened her mouth to speak, but she felt a tear slip down her cheek. She hadn't realized she was crying until now. Wiping it off quickly, she cleared her throat.
"Don't be so soft," Kali sucked her teeth. "It'll be alright." She hit Percy's shoulder in an attempt to console him.
When Rhane stepped out of the house carrying Jenna, with his jacket wrapped around her body, Kali ran forward to meet them halfway.
"What are we going to do next?" she asked, ready to take command, knowing her brother no longer cared, because what he came for was in his arms, sleeping.
Rhane didn't break his gaze from Jenna's sleeping face. "Burn the place."
