The tears increased...got worse and soaked Percy's shoulder.
Each time Kali tried to stop, she remembered how she couldn't stand up for herself earlier and had been weak. The tears poured, stemming from the depth of her heart. From the darkness that raged a storm within her.
Kali hated that she had been weak in the face of her oppressors. She hated that she had almost cried in front of those men, she had stuttered. Shown fragility!
It was because she didn't expect to see those men anywhere near their estate. To see them suddenly at the start of her day. It's been years since she left her mother and all of her patrons. All her past life behind. Except someone had invited them into the estate knowing Rhane had traveled.
When Kali stopped crying, she wiped her eyes with Percy's shirt and exhaled. Taking two steps away from the young man.
"What are you doing here?" Kali asked with a cold voice, her eyes dead and blank.
