Phoenix:
I didn't let the shock reflect on my face.
My hand tightened on the doorknob, "Oh. It's you."
She gave me a tight smile, but I had already guessed how uneasy she must be feeling.
The two-faced bitch!
She acted like she hadn't left me in the forest at all, as if some ghost had done it.
Her eyes were red and swollen, and her face was puffy like she had been crying for hours. But I didn't feel an ounce of sympathy. Not anymore.
"What are you doing here?" I asked coldly.
She took a shaky breath, "Phoenix…my baby… Asher… he … he needs healing."
Uh-huh. There it was.
That's why she was here.
Not because she regretted anything.
She was here for her personal gain.
I didn't say a word and turned around to walk inside. The good thing was, I didn't feel hurt anymore.
She followed me and gently shut the door behind her.
"So…" she spoke behind me, "Will you come?"
