Diana couldn't deny it. everything Jacob said made sense.
It was like his words cracked open her mind, just a little.
Right now, the only way she'd ever escape was through some kind of miracle. And that was it. Just a miracle.
But this... this was an opportunity.
She had to let go of her pride for once and take it.
She knew worse things were coming.
Nights that would make the last one look easy.
But what choice did she have?
Her whole life, she'd been forced to accept what was thrown at her.
Losing her parents.
Having no decent family... barely any real friends.
Working in some restaurant out of desperation.
And now this.
She had no choice this time either.
Once again, she had to surrender to whatever fate had written for her.
She looked at Jacob, then nodded.
_"Alright... blue eyes.?
She stared at his eyes, trying to catch the shade, but couldn't quite tell.
-"Blue, green, whatever. I'll try not to get myself killed."
They both laughed softly.
Just then, the door flew open.
Matthew stepped in, frowning, his gaze fixed on them.
+"you're still alive huh!"
he said with a smug grin aimed at Diana.
She opened her mouth to respond, but Jacob kicked her lightly under the table.
So she said nothing and quietly sipped her juice. sneaking a glance at Matthew's robe.
Matthew growled at Jacob.
+"Get up. We've got a mountain of shit to do and you're in here playing with dolls?"
_"Sorry, sir,"
Jacob replied quickly.
Diana choked on her juice at the word sir and started coughing.
Matthew gave them both a look of disgust, shook his head, and slammed the door behind him.
