Today...
"Kayla King."
The way my name reverberates in the room when he says it is like nothing I've heard before. Its lifeless, and yet there is no threat to it. Almost like hes trying to attempt kindness.
I startle when his knuckles caress my cold cheek. I've heard what this man is capable of. Why is he being so gentle with me? I don't know what force pushed me to follow what my dad asked of me tonight. Going to the NSC leaders house? Asking for a truce? Just because he fucked up and refused Nathans deal and we 're paying the consequences of having lost our town.
Or at least, I am.
There was a huge party when I showed up. A house full of NSC people who wanted nothing but to see me dead. The leader wasnt there, but his two daughters were. Emma and Billie Scott. And his stepson, Xi, was there too. I was in their driveway, turning around when he caught me.
