Enigma novel Chapter 24

I nodded and turned around to walk home.

“Hop on.” Steven said crouching in front of me.

I didn’t have any energy left to argue so I simply climbed on his back. He zoomed off immediately.

We were ganged in immediately by four people as soon as we crossed the threshold.

“What happened?” Hudson.

“What did you decide?” Lucas.

“What are we doing?” Hudson.

“Mom were you crying?” That was Aria.

I didn’t answer her. Looking at her made me want to cry again.

Archer was standing behind the three but close.

“We have a meeting at seven today. Everyone is going.” Steven answered as I tried not to cry.

“What do you mean by everyone?” Aria asked.

“Just what I said. Everyone.” Steven answered and steered me inside.

As soon as we enter our bedroom, I broke down again. My daughter’s fate will be decided today. I just want to hide her some place safe. Why can’t anyone just let her live in peace?

A minute later a very naked Steven entered the room from the bathroom.

“Come on. I have prepared a bath. We still have two hours to go. Let’s relax a little before we have to face the hell.”

I was about to protest but he picked me up and entered the bathroom. He gently placed me on the counter and removed the dress off of my body.
