SUMMER.
“You all are so easy to trick,” Eloise said, her voice cutting through the room like a cold blade. “Ita actually pathetic. You think Summer is this fragile little flower, but you haven’t seen the thorns, have you?”
“Stop it!” I sobbed, burying my face further into Antoine’s chest. “Please, Eloise. Just go away. Haven’t you done enough to me? Look at my face! Look at what the men you ordered did to me?” I cried.
The tears were genuine this time around because I was actually panicking that there was some smoking gun she had that she was about to drop, and if she did, that was the end for the Lockwoods and me.
“Oh, I’m looking, Summer,” Eloise said, stepping closer. “Im looking at a girl who’s so desperate for attention that she will allow men to beat her up just to implicate her so–called sister.”
“You’re a devil. I curse the day I gave birth to you,” the mother said, tears streaming down her face. “I can’t believe I have given birth to a wicked person like you. You can’t even see the hurt you made your sister go through, and-”
“Thats enough, Lila. I don’t have any sisters, brothers, or even family at all.” Eloise interrupted her.
“Don’t you dare interrupt me while I’m talking to you, I’m still your mother-”
“Dont you dare finish that sentence, Lila. Do you want to call yourself my mother? Are you proud to call yourself my mother? I’m sure you can’t because you’ve been cruel to me.” Eloise said.
“Who gave you the right to call me by my name, I d—”
“Lila,” Eloise called again, just to get on mother’s nerves, and the next second, she was about to slap Eloise, but she didn’t even
shake or move.
“I dare you to slap me. Are you trying to slap the Queen of this Kingdom? Are you trying to spend the rest of your miserable life in the dungeons? Damon would mind creating a special dungeon just for you, you know.” Eloise said.
“You would lock your mother up in the dungeons for disciplining you?” Father asked.
“As I said, since it seems everybody has an ear problem, I don’t have any family, and she’s not my mother. I just came through her to this world, and that’s all it’ll ever be.”
“Thats enough,” Julian shouted, stepping toward her. “Leave. Now! Before I forget, you’re the Queen and throw you out myself,”
Eloise stopped and pulled out a small and sleek phone.
“Im going to leave, I’m leaving, but before I go, I think you all should hear this little bedtime story.”
She tapped the screen.
At first, there was just static. Then a voice erupted from the speakers, it was sharp and filled with the only type of venom that! used.
“Zeke sent you idiots, you’re supposed to kidnap Eloise! Not me! I’m the one who paid you. How are you this stupid? Argghhh!!”

My heart stopped immediately, and my blood turned to ice in my veins. That was my voice. That was precisely what I had screamed to the thugs two hours ago when they grabbed me in the warehouse, and I was trying to tell them that I was the wrong person.
“Your target is Eloiss, you idiots! You’re supposed to ruin her, strip her! Film it! And destroy her reputation so the King kicks her out of the palace.”
The recording cut off. I knew there was more, and I knew she cut it off to have an edge over me.
The living room went deadly silent, and I could feel Antoine’s body go stiff behind me. The warmth of his hand on my shoulder suddenly felt like hot iron. I didn’t dare move. I didn’t dare breathe.
“What….what was that?” Lila whispered, her eyes wide as she looked at me.
“Summer?” Antoine’s voice was low, and for the first time, it wasn’t filled with pity. It was filled with a cold and terrifying realisation. “Was that you?”
I scrambled to find my voice. My mind was racing a mile a minute. The only thing I could do this time around was deny it.
“No! No! That’s not me. She’s tricking all of you. She’s the Queen. She has people who fake voices. It’s that Al stuff. She’s trying to frame me because she hates me.”
I looked at Antoine, Julian, my father, and my mother,
