The words came out sharper than I expected. They sounded hard and empty in my ears, like something I’d learned to say when I had nothing left to lose. I never imagined I would speak like that. But since Sebastian jumped off the bridge, everything that used to make me soft had been stripped away.

There wasn’t room for niceties anymore. The only things keeping me moving now were Sebastian waking up, Hades standing with me, and my revenge. I didn’t care that I was changing, none of these people had cared when I’d been kind.

They all froze. The room went so quiet you could hear a pin drop. My aunt stared at me like I’d morphed into someone she didn’t know, while Riley began biting her nails, eyes flicking between hatred and fear. The idea that I had power now made her entire face ache.

One of the women finally broke the silence. “K-knee? You want us to kneel? How could you tell us to-”

Robert dropped to his knees before she could finish. He didn’t need to be told twice. His forehead nearly touched the floor as he turned to me, desperate. “M-miss… madam…please, forgive me. I swear I had no idea what was going on. If I’d known who these bitches were messing with, I wouldn’t have even come here in the first place. Forgive me, please. I don’t care what you

do to these brainless women, but let me go.”

The women’s faces burned red with every word spilling from his mouth, but Robert didn’t care. He ran a hand through his hair.

Silas looked at me then, as if waiting for my decision.

I looked down at Robert. “I have a question.”

His head bobbed eagerly. “A question? You can ask as many as you want, ma’am. I’ll do anything. I’ll even tell you the name of my mistress if you ask.”

My gaze shifted to the women. “Tell me what happened that day. What did their kids do to my brother? You must know, you are their lawyer.”

The women snapped their heads toward Robert. One of them hissed. “Robert! Don’t you dare say a word. Our husbands still hold power. Do you really think they’ll let you walk free if you open your mouth? Think carefully, would you rather face one man, or five powerful men at once?”

Robert gave a harsh scoff, a mocking laugh spilling out. “You think your pathetic husbands frighten me? I’d rather face all five of them than deal with the monsters standing right here.”

He dragged himself closer to me, fumbling into his pocket. With trembling fingers pulled his phone from his pocket, and unlocked it.

“It’s all here,” he said, holding the phone out. “I recorded their statements, ma’am.”

The women froze, faces draining of color as their gazes snapped to their lawyer. One of them shot up, finger trembling as she pointed at him. “You! How could you record us?!” She lunged, trying to snatch the phone from my hand, but Silas was already moving. He rose slowly, like a predator stretching after sleep, and stepped in front of her.

The woman stumbled to a halt, her bravado shrinking under the weight of his presence.

Silas slid a hand into his pocket, voice low and dangerous. “I don’t go looking for fights, but if anyone touches her, even a woman, I won’t think twice about using force.”

I looked at the phone, ignoring everyone else. The play icon glowed, and my hand clenched around the device. My heart thudded hard enough to hear it. I knew what was on the other side of that button. My head screamed not to open it, that

watching would make me irrational.

But if I couldn’t even watch this, how could I possibly carry out what I’d planned? No, Violet. You have to watch it.

I tapped play.

The image opened on five boys slouched on a couch, casual as if they were having a conversation. Robert’s voice came through the speakers. “So, boys, I’m your lawyer. You can trust me. If you don’t tell me the truth, I can’t defend you. What really happened that day in class? Did that boy fall on his own, or did you have something to do with it?”

The boys glanced at one another. After a pause, one of them said, “Fine. We’ll tell you the truth, but you can’t tell anyone.”

Robert smiled. “I swear on my life. It’s lawyer code, I don’t disclose client matters.”

“That day we were just playing a game with him. He should’ve been lucky we even talked to him, a poor kid like him has no friends.”

The others burst into laughter at his words.

“Right,” another said. “Poor people don’t have class. They’re ungrateful.”

The first boy went on. “I heard he paid for the trip, it cost thousands. There’s no way he could’ve afforded that. I told him his sister probably paid for it by sleeping with some old man. The psycho flipped out. He became a demon and started beating

me.”

One of the boys shrugged. “We couldn’t just stand there and watch him beat our friend. We dragged him off and finished him. Guess we went too far, one kick and he went through the window.”
