Chapter 7

The second I finish speaking, the entire area goes silent.

Harrison’s face darkens, his hand shaking on his cane, but he can’t find words to make me stay.

Dominic’s expression freezes completely.

‘Avery. Don’t push it.” He finally snaps, his voice tight with rage.

I already apologize. What the hell more do you want?!”

I glance at him, voice still calm.

You don’t apologize–you’re just scared of prison.”

I’m rejecting you because I finally see who you really are.”

Dominic opens his mouth to argue-

Harrison’s face goes ghost white and he yells. “SHUT UP!”
