“Amelia has always been a rebel. She just does her own thing and never cares what my parents or brothers think. There’s no way she’s easy to control.”

Gianna sounded like she was comforting Diana. In truth, she was shading Amelia, trying to plant bad thoughts about her.

Diana’s expression twisted, clearly irritated. She snorted. “She thinks she’s so amazing that she looks down on everyone. Vincent isn’t any less than her.”

Seeing Diana take the bait, Gianna felt a rush of satisfaction. She kept pushing. “Exactly! Amelia is just way too full of herself.”

Then, acting like she’d had a brilliant idea, she leaned closer and whispered, “Diana, I actually know a way to make Amelia drop her attitude and totally obey Vincent.”

“What way?” Diana asked quickly.

“Just lock it in.”

Bentley tried to hide his disgust and nausea as he rushed her out the door.

At the hospital, several skin specialists examined her and took samples. They thought it might be an allergy and gave her medicine and creams.

But two days later, it didn’t get better–it got worse instead. Her skin broke out, itched, and

hurt.

Diana was so devastated that she felt like dying. She couldn’t face anyone and ended up going back to the hospital.

“This doesn’t look like a simple allergy. Your skin may have been exposed to something harmful, causing serious infection and damage,” the doctor said.
