Chapter 16

Margaret’s brain blanked from Raven hit.

A few seconds passed. She blinked, foggy, her sight slowly clearing.

Fear slipped into her eyes as she looked at Raven, a knot tightening in her stomach.

She got it now–crystal clear.

This Raven wasn’t the same pushover she could shove around five years back.

Still, she clenched her jaw, pigheaded. “No way I’m letting Raven walk all over us.”

She smartened up, turning to Jonah instead of prodding Raven again.

She tried harder to make her words clear, as she had no tooth now.

Her voice stretched tight as she pressed, “Sir, she’s just some stray we took in–garbage like her doesn’t deserve you! We’ve got plenty of ladies in the Henderson family. Check them out.”

Panic crept into her tone. “Check them out, alright?”

Miranda pounced on Margaret’s signal.

her eyes sparking. “General Yardley, I’ve been into you since the moment I saw you!”

She leaned closer, voice soft and begging. “I’m not here to mess with Raven or ask for much. Just let me stick by you–keep a little corner in your heart for me, that’s all I want.”

She nodded to herself, on board with Margaret.

She was sure Raven must’ve pulled some sketchy move to tie Jonah down–that was why he was doing all this for her.

A cocky thought flashed through her mind. ‘If he’d go for Raven, no way he’d skip over me!

Loretta picked up Miranda’s drift and jumped in quick, flashing Jonah a grin.

“General Yardley,” she said, “Miranda’s always had a thing for rugged military types. If you’re not busy, crash here tonight- her bed’s plenty big for two.”

Jonah’s brain fried.

He blinked fast, thrown.

His head reeled.

He mumbled under his breath, “What did they just say?”

These clowns actually thought Raven and him were having some filthy deals.

And Miranda just flat–out confessed to him in front of everybody? That was lunatic.

Her mom practically just invited him to join Miranda in bed.

They thought to themselves, The Hendersons‘ heads are in outer space.

Her voice quivered with fury. “Just because Raven claimed that? And you’re doing this for her?”
