The loud sound resonated the air, the force of it made her topple over as she crashed against the huge table in the process .

A hiss of pain escaped her mouth.

"Foolish girl!What do you know!Absolutely nothing!"

"We both know you made a mistake by taking her!You are going to get the both of us killed!"

The sound of bone crunching was sickening, it made my stomach roll with repulsion..

"Every one present at the scene has been killed, you only need to behave!I have great plans for them "

His words were like a heavy gust of wind, bursting my adrenaline open.

Them?

As in me and Hazel?

He straightened up, although I couldn't see his expression, I couldn't imagine the hateful look he wore as he stared down at her.

"If anything goes wrong because of you, i'll fucking kill you!Then you'll go to your whore of a mother, is that clear!"

"Yes father " she replied meekly

For a moment her gaze skipped to the window , catching sight of me, my heart pounded frantically against my chest.

I took a step backwards slowly.

Then another..

For some strange reason, I didn't feel as if she would expose me.I mean, why would she allow herself to be hit twice while trying to speak up for me?

"Are you leaving?I do not think you've watched long enough, he spoke turning around swiftly to face me.

He knew!

He had been aware of my presence from the very beginning.

I stood rooted to my spot as he slowly walked out from the shadows, giving me a full view of his face.

Now I could see clearly the evil smile on his face.

I did the only thing I could.

I ran.

Chapter SEVENTY FOUR

GRACIE

I ran blindly, my heart pounded frantically against my ribcage, my veins surged with adrenaline mixed with fear , I couldn't really see each turn I made around the mansion, it was dark, where were the lights?, I needed to Hazel and get out of this place..

I couldn't imagine the trauma she must be in now, if she was scared, if right now she was crying for me or Hayden.
