Chapter 8. Mystery, Father

Love, what are you going to do about that animal?" 

Animal? How dare Lilith refer to me as one. 

"Mmm… What do you want to do?" Axel asked. 

"I want to humiliate her in public! Just like she did to me. That bitch ruined my reputation," my friend seethed with anger.

I chuckled, not a sympathetic chuckle, but one filled with pity for the poor creature. . "Oh…I did? But I thought it was already ruined long before I decided to perfect things."

As all eyes turned to me, I couldn't help laughing. 

Axel, always one for meddling, couldn't resist questioning my morning plans. "And where do you think you're going this early, Ashlyn?"

The audacity! I thought. Since when did he care about my whereabouts? With a raised eyebrow, I retorted, "Oh… Since when did you bother with my whereabouts? Last I checked, no one here gave a fig where I was. As for you humiliating me, Lilith… Well, a girl can dream, but that will never happen."
