Chapter 341

Elena

As I walked into the mansion, I immediately felt the tension in the air. It was just a gut feeling that something was about to happen, and I didn’t know why.

It wasn’t too crazy, considering I planned on telling Marvin the truth. Dad and I had a deal, and now it was my job to hold up the end of the bargain.

Despite his rant about liars, I had enough faith that he wouldn’t hurt me. Marvin couldn’t. Right?

“Where have you been?” Marvin asked, his tone cold and threatening. “Or, no-wait. Let’s not play this game.” He shook his head, pointing out his finger. “Why did you not want me to meet your family?”
