Mrs. Eriksen heard the commotion and chimed in immediately. “The pills are with me. I’ll go take them now. Letty, calm down. I’ll bring them here now!”

“Shut up, Ashton!” I turned to Mrs. Eriksen and ordered, “Bring me the pills now!”

Furrowing his brows, he hugged me tightly to comfort me. “I wasn’t trying to control you. It’s bad to take too many sleeping pills. You might become dependent on it.”

“Shut the f*ck up! If you won’t let me sleep, send me to Marcus. Stop torturing me!”

“Scarlett!” His eyes reddened in anger. I was too stubborn and emotional, so he caved in. “Bring her the pills.”
