Chapter 41

The couch was cold. Isabella was curled up all night, crying silently.

Eventually, her head was woozy. Going all day without eating eventually had

seized her pain receptors, and it would squeeze them from time to time.

torment that was coming at her made her think she would die. Fortunately,

Seth didn’t do anything after that, or she might actually drop dead right in

fell forth from her dry eyes. She laughed at herself. Man, I’m strong. I can’t
