Vanessa just keeps staring at me and parts her lips to speak, but it seems she can't find her words.

Disappointed in the bodyguards, I say, "Then what's the point of having bodyguards if-"

"I'm not finished," she cuts me off, her tone a little harsh. "There was a moment where I thought she was going to attack me with an object or whatever because she lowered her hand and in the pocket of her coat, but she chose not to do so. She said it was because she had something else that would hurt even more."

"And what was that?" I cross my arms.

Opening her eyes, she says, "She had something to say."

My heart instantly starts racing as I uncross my arms, my eyes going round a little in panic. Shit!
