Chapter 6

After Dulce was discharged from the hospital, I took her straight to my parents' place.

A week had passed.

Jeffery hadn't shown up.

He just wired some cash with a message: [Get Dulce something nice to eat.]

I looked at the transfer record and smiled.

He probably thought money could fix everything.

My phone rang.

It was him.

"Mollie Moss, come back today," he said.

His voice was cold and bossy, using my full name like I was a stranger.

"Let's talk," Jeffery said, his tone cold and commanding.

I stared out the window.

It was time to end things.
