Aubrey was only sixteen when she killed her violent ex, who beat her every time he was drunk. The girl did it to protect herself, but the young man's family held her accountable.
Luckily, Aubrey was still a minor, and she didn't do it on purpose because the act was for self-defense. And yet, the young man's family was still dissatisfied even though Aubrey was finally sentenced to three years in prison.
"I don't understand. If she already knew her boyfriend was a jerk, why didn't Aubrey leave him?"
"At that time, Aubrey had no one, and she could only rely on that person."
"Where's Kris? Aren't they twins?" demanded Roxy as if she was angry at someone.
"Why are you mad at me?" teased Declan even though he knew Roxy wasn't mad at him.
"..." Roxy pursed her lips tightly and flashed a gentle smile at Declan. "I'm not mad at you. You carry on."
