"What have you done to me?" Diana asked as soon as she awoke.
"Is that what you should be asking your savior?" Aurelia asked back, turning around to face the woman she had no qualms with.
"Please, please, please let me go. I did everything you asked of me. Whatever you want, I'll do it; just let my family go," Diana begged as tears streamed down her cheeks.
"Can't you see that I've already let you go? You've come to, and I've dropped all charges against you.
"You were a good girl," Aurelia said as she sat in a cushioned chair next to the bed.
Diana could hear her sincerity as she said, "Thank you very much and I am sorry for everything."
"It's a good thing you can see where you're going wrong, because I let you off the hook very easily. You and Victor put me through hell, but if it hadn't been for you, I wouldn't be holding so much power like today, and as a result, I won't make things difficult for you again," she said as she popped her sweets into her mouth.
