#Chapter109
/"I know she is here./" I can hear Meranda choking and Lisa nudges me with her foot.
/"You have three seconds to come out, Evelyn, or I kill your friend,/" Thaddeus growls out before hearing the sound of chairs moving and the bell going off as people run from the cafe. Standing up, I walk out of the kitchen. Thaddeus has Meranda by the throat, letting her go when I walk out and she stumbles back clutching her throat, her red hair half pulled from its bun. She had tears on her cheeks. I felt so guilty. I shouldn’t have run, or at least shouldn’t have come here. But where did I have to go? I was hoping they wouldn’t make a scene here, seeing as it is a pretty popular cafe on this side of town.
Thaddeus moved around the counter before reaching for me and ripping me towards him, making me stumble into his chest. His hand going into my hair as he yanks my head back, making me cry out.
