Third person's POV
"Plan B?"
"What have you gotten yourself into, Mom?" Jade whispered, sliding down to the floor, in her room.
Her hands trembled as she hugged her knees to her chest. The mother she thought she knew seemed to be slipping away, replaced by a stranger with secrets and dangerous plans. Jade felt a lump form in her throat, tears stinging her eyes.
"Plan B? What does that even mean?" she wondered, a shiver running down her spine. The way her mother had said it, with a hint of fear and uncertainty in her voice, made her know it was something dangerous.
It made her blood run cold.
Anger bubbled up inside her, mixing with fear and confusion. How could her mother be involved in something like this? And with Marcus, of all people? The man had always given Jade the creeps, but now he seemed genuinely dangerous.
