Jade's POV
My heart sank at my mother's statement. I clenched and unclenched my fists.
My mind was in disarray.
Hearing that Andrew could be hurt by Marcus was making my head spin. All I wanted to do was protect him from my mother and Marcus but then it seemed I was losing badly.
"What do you mean by that?" I asked my mother, trying hard to keep my voice stable and not stutter.
"You think you are protecting him from us by not doing what we ask of you? My beloved daughter, that is exactly what is endangering him." My mother said to me, and let out a sinister chuckle.
My jaw dropped in shock. And I wondered if that was what it really was.
"H... How?" I asked, I was failing badly at not stuttering. My mother rolled her eyes dramatically, as if she was tired of dealing with a dumb person, who couldn't understand the obvious.
