Yeah, I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy.
So I should be happy that I’m supposed to marry someone who’s only three years older than me and not some disgusting old pervert? Even if that guy is the most vile creature on the planet?
“Don’t you think it would be much, much better if I got to choose who I marry?” I ask.
“We can’t always get what we want, and we all must make sacrifices in this life.”
I roll my eyes and brush past her.
If I keep talking to her, I’ll get nowhere.
She’ll never be on my side.
No one will.
I storm into my room, closing the door behind me, and then I let myself slide to the floor. It’s impossible to control all the emotions that are coursing through me.
I want to scream.
I want to burn down the whole world.
I want to kill Victor and his family.
Without thinking, I sink my teeth into my bare arm. The pain helps me focus.
There’s only one thing I want now.
Revenge.
The Santarossas will pay for what they did to my brother.
Even if it’s the last thing I’ll do.
