The Grape Belle
Language: en
I got into a massive fight with Ashton because he ate a grape fed to him by Layla. The next day, he had my sister’s targeted therapy medication discontinued. That day, I knelt on the living room floor of the Crawford estate for six solid hours. Only then did he relent, pinching my chin and saying, “Seraphina, your sister's life is a gift from me. When I want you to be good, you will be good.” So the next time I saw Layla slip a hotel key card into Ashton’s pocket, I stood in the darkest corner of the room, slowly finished the wine in my glass, and didn’t even flinch.
