Ezra and his men are the only ones who would steal my baby!
“Don’t cry, Letty…” Emma tried to comfort me, but I covered my ears and crouched down while screaming at the top of my lungs.
“Don’t touch me! Liars! You’re all liars!”
My son has been stolen from me while under the care of my own people… I don’t even know who I can trust anymore…
Emery placed a hand on my shoulder and said, “Calm down, Scarlett.”
Having been through her fair share of conflicts, she was extremely calm as she ordered the servants around us, “Bring me everyone that has been into this house since yesterday…”
There was a loud ringing noise in my ears, so I couldn’t hear what else she said as I wrapped my arms around my trembling body. When I glanced at her through the corner of my eye, I suddenly remembered something very important. Wait, I’ve still got my daughter!
I then quickly stood up, snatched my baby out of Emery’s arms, and locked myself in the bedroom upstairs.
“Letty? What are you doing? Open the door!” they shouted worriedly while banging on the door.
The world around me started spinning, and their voices sounded like demons from hell who wanted to take my daughter from me.
I quickly hid in the closet and curled up in a corner, muttering softly under my breath, “Stay away from my daughter… I won’t let you have my daughter…”
The sounds of my baby crying was all that I could hear, and the closet door was opened from the outside.
The bright light from outside hurt my eyes, causing me to tighten my grip on my baby.
“I’m home, Letty.” Ashton’s familiar voice snapped me back to reality, and I turned my head slowly to look at him.
