Jessica scuttled over to Russell with a cold expression. Seeing her, Russell’s heart skipped. He looked away.“Why didn’t you answer my calls?” she asked aloud.“Whoa,” he turned back toward her and hissed in a low voice, “why are you shouting?”“Then answer me!”“I-I thought you might be working, and I didn’t want to disturb you.”“That’s nice of you, but I quit the job,” she casually said.“Oh, you quit, huh… wait, you did what?” he was shocked. “Why did you quit?”“Why else? I didn’t like how they treated you,” she quickly replied. “How can I work there after what happened…” she suddenly remembered about Kyra’s offer. “Nah, scratch that, how about we both work there again?”“What do you mean?” Russell raised his brows. “I just got fired today. I somehow managed to get this job. They pay 15 dollars per hour, and I don’t like the smell here, but it’s better than nothing.”“So you won’t work in that restaurant no matter what?” Jessica asked. “Even if you’re paid more?”“No,” Russell w

Viola’s elbow was badly injured, but before Russell could ask what happened, Jennifer howled, “Look what your ex-lover did to your sister.” Her eyes were on flames, and she frothed at her mouth with fury.“What happened?” Russell hurriedly asked Viola with a stressful face as he checked her wound. He wanted to hear from his sister and not from Jennifer whose words he couldn’t trust.“I went to Natasha’s house,” Viola explained, hissing between sentences because of the pain, “to tell her to stop talking badly about you on social media. She… She slapped me, and I fell down the stairs… and this happened.” Viola saw her badly bruised arm near the elbow. She had never suffered an injury like this, and it made her very nervous and uneasy. “Her fiance, Denver, was also there, and he was laughing hard. It was humiliating.”“She could have easily died from the fall,” Jennifer added, glaring into the distance, clenching her fists. “I told your dad, but he doesn’t want to face Fredrick now. Heck

‘She can change boyfriends at the drop of a tampon.’This was one of the titles Viola used in her online posts to describe a certain woman, without mentioning her name anywhere.However, everyone in her circle and most of the viewers very much knew who she was talking about.Natasha had always harassed her targets in groups, but now she was on the receiving end of an attack from a pissed-off lone wolf.Russell hadn’t met Viola after he had beaten Natasha. For the first time, he entered her room in a long while. She was busy chatting with her friends, coming up with a new plan to pick on Natasha.Was this really the same Viola who once told him to not bother about Natasha and think of her as nothing more than a barking dog?He sat down on her bed. After a few minutes, she finished her chat, sat up and gave him a hug. “I’m so glad that you taught her a lesson, Brother! I always knew you were brave, and you were only holding yourself back. Now, Natasha won’t dare bare her fangs at you an

Russell returned home. The one being that would usually come to greet him was nowhere to be seen.Straight away, he felt terrible. He didn’t enter the house but went to the small dog house. It had a blanket with bone designs. Perro liked the blanket so much he wouldn’t even let Russell take that for getting it washed.He would tell Viola to take the blanket when he took Perro out for a walk, and Perro would make a lot of fuss after coming home. The amount of sass he would show, no other dog would probably be able to come close to him.But all of that is past now.“Denver Dankworth…” Russell clenched his fists. “You’re not going to get away with what you did.”Russell then went to find a part-time job as he had a debt to pay for having paid Nora her salary.He tried a walk-in interview for babysitters. He particularly chose that job because he didn’t want Kyra to see him working.He got the job to work in an apartment’s room. He had to babysit siblings that were three and four years ol

“Miss,” the old beggar hesitantly asked, “can you hear me?”“Oh, I can very much hear your heartbeat,” Jessica replied, controlling herself from hissing at him. She and her brother were always very close to ending up on the streets, so she could totally understand the act that the beggar was putting up. “I know you must be going through a tough period, but if you think that will justify anything and everything you do, then you’re gravely mistaken.”“I-I don’t understand what you’re talking about, Miss,” the old beggar looked confused.“I know you get what I meant,” Jessica blurted. “I suggest that you leave before the guards show up, or they’re going to handle you roughly.” She warned him and entered the building.She reached the tenth floor, where the interview was being conducted. To her shock, Natasha was also among those who were waiting in the conference room. There were already more than fifty people. It took her a while to find Irene who was sleeping. She just sat next to her a
