Chapter 135

• LUCA
• Having Veda's parents safely ensconced in my home was...interesting. Even in the horrendous condition they were in, I could see almost immediately where the sisters had gotten their different personalities. Nicole, from the way Veda had described her, must have been the spitting image of her bitch of a mother.
• The father, on the other hand, was a little harder to read. However, he'd just been beaten to within an inch of his life trying to protect his wife, so I had to respect him somewhat for that. Being attacked in the middle of the night wasn't a normal thing for him, and he'd done the best he could to protect the two of them. It also made me see where Veda had gotten her inner strength and integrity from.
