Chapter 147

• If this guy was trying to lose his teeth, then he was really going to lose them. “You fucking-” My body tensed as I made to charge at him and fucking curve that filthy tongue of his out and loosen those fucking jaws so he fucking has something to bitch about but a sudden smack across my face made me halt in my tracks, deathly still.
• A light sting warmed the part of my face where I got slapped as I stared flatly at the corner, momentarily still, muscles taut. Silence fell over the entire room, and not even a single sound could be heard for a moment.
• Until I heard Jade speak up. “I’m sorry, but you fucking need to be put in your place.” Her voice sounded venomous, and I was not sure if she was apologizing for slapping me or she was just insulting me the more. I slowly looked back down at her, not even sure what to feel or say, only to meet the apologetic light in her eyes, even though she was frowning at me.
