Chapter 50 Surprise!

• Annie
• It's been nearly two days since I've told Queen Clarita about Vanessa's threat and I've heard nothing from her on the subject. As the minutes tick by I grow more and more anxious than the minute before. Of course Daniel senses my anxiety and he asks me what is wrong. I have no choice but to lie--kind of--and tell him it's because I'm nervous for the ultrasound. It isn't a complete lie, I am, but it isn't the truth. I've been lying to him a lot since Vanessa visited me and I feel bad every time I do, but I have no choice. What makes me feel even worse is that he's come to accept my lies as the truth.
• "I'm just a little worried about the ultrasound. I want to make sure everything's okay." I explain.
