Nora:

“You think Brody is the cause behind all this?” I asked, not even daring to sound arrogant.

Ryker looked over at me and shook his head in disbelief. “Why else would you change so much in such a short amount of time?” he nearly hissed.

“Because you guys started dating girls who hate me,” I reminded them, but every time I mentioned the girls, they would dismiss me.

Everyone in the room seemed to have a different opinion of me, and it shattered my heart into a million tiny pieces.

Silas was the only one not in the room with us at that moment. The room I used to call my own was beginning to feel alien.

I kept my head down, enduring their shouting and their harsh words. Eventually, they began to speak in whispers, almost as if they were planning their next move.

That’s when I looked up and noticed that Lord Atwood was standing in the corner, watching me with tears in his eyes. As soon as he realized I was looking back at him, he furrowed his brow and gave me a harsh look. I quickly looked down again, as his angry gaze deeply upset me.

“So you all think I’m an evil person, then,” I said, giving a slight nod. Since they weren’t being thoughtful of my feelings, I decided to take a stand for myself.

“If you guys have such a problem with me, you can let me stay in the apartments, Brody’s apartment,” I muttered under my breath, causing, the whispering to stop abruptly.

“Is that why you did all this? So we would be forced to let you live with that boyfriend of yours without ever having to return here?” Ryker. asked, his question making me lift my head and tilt it in silent inquiry. His suspicion that I could be capable of such a scheme was clear.

“If that is what you think—,” I instantly shut up when Lord Atwood. looked my way. I was still trying to be respectful towards him and the others. Even when they were making me appear as this bloodthirsty witch.

“You cannot leave until the council decides. After all the trouble you‘ ve caused, the council has asked us to keep you here. And do you know what that means?” Lord Atwood’s tone was harsh, and I wasn’t used to it. It pierced my soul, making me realize how I had ruined a perfect family and a perfect home for myself with my own stupidity.

“Because if the girls want to charge you for false accusations,” he finished, and I closed my eyes, feeling the unfairness of it all.

But just then, the door opened with a thud, and in walked Silas with a very dark expression in his eyes. It seemed like he had encountered something extremely distressing. His stare was fixed on me, making it clear that whatever it was, it was related to me.

I had no idea what I had done now, but from the look on his face, it must have been something terrifying. Then I saw the bag in his hand– my bag, containing the file I had prepared just for my own memory. My nerves started to fill up with anxiety. It was like I couldn’t catch a break.

would get their hands on my bag.

A lump formed in my throat as I watched Silas clutch my bag tightly. It worried me—had he read the file? He must have, or else why would he barge into my room with such a look on his face and my bag in his hands?

“What is it?” Lord Atwood asked, noticing Silas’s gaze fixed on me.

“Silas! What is going on?” Ryker followed his gaze to me and then asked him out of curiosity. The harshness of his gaze terrified me. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

If he had read that file, he would definitely think I planned to go. against them and get them arrested. I was the only one who couldn’t ask him anything. I was afraid of hearing his answer.

“Did something else happen?” Cain asked his brother, also staring at me suspiciously. The unbreakable stare of Silas on me was raising

concerns.

And then he opened his mouth to answer the queries.
