When did the mistakes begin? Ariana asked herself.
It seemed like it all started the first time she scarred a girl’s face out of jealousy — simply because the girl was prettier than her.
That was also when she learned that no matter what she did, her parents would always use money to clean up her messes.
Now, having finally escaped from that nightmare, Ariana knew her retribution was likely far from over.
But after everything she had gone through, being able to walk freely alongside Kendrick — even if just for a little while — felt like a kind of satisfaction.
Even though she knew the person beside him would never be her.
The next day, Kendrick and Annabelle boarded a plane back to Elfhedge.
Jax stayed behind to help Ariana with her exit procedures and would return a few days later.
