Alison After that awkward breakfast, I went to my room—which I just found out existed a while ago when Alex showed me. It had all my clothes already. I guessed Alex moved them while I was sleeping. I picked a black plain shirt and leggings and paired it with a brown coat and a white scarf to cover the ugly mark Lucas left on my neck. Plus, it was freezing outside. Alex and I drove to my house in silence. I didn't have anything to say. I was still trying to figure out what my family could want that needed my physical presence. Perfect timing, anyway. I was planning to visit them to ask for them to transfer ownership of the company. The people at the dining table were the same as the last time we were here, apart from one person. Linda. As soon as she saw me, she flashed that fake smile
