Chapter 69: SACRIFICIAL LAMB

Thank you for being patient with me. And I’m much better. We hit T1! Help me get T2!!! I love you, my readers.

As Corral walked back to where the horses had been kept, she wondered if she was imagining it all.

She kept praying to herself that this was nothing but a bad dream.

A nightmare she wanted to wake up from with the snap of her fingers.

But she couldn’t.

This was, in fact, reality.

It was like even in death, and her sister had come to haunt her.

After all these years? Why hadn’t she ever come back?

If she didn’t drown, then how come she somehow resurfaced?

They had searched everywhere for her body and couldn’t even find it.

She started to rake her hair and bite her fingernails.

"Well, that didn’t happen!" Cherry snapped. "Look, she went on to live her life and even had a child. A child that even scares Marie. Do you know what it means for that woman to be scared of someone?"

Corral couldn’t help it.

It technically wasn’t her fault.

She had done what she had been instructed to do and even made sure of it.

"We have to do something about her." Aunt Cherry said.

"Mother has seen her." Corral said. "And worse, she is Xaden’s pet. Do you even know what that means? Xaden doesn’t listen to anyone. Not even the King."

"She is his enemy." Aunt Cherry said. "Didn’t he bring her here to torture her? And suffer for what her father and family had done to him?"

"It’s different. From what I gathered, He protects her." Corral said. "He doesn’t let them
