Moments Earlier…
Zaid
Leading Lady Misha off the dancefloor, I thank her for her time before making a beeline towards my friends. Marv watches me, his brows furrowing as I reach his side.
“What is it?” he asks, his voice low to keep our conversation within our group.
“Harold threatened me,” I whisper, shaking with rage. “He threatened to drug Ember with an abortion pill if I didn’t dance with Rose,” I continue, trying to keep calm as I explain what happened while I danced with Lady Misha.
Maya frowns, her eyes searching mine before she turns to where Ember has disappeared with Aunt Cynthia in the sitting room we prepared. It seems like our plan to gain evidence against Rose has begun. “What are you going to do?” she asks, her voice filled with anger as she turns her gaze back to me.
