The Forty-Fourth Chapter

“Was that a bomb?” Anaztasia asked.

“I think so,” Romaine said as she put her glass of passion fruit juice down. Rozelyn doesn;t know how many glasses of that juice her stepmother had consumed.

‘She only drinks a lot of juice when she’s nervous.’ She thought. Rozelyn decided to peer into Romaine's mind when she remembered about Laara and Isla.

Rozelyn’s speculation became wilder. She had once glanced in Avril’s mind that Romaine was an accomplice. But, the question is, accomplice to whom? And why would she do that? Why would her stepmother do that? Why would Romaine betray the coven that had sheltered her ever since she ran away from her home in Romania?

As soon as they heard the explosion, Laara and Isla were eager to sprint there.

“That was our home!” Laara cried as she seized her daughter and both went away from Rozelyn’s sight.

“But there’s nothing else you could do!” It was too late for Rozelyn to hold them back from running.
