Chapter Twenty-Three

Talia's POV:

Why was this happening to me? Really. I wouldn't say I was perfect and had no sin. I lied to grandma just to get out of the house. Drank a few times, but apart from that, I never skipped school or messed around with boys. Unless you are counting my little thing with Jake.

  I knew what I wanted from life and I was working so hard towards that until this crazy dude decided to pause my life. At this moment, I missed my Mom. I still didn't know why she killed herself. Although I didn't know who she was, I just hoped that she was in a happy place now.

Maybe even smiling down at me. That prick who put her in the situation that ruined her, if I ever set my eyes on him, the asshole who would have been my dad, I will punch him to a pulp.

All these blazes of thought made me briefly forget the hulk of a man in front of me. He kept staring at me like some TV show. Hmm, I wondered what this man truly wanted from me.
