Waiting & Warmth

Max watched Bella hang up and sighed. 

"Are you sure about it? "she asked. 

"About? " 

"Telling him to kill Uncle... "Max said. 

"Do you know what he did? " she asked. 

"Briefly "muttered Max. 

Bella adjusted her seat to sit up, her eyes rested on Max. 

"Then what do you know ". 

"He fibbed about the dinner "

Bella scoffed... and Max gapped. 

"Is there more? "

She took a deep breath, "That was his first warning, but the person who made my condition worse was that bastard... And I know his your uncle.. "

"Not biological.. " 

Bella sighed, "But he has no manners and I think everyone has tolerated him for so long it made him feel invincible..... Frank might not have filled you in so let me. Hansel was the person met in the hotel and he tried to rape me but I started bleeding and he ran off scared "

Max fell silent...
