Samantha lowered her head to hide the expression in her eyes.
'What is this woman trying to achieve?' She asked herself. Unknowingly, she had started to refer to Aliya as 'that woman' in her thoughts, but her actions, surprisingly, gave little away.
Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw Ingrid sigh. Ingrid seemed to be doing that a lot, and she did not understand why. Despite this, Samantha was starting to feel the same way. She sighed.
'What has happened to Mum? DID SOMETHING HAPPEN TO HER?' She wondered as her worry turned to panic that struggled to emerge. However, she spared not even a glance at her adoptive mother, Aliya. The three of them had grown to rely on Shelby so much that they could not imagine a day without her. The thing was that her adoptive mother was acting bolder and weirder and that was what was disturbing for Samantha.
