Chapter 3

GUILIA

Fucking arse hole!

I gritted my teeth, trudging down the street, still thinking of that weirdo. Grumbling, I shoved what I purchased into my purse. I would have to eat that when I got to the place I would spend the night in.

My stomach rumbled, but I ignored it. It wasn't as if this was the first time I had gone hungry for the entire day. My foster parents frequently starved me whenever I did something they warned me against.

And did it work? Of course, not. Mary, most times, laughed at how willful I was. A pity she never fully got to know why I was that way.

Halfway down the streets, my eyes landed on a neon light. 'De Parish Bar.'

Huh?

I frowned at the long line of people waiting at the door to be ushered in. I peered around the place, noting how deserted it was. In my angry state, I didn't realize where I was heading. It seemed I left the road I took to the convenience store, for the one behind it.
