FOUND IN THE RAIN

Fay couldn't spend one more second in that house.

The matriarch wanted to buy her more than she had already been bought. Celine Atticus hated her, and would do anything to see her out of their lives for good.

The uncle was a sexual predator who could have had his way with her, and non one would have known or believed her.

Then there was Ace. She thought things were going to be good with them, after his declaration.

Even if he didn't have feelings for her, she could trust that he would protect her.

But how could someone with such a grudge in their heart protect her?

Someone with so much hate that could redden the deep blue sea.

He had fantasized about killing his aunt in the most gruesome way possible.

Wiping off her tears, she made her way out the door.
