CHAPTER 54: Confessions of a Maniac

  Lois was out of her chair and in Jasper’s face, yanking her away from Darya with a force Ares was impressed with. She was shaking Jasper hard, making the woman’s head wobble like a bobble-headed toy and she was shrieking at her to tell them where Magda was.

  He saw Dimitra wave at him to intervene and he shrugged. If Lois wanted to smack the girl around, who was he to stop a family situation? He frowned as Lanie moved in between Lois and Jasper, irritated the woman was putting a stop to Lois’ assault on the woman. However, he was unprepared for Lanie smacking Jasper hard across the face, causing blood to appear on her lip.

  “She is your cousin, your blood, and your family! How could you? All week long pretending to be concerned and sad when you were behind it all!”

  Jasper wiped the blood off her mouth and yanked herself away from her mother, “nice, mom. Hitting your pregnant daughter.”
