CHAPTER 27

  Ellen's POV

  "Get me out of here." I ordered and with a flick of the ignition, we peeled out of the parking lot, leaving the restaurant.

  Inside the car, I fumbled to open the envelope. I had just gotten my nails done and was careful not to damage it.

  Beautifully manicured nails was a vanity I adored.

  "What is this?" My voice was barely above a whisper as I stared dowm at the tiny photograph in my hands. My mind racing with a million questions. But the answers remained elusive, leaving me feeling more confused and conflicted than ever before.

  Then I took the photograph closer to my face when I saw four little kids in it.

  "What the fuck?!" I screamed causing the driver to abruptly step on the brakes.

  "Are you okay Ma'am?" Max asked from the front. Ava was too scared to say anything but her eyes bore the same question.

  "What? Can you not mind your damn business?" I yelled.

  Max observed for awhile before signalling the driver to continue driving.
