CHAPTER 65

  Ellen's POV

  "Go to your room, freshen up, and meet me in my study when you're done," Father said standing up to do the same.

  I nodded in response and hurriedly went into my room. I had a quick bath and dressed up in comfortable shorts and a cropped blouse. As I was about to step out of my room, I saw an incoming call from Becky.

  "Finally someone actually has the courtesy to return my calls." I said, rolling my eyes as I stepped back into my room.

  "Sorry about that El. I was in the ER when you called. How are you doing?" Becky asked. Her voice bore tired strains.

  "Well, everything has been fucking chaotic as usual and I had something I wanted to ask you." I replied. I had to hurry so I would not keep my father waiting for long.

  "And what could that be?" Becky asked.
