★She lied★

~CHAPTER 44~

As soon as the man finished delivering his ominous warning, he slammed Aria against the wall with a force that made her body bounce off the surface.

The sound of her gasp was loud as day as it echoed through the room. The man nodded to his thugs, deeming that his warning was loud enough, he turned to leave.

His goons fell into step behind him, their faces twisted into grins as they cast menacing glances over their shoulders.

But before the bosses passed through the damaged door, his voice boomed out, words dripping with distain.

"I'm giving y'all the grace till next month, the first Monday, or y'all dead." His tone was deadly serious that it sent chills down the spine.

The door slammed shut, they left us with the air heavy with tension. The echoes of their footsteps faded away, down the hallway.

A single drop of water hitting the floor would have been deafening because of how much this stillness was suffocating.
