Chapter 71: THE DEAL 2

"How much do you need to leave completely?" Grandma asked.

"I... It's not that easy." I said.

"Why? You're now in love with my son? How many times do I have to make it clear to you, that you don't belong here? Alex is going to get married to just one woman and that's Beverly" Mother said.

"I know but it's not up to me to break the marriage." I bit my lips.

"I can help you escape to a place he would not be able to find you," Avery suggested.

"I can't leave without my mum," I said.

"Your dead mum? That slot?" Grandma's words made me tear up.

I'm really sensitive when it comes to mum. But I pushed it back in, I can't cry before this witch, "She's not dead." I said calmly.

"But she will die. She has an incurable disease or are you not aware of that?" Avery asked sardonically with a broad smile on her lips.

"Watch your tongue, Avery, I've never wished your mum death," I said to her.
