Capítulo 30: Chapter Thirty

A miracle or the worst deception?

"How," I whisper.

Laura's eyes are wide, almost protruding as she hugs her knees. "Blindsided."

I lay on a plush bed with Mort, Leenie, and Laura starring at me. I take a slow breath, trying to slow my heart-rate down. When I saw him, it was like a shock to my system, my soul left my body for a split second then came back.

"Did Pierce know all along?" I ask Mort.

Mort glances at Leenie. "I believe he did."

"Why in the hell didn't he say anything, Mort?" I sit up, feeling almost betrayed, hurt, stupid.

Mort looks innocent as she visibly swallows. "I do not know but if I were to guess, I'm guessing that it would have to do with Fairy Godmother Rules. Unless you find out for yourself Pierce can only nudge you. He cannot under any circumstances interfere with Fate. Pierce cannot give you information such as this unless you find out for yourself."
