Sameen's POV
The words had barely left my mouth when Lauretta's lips curled into a laugh that was both mocking and sharp.
She clearly didn't believe what I said as she looked at me with a smug expression.
"You?" she scoffed, her heels clicking against the marble as she stepped closer.
"Do you actually think you can scare me with your pathetic bluffing? Raymond would never ever do something so foolish because he knows better than to risk everything he's worked for all these years." she said with a mocking voice while sneering at me.
Her voice echoed in the quiet room and I hated how smug she looked, like a queen standing above a beggar.
But I didn't flinch, I will never give her the satisfaction of seeing me scared.
My body still trembled, my mascara still streaked down my cheeks from all the crying earlier, but there was rage inside me that hadn't been there before and I clung to it like a weapon.
I tilted my head, forcing a bitter smile onto my lips.
