Natalia ran a towel through her damp hair, the citrus scent of her body wash filling her bedroom as she stared at her reflection in the vanity mirror. Kimiko's words echoed in her head, circling like vultures.
"This path you two are on... it leads nowhere good."
She dropped the towel on her bed and pulled on a black lace bra, followed by a pair of silk shorts that barely covered anything. What the hell does Kimiko know about their path?
Natalia flopped onto her bed, picking up a manga volume she'd been neglecting. She flipped through the pages without registering a single panel. Instead, her mind kept replaying the moment in the kitchen... It had been jarring to see that side of the normally composed woman.
Her phone buzzed on the nightstand. Once. Twice. Three times in rapid succession. Natalia reached for it with a sigh. The Bad Bitch Brigade group chat was lighting up with notifications.
