Chapter 16 An Ungrateful Spawn

• DAVINA
• Several nights after seeing my supposed dead body in a coffin, already rotting from inside out, I buried myself in work. I extended defense classes, I extended my classes with Mrs. Bailey and spent even more time with the business coach who disliked me so much.
• I wasn't interested in anyone liking me anymore. I was only interested in what they had to offer. The knowledge. If I spent my time on trying to make them like me, they would dislike me even more, call me crazy and not worthy, a trait that Adeline had instilled in me.
