Chapter 55

• Still Adrian's POV
• "You know what, just listen to Abigail's story first. After listening to her story, I mean, if you still hate her this much after hearing all she has gone through, then I'll let her go, for good. " I pleaded quietly, looking up at him with a sullen expression on my face, begging for his understanding.
• "Save it bro. I really don't want to hear it. I don't want to be brainwashed like you. The mere thought of falling into the hands of fraudsters again scares the shit out of me. Do you remember how long we slept on the streets before mom was able to get a job and an accommodation for us?? Am sure you've forgotten all that. Do you also remember how we used to take turns to watch over mom and Cara as they slept at night?? We even went as far as building traps around our sleeping spots because we were so scared of being mugged while we slept. Do you remember all this Adrian??" he asked in a very sad tone, taking me down memory lane.
