Chapter 26

• TOO PRECIOUS
• “I am still waiting,” I say after a moment because it seems like this gross sister of mine swallowed her tongue or the voice just ran out of her mouth. “Why don’t you marry this De’Leon son instead?”
• She cocks her head to the side, giving me a barren glare for a moment as she thinks of a convenient lie to puke. “That is because I am too precious to be used as a merger. I have so much value in this family, hence I cannot be traded this way,” she says proudly, as if she and I were too distinct from each other.
