Chapter 9 Silence Is Golden

• Ximena's POV
• My mind was consumed by thoughts. If only I could escape this life. Why does all the misfortune always come my way?

Now, I have to strip a man of his possessions just to protect my family. I had no choice after the event that took place between Mrs. Miles and I yesterday.
