Chapter 21

• I opened the door and stepped in, closing it behind me. My forehead broke out in sweat as I walked deeper into the room. The brothers were seated on the bed, watching me. They pulled their face up in an expressionless mask, giving me blank gazes. There was no way to know what was going on in their minds at that moment.
• I stood in front of them, nervously tugging my gown. The silence dragged on, with none of them saying a word. My eyes went to Blue before they drifted to Fred. The talkative brother didn't make any snide remarks as he watched me.
• I craved to hear him sneer at me, mock me as he told me just how soft I was and how they would break me. I wanted to hear them yell at me for going against their words. Anything but silence.
