Chapter 52 The Night He Let Me In

• MILENE’S POV
• “That was the first dead body I ever saw. But it wasn’t the last.” He shrugged like it didn’t matter. “There was blood all over the floor, and I slipped in it. I fell, and my clothes got covered in her blood.” His voice was calm, like he was just talking about the weather.
• “I ran out of the bathroom, screaming and crying. My father found me, slapped me, and told me to stop acting weak. He told me to clean myself up. So I did. And after that, I never cried again.”
