Little Miss Revenge Chapter 09

Isabella’s eyes were swollen. Alexander knelt to my level and forced a smile. “Ella… from today, you’re the lady of this house. This is your room. Your bed. Dad bought you dolls, dresses… do you like them?”

I looked

past him at the gilded crib. Then I touched the frilly blanket.

“No,” I said.

Their smiles died.

“These were all hers. They smell like her. I hate it.”

Isabella burst into tears. “I’m sorry, baby. We’ll throw it all away. Everything new. Just tell us what you want.’

I looked at her. “You’re not my mom. My mom is Margaret. She hits me. Starves me. You’re Sofia’s mom. You hug her. Buy her pretty things. We’re nothing.”

Isabella collapsed, sobbing into her hands.

Alexander’s voice cracked. “Ella, we know you hate us. We failed you. But please—give us a chance to make it right.”

Istood there, unmoved.

Make it right? In my past life, they’d let Sofia kill me and covered it up. A few apologies and a new wardrobe didn’t fix that.

But I didn’t say that. I just nodded. “I accept your apology. But I don’t forgive you. Not yet.”

Then I turned and walked out.
