“If not her, then who else? It had to be your evil Romani Family! Your grandmother embroidered that peace blessing for Maria as a gift, but you dare to hide a cursed spell inside the doll!”
“I’m warning you … if anything happens to Maria or her baby, I’ll make sure you and your dead grandmother are buried with them!”
The blister on my hand burst from the pressure. In fact, the pain made my vision go black for a second. But Angelo wasn’t done. His anger hadn’t cooled at all.
He called for the bodyguard to hold me in place and handed a wooden ruler to Maria.
“She keeps trying to hurt you. You haven’t had the chance to fight back before, but now I’m giving you the chance. Go ahead, Maria! Take your revenge!”
I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.
My grandmother was already dead because of them and now they were using the peace blessing she had lovingly embroidered to frame her!
I took a deep breath and said, “The fabric of that doll is clearly different from the one used in the peace blessing.”
“My grandma was locked up by you and forced to make endless peace blessings, so how would she have had the time or strength to make something new like that to harm Maria?”
