When the black cloth was lifted from my head, I found myself tied up in a dark room and the person standing in front of me was Serena Yates.
"Have you lost your mind, Serena?"
"If Simon finds out you tied me up like this, you’ll bear the consequences!"
I struggled and screamed, but she only laughed. "Lily Caldwell, you really think you’re still the one he cares about?"
"Without his permission, do you think I’d be bold enough to kidnap you?"
"Believe it or not, even if he knew about this, he would only feel sorry for me for working this hard for him."
My eyes widened. My heart sank as I realized it was Simon’s approval that she dared to do this.
Serena saw my shock and laughed again.
After showing a cruel smile, she seized my chin and held it steady.
The cold blade of a knife pressed against the tear mole under my eye. "I’ve always wondered why everyone says I look like you. It’s because of this mole, I see."
"But that won't matter anymore, not after today."
"Stay still. A wrong move and you’ll lose your eye along with the mole."
Serena's laughter echoed through the room.
I closed my eyes in fear, feeling the cold tip of the knife press against my skin bit by bit.
