Chapter 34: A Befitting punishment

"I know," ignoring the glare that Inez shot her way, her mother patted her on the shoulders and stated, "But rebellious kids like you need some stern talk. Unless your weak pulse is pinched, kids like you just won’t listen."

Inez sucked in a cold breath. She tried to ease the subtle burn in her chest but nothing eased the anger after listening to the cold and heart-chilling words of her mother. That was all she was and would be in the eyes of her mother—a rebellious kid who didn’t know anything better.

Just because she had the blood of a siren in her veins, her mother had determined that she was a lost cause and there was nothing that she could do about it.

Her words were hurtful but not enough to make Inez lose her calm. She pursed her lips and spat, "Fine."

She then spun on her heel and ignored the triumphant smile on her mother’s lips. Just one more night, tomorrow she would be free of this nonsense. Though she knew that her sister would have to suffer quite a lot of injustice because of her actions, Inez knew that Scarlet was made of tougher shit than her mother. fгeewebnovёl.com

She stepped outside the room and walked to the living room, where Blaise was waiting for her.

"What do you want to say?" she asked with a stern note in her voice. Inez didn’t wish to waste any more of her time than she already had. She could be getting ready to escape this prison of hers but no, things just had to go south and in a way that she didn’t like.

Blake studied her carefully before saying, "Can we talk in the garden?"

Inez studied him right back. Though she didn’t know why this man wanted to drag her to the garden, she nodded. Anyway, it wasn’t as if he could kill and bury her in the garden of her own house and even if he did try, she would have a better advantage of running away from him.

The two of them stepped out of the porch and walked down the stairs before stepping down the freshly mown grass. Just like everything in the house, it was perfectly trimmed without any signs of overgrowth. The shrubs and bushes were neatly cut and little fairy lights glitter all over the garden.

It looked pretty but it was not something Inez would like. She had this artistic streak that poked her from within and told her that she could do much better but in the eyes of her mother it would turn into nothing but a wasteful effort; thus, Inez never tried.

"It is quite nice here," Blake praised but Inez didn’t take the bait. She stayed quiet, waiting for the man to tell her what he wanted to tell her. Since he certainly didn’t come here to praise and admire her mother’s gardening skills.

Inez watched him walk over to the old tree in the corner of the garden and then heard him sigh, "I remember planting this here with you and the boys." He touched the trunk of the tree with a reminiscent look in his eyes and spoke, "Do you still remember how we used to climb this tree to get into your room?"

She did. But since she didn’t want to shake her resolve to escape this place and leave these people behind, Inez crossed her arms and stated in a cold voice, "It’s going to be cut down in a few days, so you might as well take a snap of it."
