Unbroken

“We’re great friends.”

“Have you fucked my boy?”

My face paled as I shook my head furiously, but it suddenly felt light now. “I’m a virgin, Mrs Itani.”

“Doesn’t make you innocent.”

“Honestly, if you knew how wrong you are…”

I’d never kissed a boy except for Hunter back when I was thirteen. We were in that really weird stage in our dynamic. The boys circled around me, never touching, never making a move, never showing interest in other girls, either.

They just watched me.

Hunter and Leo never stopped watching me, their eyes loaded with an emotion that brimmed below the surface.

Mrs Itani needed to know how wrong she was.

But the car kept driving and she kept spewing really fucked up shit to me. How I wanted Leo’s dick, how I was using him so he’d marry me one day. How I would be a disgrace to the people in their world, and I would ruin him.

And how dare I try and ruin him!

And how dare I think I could do it for another minute!

She grew angrier, her fingernails now scraping instead of drumming.

My eyes were growing heavy, and at the centre of my being I suspected why that was. But how could I have anticipated such a move from Leo’smother? The self-professed Queen ofEnglandBrown Bay.

What a whacko bitch.

I grabbed the door handle of the car, and without thinking, I flung it open. The car slowed down, and she shouted for me to close the door—

Apparently, she thought I would.

So whacko.

“You drugged me,” I slurred.

What was she planning on doing to me?

My stomach twisted again. The urge to vomit returned.

And I didn’t even think about it as the reality of this crashed down on me. I simply threw myself out of the moving car.

My body ate the pavement in an earth-shattering way, and I blacked out.
