Kaiden:
My eyes met hers, and it felt like the sky had collapsed on my head. My eyes couldn't believe what I was seeing. My body shuddered, everything falling apart.
She was not some angel or my imagination.
She was standing there, glaring at me, her eyes showing she had been through a lot and that she recognized me.
I had run into the kitchen where I couldn't find peace. The chefs were looking at me, and I had to constantly wipe my face to get rid of the sweat.
"Kaiden, why did you come inside like that? You need to create a good alliance with Penn," Mom walked in, slapping my back, and I visibly jumped.
"Are you okay?" Mom noticed the panic in my body, so she asked.
"I'm fine, Mom. Why are you always on my back?" I knew I was taking my frustration out on the wrong person. She kept staring at my face in shock because this wasn't how I had ever talked to her.
