she pleased since she was born, Marjorie cut in. “I am so disappointed in you.” Abigail stared at her in shock. Her mother sniffed and turned walking toward the door. “Your aunt and I had such high hopes for you, Abby, but your behavior is inexcusable. I hope you don’t intend on continuing to sleep with that—“ Marjorie wrinkled her nose in disgust. “I’ve never slept with anyone,” Abigail exclaimed. “I swear!” Her mother pursed her lips and stared down her nose at Abigail. “Dinner is at seven. Daniel has invited a guest. Let’s hope whoever it is hasn’t seen your vulgar display on the internet.” *** At a quarter to seven, Abigail was ready for dinner.

They walked down the mansion’s left wing corridor until they reached the main hall with the spiral staircase just beyond the grand foyer. Mikayla was just coming down the stairs wearing a white dress with some lace lining the plunging neckline. A long necklace of crystals glittered down the front of her body and her red curls bounced with each angered step she took. At the moment, Mikayla’s eyes were staring daggers at Abigail.
