The fiery sting across her face confirmed it wasn't a dream this little tramp had slapped her! Since returning ha month ago, Ada had kept Sophia under her thumb Now, suddenly, she dared to fight back. Shock turned to fury. "You hit me?" she spat.
Sophia, her fingers tingling from the slap, glared coldly. "Playing homewrecker, Ada? Maybe it's tyou kept your tail tucked between your legs. Twenty years on this earth, and I've never seen a woman so shameless with a married man. Be grateful it was just one slap" Fury choked Ada. "You... you..." She clutched her face, glaring at Sophia, her body trembling. That little. How dare shel Footsteps echoed from the stairs, Jason appeared, frowning, "What's going on here?" Ada blinked back tears, the picture of a wronged woman. Throwing herself into his arms, she sobbed, "I wasn't feeling well last night. Couldn't sleep, worried I'd wake Sophia. Cdown to apologize, but she... she thought I was bragging about dragging you out of bed, and just... slappedfor no reason! It hurts so bad." Jason studied her face, spotting the red fingerprints and blood at the corner of her mouth, evidence of a forceful slap. He shifted his gaze to Sophia, who stood aloof, indifferent. His eyes darkened. “Didn't you decide to give those baby clothes to Ada's kid? Why target her the minute you cdownstairs? Can't you just be civil?" There it was again.
