Simon was interested in the relationship between Kate and Alessandra. It wasn't every day he stumbled across sisters who hated each other so badly that one injured the other's face. Simon backed away from Kate and went to sit on the bed.
"You're a smart girl Kate. Surely you won't lie to me about what I want to hear next. What happened to your sister's face?" Simon asked. At the first sign of a lie, Kate would be spending her wedding night with Bella.
Kate clenched her fists. This did not need to be talked about now but she did not want to face whatever Simon would do to her if she lied to him. Kate was not going to die at Simon's hands. She would get out of here.
