Chapter 10 : Girl's Night

CW: Mentions of domestic abuse and sexual assault

Seraphina’s POV

Another week passed with another letter from Abe. Same as usual. William drowned himself in drugs, alcohol, and women. However, Abe suspects he will be sending out spies to the Outskirts soon.

So while outwardly, William seemed like he was living it up, he still had a plan for me. Abe would warn me when and who to look out for when William finally dispatched his spies, but until then, I should stay comfortable. Don’t be afraid until there’s something to fear.

Enjoy the little things.

I was free.

And he was right.

Rosie had convinced me to go out with her tonight. Have some fun, just adults, while her mom watches over Annika. I didn’t trust many people to watch my little Annie, but Susanne was one of them.

Sweet like her husband and fierce like her daughter. We got along great. And lucky for me, Annika was going to sleep around eight at night and sleeping until seven the next day.
