"Why would you betray your best friend?" Collins asked the woman who looked at him pleasingly. He wanted to leave but he thought he should take a detour and as he thought she was placed in a cell further away from Jacob's.
She bit on her lower lip and her hands trembled. She didn't think anyone other than Melody and her trusted servants would be allowed down here but she was wrong. Collins was standing before her right now and she so desperately wanted to jump on him so he would take her away from her but she could not. The cell bars stood as the only obstacle keeping her from clinging to him.
"I… I… I did not…" she stopped not knowing how to complete her words. She knew she made no sense and denying it now wouldn't help but she also didn't want to say she was jealous of Melody to her cousin who was also a man she once desired and wanted for herself. Had he not been so cold and guarded in the past, she was sure she would have had him.
