“It’s not as easy as that—”
“No? Just use yourcharms, Penelope. Fuck one of them. Hell, fuckallof them at once,” he sneers. By the tone of his voice he isn’t happy with the idea, and it’s not because he’s coming from a position of brotherly concern. Nope, his unhappiness is based more in jealousy than anything else. My stomach twists. He’ssick.
“I’m trying, David. It’s complicated.”
“Fuck complicated. Do as you’re goddamn told! You do not want to test me,whore!”
I flinch at his words, my whole body shaking with fear. I hate him so fucking much.
“I need a little more time. Please, David. I’ll find out what you want to know. Ipromise.” Pleading has never worked before, and I don’t expect it to now, but it’s all I have. “She’s your little sister…” I whisper, unable to comprehend how he could even think about hurting her, let alone follow through on the threat.
“You think that matters to me?”
“What about Mum? You care about her, at least. I know you do. If you hurt Lena, it will kill her.”
David laughs like I’ve said the funniest thing and it makes my skin crawl. He’s evil. Pure and simple. “The only thing that woman was good for was giving birth to me. She’s a waste of fucking space.”
“David—”
“You don’t need me to remind you what’s at stake, do you, Penelope?”
“No. I understand,” I manage to bite out.
“Good. I’ll be waiting because, believe me, my patience is wearing thin. Don’t fucking disappoint me.”
“I won’t.” My voice is barely above a whisper as I try to hold onto my tears.
“You have until the end of the month, Penelope. If you don’t tell me what the fuck is going on by then, she’sdead,” he warns, ending the call with that threat ringing in my ears.
