Bad Move, Uncle. You Sent Your Princess to the Mob… Now Your Queen Runs It Novel

Chapter 17 It wasn't long before Everett marched into Skylar's room, dragging Thalia along with him. The moment Everett saw the jagged scar on Skylar's face, his chest tightened, it felt like a cold blade was being twisted in his heart. "Sky... I'm so sorry..." Before he could finish, a sharp sting hit his cheek, and a diamond necklace clattered to the floor at his feet. It was the exact one he had sent to the Jefferson house as a peace offering. Everett and Skylar used to have a deal: whenever they fought, a new necklace was the signal for a truce.

She had accepted every single one before, but this time, she had hurled it right back in his face. Everett picked the necklace up from the floor, his eyes bloodshot and raw as he looked at her. "Sky, I failed you. I never should have sent you to that hellhole. Please, baby... just tell me you'll forgive me." Skylar stared at him, her lips trembling with a volcanic, suppressed rage. "You have the balls to ask for forgiveness, Everett? Look at me! You did this! Thalia framed me and you just shipped me off like cargo to 'learn some manners.' You missed every single one of my pleas for help.

You didn't even check to see if I was alive before you flew back home!" "I hate you, Everett! I will never forgive you as long OUT!!" as I Take your 'discipline' and get the hell out of my house!

Soren, worried she'd pass out from the stress, stepped in and pulled her into a protective embrace.

"That's enough, Sky. Easy now. Uncle Soren is going to handle this for you." He turned his icy, lethal gaze toward Everett. "Is this your idea of an apology? Where's the woman we asked for?" Everett wiped a trickle of blood from his forehead and signaled his men with a jagged nod. The guards grabbed Thalia and threw her onto the floor like a sack of trash. Every person in that room wanted her dead. If she hadn't ordered Fiona to move Skylar to Golden Branch, none of this would have happened. The nightmare at Golden Branch was a hundred times worse than Juarez.

Without Everett's last-minute intervention, she'd be a corpse. Seeing the evidence of what they'd done to Skylar made Soren want to execute everyone involved on the spot-especially Thalia. 11:13 Bad Move, Uncle. You Sent Your Princess to the Mob...

I told them to ruin you! I wanted you dead! Go ahead, Skylar-be a man and kill me right now!" Surprisingly, hearing that made Skylar go cold and deathly calm. She looked Thalia right in her bloodshot eyes, her voice steady and low. "Thalia... death is a luxury you don't deserve. I'm going to make sure you feel every single thing I felt. I'm going to make you pray for an end that isn't coming." The girl who had been crying was gone. A hard, ruthless woman stood in her place. "Uncle Soren... keep her alive." "Whatever you say, Ms. Jefferson." Soren signaled the guards to drag Thalia away.
