oziah’s face was dark with anger. “Kaelyn, you’ve been bullying Jasmine for over twenty years. Now, you’re pushing her to the brink just because she wronged you once? Do you even know that she’ll be behind bars this time and that her entire life will be ruined!?”
I set my fork down calmly. “That’s exactly what I’m aiming for.”
She made me live in her shadow for half my life and also caused me to die tragically in my previous life.
