244 Chapter 244

My face contorted, and I think a little bit of vomit rose in the back of my throat as I considered what it would be like to be handcuffed to Christian.

Elliott's voice was still gruff as he continued. "The bottom line is, you're gonna do what your sister says, what Aaron says, and what I say. Now, go make me a sandwich."

Still in shock at his attitude, I asked, "What kind of."

"Just go!" Elliott cut me off, pointing at the door.

I wanted to yell at him, to tell him I thought we may have brought back the wrong person because the Elliott I know would've never talked to me like that, but I said nothing, only stood, swallowing my pride and my tears, and headed straight for the bedroom door.
