DEAF CLOWN
Staring at the two family members who returned her gaze with amused faces, Zoe decided that she would pay them back soon. She always had the last laugh. She just has to be patient and calculative, just like the other times. They would pay. She swore vehemently.
"Are you done laughing?" She finally asked them with a faux smile, when their laughter abated; not wanting them to bask in the thrill that their sudden laughter had irked her no small deal.
"We could continue if you want." Derek replied, determined to humiliate the girl who had dared to taint his cousin's reputation.
"I don't see why you should. There's no clown here." She stated, folding her arms across her chest, ignoring the voice in her head that was actually telling her to stop confronting the handsome Alpha's son, and walk away. No. She never run from a battle like this one.
