In a different room...
-Aria POV-
A day passed by awfully, the sky turned darker as the time passed by. I have no idea why Joel is hanging out with that prick, sure I love the fact that Ender returns. I wanted to hug him, kiss his cheek, and welcomed him with an open arm. However, after that certain conflict transpired in Caleb's place.
My happiness for his survival was locked tight in my chest, a part of me wanted to smack his pretty face after what he said to me. I have no time to process due to the sudden arrival of Viktor's underlings. After that, things got worse than I thought. Viktor was about to strip me naked to his bare eyes.
