Mysterious Little Wife

"I didn't expect you guys to hide in South City!"

As there was no one else in the ward, Lillianna removed her sunglasses.

Maria hurried to lock the door. "Lillianna," she called, her voice trembling as she took two steps closer.

Lillianna shifted her position and faced Maria. Her eyes were cold, and her lips were set in a scowl. "What is your reason for hiding in South City? Are you afraid of death?"

Immediately, Lacey dashed forward and drew Maria close behind her. "Don't even bother opening your mouth if you can't speak politely!" She warned Lillianna as she glanced at her sharply.

Lillianna grunted softly and shrugged, seemingly amused by Lacey's protectiveness of her mother.

"Lacey, do you have a bad memory? Did you forget what dad said?"

"Lillianna." Maria's voice stuttered from sobs.

She could never understand why Lillianna was so hostile towards them.

Lillianna ignored Maria's sorrowful expression. She took a mischievous look out the window and said, "Dad said to get your *ss back to Klosa and stay out of South City. Otherwise—" 

Turning back with a grin on her face, she continued, "You'll die a horrible death!"

"Lillianna, please don't tell him we're here. We'll leave right away!" Maria pleaded as she hurried to the closet and started packing. "Lillianna, I beg you not to tell your father about today. We'll get out of here as soon as we can!"
