“It wasn’t.” Was there any use in attempting to defend myself? I didn’t know. My total physique harm from attempting to cease from having a meltdown.

He was by no means supposed to seek out out like this—or in any respect, for that matter.

“You’re leaving as quickly as your issues are packed.” Xavier stormed over to the door. “And then you definately’re sending your sister again right here.”

“Evidently Xavier has came upon that Mia was impersonating you. He’s requesting you go over there instantly.”

“What?!” My sister’s distraught squawk grated on my nerves. “I assumed Mia was dealing with it!”

“I don’t know the small print, Amanda, however go along with the driving force and clean issues over with the Kings. We’ll ship you your issues very first thing tomorrow morning.”

“I can’t simply go like that, dad!”

“Amanda,” my father snapped. “Go. Now. We’ll type out the small print later.”

Chapter Eight

Xavier

It took all of three days for me to appreciate what a colossal mistake I’d made when sending the pretend Amanda—or somewhat Mia—again to her household’s house in alternate for her sister.
