The Defiance novel

---- phone and have make my lovely way home. I snatched my phone and quickly walked myself out of his office. I appreciated the air just outside his office as it smelled like freedom. How dare him! He didn't get the right to act like that, like I was nothing and just a mere worker for him when it was my position to yell at him for the way he acted and demanded invalid things from me! I stomped across the hallway until I successfully got into the elevator and outside the building.

I hailed a cab and told the driver my address. I was finally seated comfortably, I let out an exhausted breath and leaned against the back rest. My phone vibrated from my bag and I fished it out of it just to see a unknown number messaged me, saying-- "T want to say sorry because I know I upset you but I won't say sorry for giving you that rule.

Well, I would really like to see him try and manipulate me with his stupid rules and watch me defy every single one of them. I would never ever be manipulated by someone like him again. Never again! Ever!

Now, the real thing is-- "How am I supposed to tell my brother that he's back?", I searched myself for an answer when the cab stopped right in front of my house and saw my brother's car parked quietly on the garage. ---- Hell will surely be on the loose. And how will I handle itagain?
