Chapter 22

Prolonged malnourishment and torment had turned Nadine from a rosy-cheeked, healthy woman to nothing more than skin and bones. Marie had only slapped her once, but she collapsed on the floor, unable to get up. That wasn't enough to appease the former, though. She pounced on Nadine and grabbed her by the collar, slapping her a few more times. The prison wardens noticed this and shot forward to stop Marie. If not for that, Nadine would probably have died then and there. Despite being restrained by two prison wardens, Marie didn't stop screaming at Nadine. "Why weren't you the one in that accident, you pathetic bitch? Why aren't you the one who's in a coma?" Nadine only found her nasty words mocking. When Enzo had been in love with her, Marie had treated her like she was her own. She'd basically thought of Nadine as her daughter. Now that Enzo despised her, Marie's attitude had also done a 180. She didn't even bother referring to Nadine by name now—the latter was just a bitch to her.
