FORTY EIGHT

Mani's Pov

"Don’t let Victoria bother you." Zoey says when we walk back into her room.

"I’m not bothered." I said, which was nothing but a big lie.

I was indeed bothered. I tried not to think of what had happened in the dining room, but the image of Victoria's hand on Sin’s lap clouded my mind.

We seemed to have escaped whatever obstacle had been in our way in Paris with Jason not here, but now I had Victoria to handle here.

Just when will I be free from all this drama?

I was certain I was on the list of Victoria's most hated people, maybe because of Sin, but I was certain there was more to it.

" See!. You say you aren’t bothered, but your mind seems to be far away." Zoey says, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"It’s nothing." I said, giving her a fake smile, though I was certain that I looked constipated. "I better call it a night; it’s late and I want to rest. I haven’t really had the time to get a good night's sleep."

"Sure," she says, but I could see the worried look on her face.
