Chapter 21
She had been staring at the marble floor, the smooth white letting the light that came from the chandelier shine like glittering gold when two slices of bread were brought in front of her face . Just the smell of the butter wafting across her nose had her mouth water at the sight of it . Her stomach grumbled and she licked her lips .

Lifting her head up, she saw Damien who was speaking to his father while his hand hung in the air . Taking the opportunity, she took hold of it and quickly started to eat it . In a span of seconds, the two loaves of bread had disappeared into her stomach . As she licked the breadcrumbs off the tips of her fingers, she felt as if someone was watching her .
At first, she thought it was Damien but the man was busy eating his own meal and drinking something red which Penny guessed it to be blood . The thought of him consuming blood made her stomach flip and twist . She had never been in the company of vampires before less pureblooded vampires to see them drink blood . With the continued gaze, Penny finally looked ahead of her to see not one but two pair of eyes staring down at her . One with absolute disgust while the elder woman's lips were set in a thin line of annoyance .
"Ah, it's making my eyes hurt by merely looking at her . Did you even see how she ate? There are crumbs all over the floor," complained Grace to her mother without keeping her voice down .
As soon as Penny's eyes had narrowed, in the same haste, it had turned back to normal when she realized the two women noticing her change in expression which came out rude . Rude because none of the slaves ever had the nerve to look back at their owners or any higher-ups until now .
"What are you looking at?" Grace questioned Penny, one of her thin eyebrows raising up in question while trying to show who was the lowly creature in the room which was Penny .
If the people in the room could hear her thoughts, by now Penny would have been hung outside like a dry cloth under the sun to dry until death struck her but fortunately none of them could .
"Stop ordering my pet, Grace . If you want to order someone go buy one yourself," Damien had finished the blood tea, leaving it in a clattering sound on the table which broke the women's gaze from Penny to him .
"Why?" questioned Grace, "We are family, shouldn't we share the things together . "
"Grace is right," Penny heard the mother agree to what her daughter just said and before the woman could say anything more, Damien let out a tired sigh .
His stepmother hadn't finished speaking yet he had stood up from his seat . Handing another loaf of bread to her, he spoke, "I found her . I paid for her and I was the one who brought her here . Now if you see closely, everything here indicates I, me and myself . Grace, did you forget . Your elder brother doesn't share buy your own toys to play and stay far from mine," Damien smiled looking at Grace who wasn't happy with what she heard from him .
Now that Penny had been fed, she came to notice the tense atmosphere making her wonder if she was the reason for it . She didn't know why something felt off . It seemed that Quinn's had three children but their relationship didn't seem like the normal family . Not that she was someone who knew what came under normal the terms of family relationship but she sure did feel something to be off here .
But then, he leaned over to his older sister, dropping in a kiss on her cheek and then instructed Penny, "Follow me," Penny bent her head before following Damien . Seeing him walk through the hall and towards the entrance of the mansion, she asked him,
"Where are we going?"
"To hell . Are you going to try running away?" he asked without looking at her .
