gut-rotting
that describes Shauna in a nutshell. She's a cancer. Don't care that she thinks Larry loves Tam more. Don't care that she had a bad childhood. The fact that she blames another child for her issues is stupefying. Shauna is who she is, because she chose to be the soulless succubus that she is. She is her father's daughter, that’s for sure.
Is Larry so clueless that he doesn't see that Shauna HATES Tam? Or is it willful ignorance?
I hope Tam becomes smarter about what's going on around her. Shauna should always be suspect #1 when it comes to Tam and hopefully Tam will become a little shrewder. It could save her life. And playing games with Carter might get her immature butt killed. Does she not know how serious this is? Maybe Shauna does need to get a hold of her for a minute.
Glad to see that Carter is a smart cookie and knows Shauna for what she is. That confrontation in the bathroom was EVERYTHING.
And then we come to the latter part of the chapter. I'm glad they didn't sleep together. Somehow, it was more meaningful the way it was written. I like that. And Carter not being who we thought he was, was not surprising, but was, if you know what I mean. LOVED IT.
There's still the convo between Clancy and Larry. What did he find out? I hope Mikhail continues to be one step ahead of them.
Shauna is a necessary evil, I guess. I kinda hope that she ends up killing Larry or they take each other out. Crazy, I know. I really want Shauna DEAD. Don't care when, how or by whom, but at some point she needs to DIE, but not before there is some amount of torture.
I hope Larry gets to see Shauna for what she is and what his handiwork has caused. I hope he is HORRIFIED. But then, he's Larry "Black Heart" Hooks, so it might take more than that to cause such an emotion.
Tam and Mikhail might not be the typical couple, but they're going to be a couple. How she will react when she finds out that he's not who she thinks he is and has something to do with her being in the vise of the FEDS, now that might cause them to split.
Really good update, Chica. Really good. The rating doesn't go high enough for the score I'd like to give you. Stellar.
Author's Response: When it comes to Shauna hating Tamryn, Larry is willfully ignorant. Tamryn's refusal to tell him about all the mean and spiteful things Shauna has done to her throughout the years hasn't helped. More on that in future chapters.
What Larry found out from Clancy will be revealed in the next chapter or the one following, and it's going to be BIG.
Trouble is on the horizon for Shauna, and Daddy might not be able to help her this time.
Mikhail's secret is bound to come out, and when it does, you know it won't be well received.
Thanks for reading and for the awesome review, BellaChica!!! I really appreciate it.
