Liya's POV
It felt like a figment of my imagination at first when my body roused from a deep sleep, but when I heard the light squeaking of my door as it was slightly pushed open, I jumped to alert. The palpitation of my heart filled my ears as my fingers clenched the sheets beneath me. I wondered if it was the triplets again, trying once more to convince me to warm up to them. Or could they be here to drop their charade and continue their bullying once again?
I kept quiet, not even daring to breathe.
My mind raced with thoughts of what to do, of how to fight back if they tried anything, but I was helpless like ever before. I blinked hard, trying to adjust my eyes to the night. Instead of the three tall figures I was expecting yet dreading to see, my eyes fell on the figure of a woman.
