Behave yourself!" I remained silent for a while, still unable to accept the fact that I was being unlawfully detained.
Who else but the Hawk family had such power? Was it because I rushed to confront Marcelo yesterday that the person behind this could no longer sit still? But what about the law?

Sitting on the ground, I calmly accepted Marcelo's hateful gaze. If there wasn't a barrier between us, I had no doubt he would've tornapart.
"Do you thinkbeing locked up means you'll be set free? You're too naive. Do you know who you stabbed with that knife?" I continued, "Lying in court will only make things worse for you.
