A day has passed by since Venus and Pearl were staying at the safe-house. This place was two hours away from the minor family's mansion. It was a small house with two floors. In the bottom floor there was the living room and the kitchen that were connected to each other. While in the top floor there is a bathroom and a bedroom with one bed.

All the things that were hidden inside of the secret room were brought to the safe-house and they were concealed in plastic bags. They needed to empty the room since the main family was going to inspect it today, and there couldn't be anything suspicious left behind.

One bodyguard was sent to the safe-house to remain outside to guard the entrance and keep Venus safe just in case someone were to find her. Which it was something that was most probably not going to happen since nobody knew of this place that is far away from the city. Only the minor family knew where this safe-house was located.

Pearl hasn't eaten anything in a day, and she was basically starving. Yet, she also didn't want to eat the food that Venus brought her since she was afraid that it could be poisoned. She didn't trust Venus at all, especially after everything she went through the night before yesterday.

Fortunately, she wasn't tormented the whole day yesterday since Venus spent most of her day in the living room watching television and reading books while Pearl was staying inside of the bedroom, still handcuffed and doing absolutely nothing other than praying and crying.

Venus had attached a chain to the steel handcuffs that Pearl was wearing, just to make sure that she wouldn't get out of the bedroom. The chain was only long enough to allow her to go to the bathroom, but that was basically it. There was no escape for her, and that fact terrified her. Was this really the way that Pearl was going to die?

That morning, Venus finally went to the bedroom after sleeping the whole night at the couch from the living room. She had completely fallen asleep there, and didn't went to check if Pearl had eaten her food from yesterday.

When she entered the bedroom, she realized that the plate of porridge was still untouched on the floor. The food was probably already bad after being there for the whole day yesterday.

Was Pearl really trying to test Venus' patience? Because if she was, then she has succeeded to piss her off today.

"Are you not going to eat it?" Venus asked Pearl as she crossed her arms, leaning against the door frame.

Pearl was sitting on the floor with her knees up and her chin resting on them. She gazed up at Venus and shook her head quietly with a serious expression on her face. Her eyes were still puffed from crying all day yesterday, but her stare was still fierce as if to prove that she was not afraid of the person standing in front of her.

"You know that you're wasting food, right?" Venus' voice sounded threatening as she approached Pearl and crouched down in front of her. Their eyes locking into each other as they faced one another.

"I know, but I don't want it." Pearl responded in a defying tone, only provoking Venus' anger even more.

"I'm not asking you if you want it. I'm telling you to eat it because you are wasting food." Venus frowned as she slid the plate closer to Pearl.

Pearl gave her a glare this time, "And I'm telling you that I don't want it! I don't want any food that you give me!"

The thin rope of patience that Venus had left immediately snapped after hearing this and with an abrupt move she grasped Pearl's loose hair, launching her face towards the plate.
