“You’re such a disappointment, Nicole. Do you know how much I had to sacrifice for YOU?”
Nikki looks down at her feet. “Cass I-”
“Shut UP. You’re a no good runt without the spine to be of any use in my organisation, and too much like mum to be trusted with any kind of responsibility in my clubs. I can’t even rely on you in the ring, you’d just lose me more matches. What good are you to me, Nicole? What do I get for everything I’ve done for you?”
“I’m sorry.”
Cassie shakes her head. “You know when I learned that love and attachments to others are a fatal weakness, Nicole? The day I realised how much better off I’d have been if I just tossed you in a dumpster after mum and dad died and never looked back. But I couldn’t, because I loved my baby sister. But no more. I’m free of you now. Kasumi. Kelly. They’re the sisters I deserve.”
