The asylum hospital was no place for a woman like her. She could not be contained in any cell they had to offer. Many, many times she did think about just giving up, but a pure hatred for that red headed girl burned deep within her soul.

That is amazing!” Jackson clasped his hands over Eliza’s shoulders as he locked his gaze with her own. “Please tell me you are not fibing.” Eliza grinned a devilish grin before she shook her head with a
