And you…you can’t even show a little compassion?” ------------ When Abigail Remington's beautiful sister-in-law, Susanna, suddenly arrives at her house unannounced, everything starts to go wrong. With crocodile tears and a large amount of luggage, Susanna quickly makes herself at home in Abigail's life, stealing the attention of Abigail’s husband, Conrad. As Susanna wraps him around her finger, Abigail can’t help but feel left behind, especially when her husband can't see Susanna for who she truly is. Everything begins to revolve around Susanna - “Susanna is pregnant.” “Susanna is grieving.” “Susanna needs our help as family right now.” But no one ever asks Abigail what she needs. As she is constantly pushed aside for anything and everything Susanna needs, Abigail is forced to ask herself, is Susanna trying to become the second Mrs Remington? And will her husband, Conrad, fall for her tricks? Or is Abigail herself the one being tricked here? What's the secret between Susanna and Conrad that they are hiding from her?

AbigailI devoured the article like it might vanish if I blinked, my thumb scrolling faster than my mind could fully keep up. Casillas’ name leapt out at me in bold, black letters, followed by words that felt almost unreal in their finality: life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. I read the sentence twice, then a third time, letting it settle into my bones.A slow smile curved my lips. It wasn’t joy exactly. Joy felt too clean a word for what this was, but it was a sharp and deep satisfaction, a closing of a door that had haunted me for far too long. I leaned back into the seat, exhaling softly through my nose as I kept reading. The article detailed the courtroom scene, the judge’s remarks, and the visible reactions of the public. Casillas’ crimes were laid bare in unflinching language: trafficking, exploitation, abuse. Children. Always children.Part of me, a darker, more vindictive part, had hoped for a death sentence. I didn’t pretend otherwise. But as I read on, a di
Casillas turned his head sharply. “Watch your mouth,” he growled. “You’re forgetting who you’re talking to.”Germaine didn’t look at him. His gaze remained fixed on the darkened road ahead. “No,” he said quietly. “You’re forgetting.”Casillas’ jaw clenched. “What is all this?” he demanded. “This circus…this show of force.”Germaine exhaled slowly through his nose. “Early this morning,” he said, “an exposé on you dropped, a big one. Every major outlet picked it up within the hour.”Casillas scoffed, though the sound rang hollow even to his own ears. “An exposé?” he repeated. “That’s it? You tore apart my house because of a story?”Germaine turned then, finally looking at him. His expression was grim, stripped of the easy familiarity Casillas had always relied on. “It wasn’t unsubstantiated,” he said. “It was airtight.”Casillas’ pulse quickened. “A story can say anything,” he insisted. “People make claims all the time.”Germaine shook his head. “This one came with receipts. There were
Casillas was dragged out of sleep by rough hands clutching at his shoulders. He groaned, swatting blindly, irritation filling him before awareness followed. “Get off me,” he snapped thickly, his voice slurred with sleep. “Nellie, for God’s sake, let me sleep.”The hands did not retreat, but tightened. “You’re under arrest,” a man’s voice said, calm and unmistakably male. That wasn’t Nellie.Casillas’ eyes flew open. For half a second, his mind refused to assemble what it was seeing. The room was too bright, flooded with harsh white light. Shapes moved everywhere, shapes in dark uniforms with unfamiliar faces. Nellie was no longer beside him; she was standing near the far wall in a silk robe, crying openly as a police officer spoke to her in a low voice. His drawers were pulled open. His wardrobe stood gaping, clothes spilling out as officers rifled through it with methodical efficiency. “What the hell is this?” Casillas roared, pushing himself upright. “What are you doing in my house
AbigailDaniella didn’t come down for breakfast. It was such a small thing, really, the kind of absence that could easily be explained away by oversleeping or a lack of appetite. But I noticed it immediately. Recently, she only appeared after Alexander had left the house, slipping into the dining r
I held his gaze, jaw aching with restraint, and swallowed the violence of the thought as the room seemed to tilt slightly under me. Carefully, as though each word might detonate if mishandled, I asked Casillas whether he had put the plan he had told me about the last time I was here into motion.Th

ConradI brushed down the front of my shirt for the third time in as many minutes, though there wasn’t a single crease left to smooth. The fabric lay flat against my chest, pale and unassuming, chosen precisely because it didn’t draw attention. Casual, but not careless. Respectful, but not servile.
