Emma didn’t look back as she hurried down the hallway, her footsteps light as a feather as she headed away from the room she’d locked Susanna in. There was a tightness in her chest as she passed other beauty treatment rooms, hearing low music come from beyond the doors. Her heart settled more the further she got away from the muffled screams behind the locked treatment room, until it barely made a dent in her focus. She had rehearsed every second of this, down to the order in which she would remove her uniform, the path she would take to the locker room, even the exact time she had before anyone noticed Susanna was missing.Twenty minutes, maybe less. That was her window.Her pulse raced, but it wasn’t fear that gripped her, it was adrenaline. A pulsing, giddy energy was buzzing under her skin as she ducked into the staff only corridor and pushed open the door to the changing room. She didn’t bother turning on the lights; she knew where Poppy’s locker was. She had chosen it deliberate

SusannaThen she tilted her head and met my gaze, adding, “Though it won’t be hard. You already have wonderful skin.”It was obvious flattery, but it worked. My lips curved in the smallest smirk. At least she knew how to talk to a client properly.She gestured politely toward the adjoining dressing room. “You’ll find a robe inside, Miss. Please change and I’ll prepare everything.”I went in and slipped out of my clothes with ease, pulling on the silk robe provided by the salon. While buttoning it up, I caught sight of myself in the small mirror and ran a hand through my hair. The woman staring back looked tired, yes, but still beautiful. She just needed a little polish, that’s all. I’d been neglecting myself with all the stress over Abigail, Conrad’s cold shoulder, and Liliana’s endless whining. No more of all that nonsense. I was going to start pampering myself again. There was truly nothing better than having someone wait on me hand and foot.When I returned to the room, Emma was al

SusannaMy lips twisted into a slow, smug smile as I listened to Marceline’s voice on the other end of the call. “Really?” I said, raising my brow in pleased surprise, unable to hide the delight creeping into my voice at the promise she had just made.She confirmed it, flatly. I nodded to myself, savoring every word. “Thank you, Marceline,” I replied, my voice syrupy sweet. She ended the call without another word, which didn’t bother me. She had said all I needed to hear.I pulled the phone away from my ear and stared at it for a moment, a small laugh bubbling from my throat. Finally, I didn’t have to worry anymore. Abigail was going to be dealt with. And not by me, either. I wouldn’t have to lift a finger. All I had to do now was sit back and watch the show. It felt like cold champagne down my throat.And as if that wasn’t enough, I had something else to enjoy too; rubbing it in Liliana’s face. She really thought I was useless without her, like I couldn’t walk on my own unless she

AbigailRoxy’s eyes were wide under the hydrating sheet mask she wore and her expression was a mixture of horror and disbelief. I had barely taken a breath in the last ten minutes, recounting everything that had gone down back at the apartment; the tears, the gun, the way even after seeing Susanna’s true nature, Conrad had nothing but excuses for her.I had shown up at her place unannounced, still running on adrenaline and nerves, and though she had clearly been in the middle of a self care night—her hair was up in a towel, her fruit scented candles were burning, her feet soaking in warm water—Roxy hadn’t hesitated to pull me inside and settle on her couch with me.“I really thought I was going to die,” I admitted quietly, leaning into the back of the couch. “Thank God the gun wasn’t loaded."Roxy reached over and pulled my hand into hers without hesitation. Her grip was tight and solid. That one gesture alone told me just how deeply that possibility had shaken her too. And I hated th

AbigailI saw the shift in Susanna’s eyes before she moved.Tears welled up as if on cue, her steps shaking and her voice cracking with practiced fear as she stumbled toward Conrad like a wounded bird. “Conrad… thank God you’re here,” she said. “She’s gone mad… Abigail’s lost her mind… she brought me here to hurt me…”Quietly, I slipped the photo into the pocket of my hoodie, never taking my eyes off her. Whatever game she was playing, I wasn’t about to be caught off guard. Conrad just stood there stunned stupid, his eyes locked on her with an unreadable expression. And then she fell into his arms. That’s when everything went left. One moment she was clinging to him, and the next she spun out of his grasp like some deranged ballerina and turned. My heart shot into my throat as I saw the gun in her hand and her arm aimed straight at me.I didn’t even think before I ducked behind Conrad, using him as a shield. It was an ironic thing to do, hiding behind the very man who had let all of

Susanna“Give it to me!” I screamed again, my voice splitting with raw desperation. But Abigail didn’t even flinch.Instead, she tilted her head to the side, watching me like she was observing some pathetic creature in a zoo enclosure. Her voice came out calm, even almost bored when she answered me. “Why would I, Susanna? You didn't lose your cool until I pulled this out. So why should I let go of the one thing that finally made you crack?”My mouth opened, but nothing came out. Rage and panic all tangled in my chest, choking me. I didn’t even know if the livestream was still going. Had I managed to destroy the camera? Or had it caught every scream and every scrap of panic that had just bled out of me like an open wound? I couldn’t think about that now. I had to take back control. Abigail might have caught me off guard, but she was still… her. The girl who used to look away under my gaze. The woman who couldn’t manage to speak up for herself. That person couldn't just vanish in a f

SusannaAbigail hit me in the side of the head again, even harder this time, and I almost blacked out. As I struggled to stay upright, I was vaguely aware of her dragging me, and tightening something around my wrist. By the time I got my bearings, she had knotted a rope around my wrists, and tied one end to somewhere behind the couch she had dragged me to.She slammed a stack of documents on the small table in front of me, and the moment she did, something in my chest twisted. She gestured for me to pick them. I tried not to flinch and tried to play it cool, but my fingers felt a little numb as I reached for them. It was difficult with the way she had tied my wrists together, but I managed it. She was too calm, too damn confident, even in the way she held herself and I didn’t like it, not one bit. And the way she just stood there in that shapeless h

SusannaI was still lost in my daydreams of what I would do to the server when the car slowed to a stop and the driver glanced back at me. “We’re here, ma’am.”I looked up from my laps and looked out the window. A multi-storey building rose before me, all chipped paint and faded brick, like it had been built decades ago and then forgotten by time. No shine, no polish, no class. I sneered. So this is where he lives?What an absolute joke. The sheer nerve of that man to lay a hand on me, when the ring on my finger could pay his rent for five years and furnish the entire building. Yet he’d acted like a vigilante, like he had the right to involve himself in a matter that didn’t concern him. Like I wasn’t the Susanna Remington.

SusannaI leaned back in the plush reclining chair, sighing as the warm water bubbled around my feet. The spa always smelled like lavender and citrus, and that familiarity made it soothing. A soft towel was draped over my legs, and the nail technician was diligently filing the nails on my left hand while my right held my phone just above the water. I was watching a video of some influencer's vacation in the Maldives, my eyes half-lidded in relaxation.Then my phone vibrated in my hand. It was a call from an unsaved number. I didn't recognize it, and I didn’t care to. Without hesitation, I hit decline and went back to the video, rolling my eyes.The phone buzzed again almost immediately; it was the same unsaved number. I frowned.Twice in a row? What kind of idiot… My finger hovered over the decline button again when a thought struck me. Was it Harry’s father?He used to do this sometimes, calling me from random numbers, burner phones, maybe. He hadn’t done it in a while, but I also ha
