When my mother-in-law was poisoned and clinging to life, my toxicology knowledge was her only hope. I ended the call and grabbed my coat, ready to rush to the hospital. My husband blocked my path. "Hold on! It's the opening of Ella's haunted castle today. You're bailing to play ghost?" I stared at him, telling him about the dire situation. The poison needed to be neutralized within thirty minutes, or it would be fatal. He rolled his eyes. "Your janitor mom can drop dead for all I care. I'll toss some Monopoly money on her grave if it shuts you up. Don't try to cross me here." His best female friend draped herself over him. "In a hurry to chase some side guy? Girl, your face is longer than Herbert's when he is all revved up. Right, buddy?" Their shamelessness was almost laughable. The kicker? Herbert thought it was my mom dying.

"A mangy mutt," I said. "Too bad my family doesn't take in strays."Herbert's face twisted. "I lost my family and my mom. I'm on my knees begging, and you...""You chopped up your mom, shredded her, and let Ella feed her to the dogs," I cut him off. "Your family's gone because you're a dumbass. What's that got to do with me?"I paused, scoffing, "When you pinned me to that table to hack off my hands and feet, where was this love? When you choked me and called me a bitch? Oh, you love me now because you're broke and need my money.""No. That's not it." He shook his head frantically, scrambling toward me. "Believe me. I really love you."The word sounded like a bad joke from his mouth. His "love" was like tossing scraps to a pet.He petted me when he was in a good mood and kicked me when he was not. He got off on the control and my blind devotion.I drove my heel into his shoulder, sending him sprawling across the floor. "Keep your filthy hands off me. Get out!"I turned to my as

"It's not your fault. I was the one blind as a bat," I replied. "Had to learn it the hard way."Penelope's eyes turned to steel. "They're not slipping through the cracks."...Days later, she updated me. "Herbert got bailed out, since corpse desecration doesn't carry a heavy sentence. It's a short leash, though. Oscar woke up and kicked him out. Their stock is in freefall. They're staring down bankruptcy."I nodded, detached. Herbert's fate was no longer my concern.But her next words hit like a gut punch. "A maid said Herbert went nuts. He ran to the haunted castle, looking for Jeanne's hands and feet."I blinked, recalling his gleeful expression when he chopped her up.Penelope grimaced. "The staff told him Ella fed them to guard dogs."I was astounded, speechless.She continued, "He broke down. Collapsed outside the sealed backyard, crying and laughing. He talked to the dogs and called them Mom. People say he's gone off the rails."Herbert had lost it, but I didn't expect

...Herbert's punch didn't stop.Ella's face swelled, her pleas turning to venom. "You useless bastard! Who are you to hit me?"She clawed his face, leaving red streaks. "You think I gave a damn about a spineless leech like you? You're a joke!"Herbert's eyes blazed. He grabbed her rotting hand and smashed it against the ground. "It's all your fault! You tricked me into shredding her body. You did it on purpose. You wanted to obliterate her remains through my hands!"Ella screamed, her face twisting into a grotesque grin. "Now you know it's your mom? You were so damn proud when you hacked her up and tossed her in the shredder. You're a moron. Your mom was a meddling hag who deserved it. I did you a favor. Thank me!""Damn you!" Herbert roared, sinking his teeth into her cheek.They rolled on the ground, trading punches and curses."You badmouthed your mom, whining that she controlled you. Admit it. You wanted her gone so you can take over the company!""You stole our money wit

The leading officer frowned. "We're here on a report of corpse desecration. Come with us. Jeanne Walton's poisoning wasn't an accident. It was murder."..."It's Caroline!" Herbert yelled. "She hates my mom and wants to ruin me. You are her hired actors, right? Name your price. I'll pay double."He lunged again, but the officers moved to restrain him.The gate burst open, and black-suited bodyguards cleared a path for a commanding woman.Oscar struggled to his feet. "Mrs. Cole."Penelope approached, gently touching my bruised face. "I'm sorry for your suffering, sweetheart."Herbert froze, his mouth hanging open. "Is Caroline really an heiress?"Penelope ignored him, handing a file to the lead officer. "This evidence nails Jeanne's killer."She pointed at Ella, who flinched like she'd been zapped."Bullshit!" Herbert shouted, shielding her. "Caroline killed my mom, and now you're framing Ella? You're both trash!""Herbert, I'm scared," Ella sobbed. "They're here to get me. M

I laughed sharply, silencing them.My mother, Penelope Cole, had a trust fund with annual interest that could buy the Waltons' crumbling empire ten times over. Their business only survived because I'd quietly funneled money to cover their debts.A childhood kidnapping left me with scars, so Penelo

..."Fine, whatever. I'm staying put." I shrugged, shoving the antidote vial back into my pocket.Herbert Walton froze, having expected my tears or a desperate escape. I only gave him indifference.His eyes narrowed. "Scared, huh? Ella's opening is way more important than your lowlife mom."Ella

The body hit the floor, revealing a swollen and purple face. It was unrecognizable.With a grin, Herbert grabbed my hair and shoved me toward it. "Bark like a dog and apologize to Ella. I might let you off. Otherwise, your mom will be the castle's first real ghost."My scalp burned, but the absurd

...Herbert wiped blood and chunks of flesh from his face, laughing shakily. "Come on! Caroline is feeding you lies. Mom is on vacation. She sent me photos days ago. Caroline is just jealous, trying to sabotage Ella's big day."I watched his frenzy, memories flooding back.Jeanne despised me from
