Hung for a Lie Chapter 10
With a deadpan look, I stared at Giselle and Palmer’s faces through the computer screen and marveled at their acting. If Giselle and Palmer hadn’t left Lucy to die, dumped my mother’s ashes, and taken my kidney, I might just believe that they loved him. Shaking my head, I asked Ceris Whitaker, who was sitting across from me, “Is everything ready for the next phase?” Ceris snapped her fingers with a smile. “Of course. Relax. They will soon experience the hopelessness you went through in no time.” Nodding, I looked out the window. ‘Mom, Lucy, ‘Rest assured that I’ll avenge you soon enough.’… Once Giselle and Palmer were gone, Theo passed out in the villa. When he came to, he was back in the warehouse where Lucy had been hung to death. “Giselle, Palmer, what are you doing? Put me down this instance.” Thrown into a full-blown panic, Theo put up a fight in the air. Giselle and Palmer sharpened their blades right before his eyes. Armed with sharp knives, they drew

The location was East City Hospital. “Who gave me the call earlier?” The moment Giselle stepped into the hospital, she scoured the hall for the nurse who had contacted her. “You must be Dean Thornwall’s wife.” An average-looking nurse, a file in hand, emerged. Eyeing the nurse warily, Giselle replied, “I am. Are you the thief who called earlier?” The nurse rolled her eyes and handed the file to Giselle. She said, “Here are the details of the person who was brought in. Please verify the information and see if it matches him.” Giselle took the folder and flipped through the pages. This was Dean’s personal information for sure. However, it made no sense that Dean would die from burn injuries. “Yes, these are my husband’s details, but I don’t believe for a second that he’d be burned for no reason. You must have gotten the wrong guy.” Shaking her head, the nurse turned on her heel and led the way. “Come with me.” As they walked, the nurse explained, “The cops said

Theo was dead either way, whether he spoke or not. For the first time, despair had a firm grip on Theo. “Come on. What on earth did you mean by that?” Outraged, Giselle gave the rope around Theo a hard yank and asked. Shivering all over, Theo closed his eyes and replied, “I-I did a little something to make you think I was the one getting the surgery. The guy in the next ward needed a kidney, so I sold it for a bit of cash.” “Ahh!” A blood-curdling scream echoed through the villa. In a moment of fury, Giselle kicked Theo across the room, and he slammed headfirst onto the coffee table. “I can’t believe you sold Dean’s kidney for money!” Blood seeped from the top of his head to his chin.Theo begged for his life in fear. “I’m sorry! I made a mistake! “I was wrong to get greedy over the money and sell Dean’s kidney. This is all on me. I’m sorry!“Please, Giselle. If there’s any trace left of what we once shared, please spare me.” All the while, he kept his head l

Sitting inside the Maybach. Giselle floored the accelerator and sped toward the villa. The strong push of the acceleration threw Theo back, and he let out a yelp. “Giselle, I’ll apologize to him. Just easy behind the wheel, please?” Palmer slapped duct tape over Theo’s mouth in disdain. “Shut up, monster!” Terrified to pull the tape off, Theo let out a whimper before buckling up and holding the handle for dear life. Soon enough, the villa was right in front of them. The moment they arrived, Giselle dragged Theo out of the car and into the villa. “Click!” It was brightly lit inside the estate. Staring at the empty room, Giselle pursed her lips and cried out loud, “It’s me, Dean. “I made a mistake. I shouldn’t have sent Theo to handle Lucy. I was wrong to force a kidney transplant on you. I never should have scattered your mother’s ashes, too!“It’s all my fault. Please come out.” The villa was silent, only broken by the trio’s ragged breathing. A minute later

The voices in the ward went on. “You sure are ruthless. It’s bad enough that you let the guy’s sister hang to death, but you even scattered his mother’s ashes away.” “Palmer got the sister killed, and Giselle dumped the asses. What does any of that have to do with me?” By then, Giselle had had enough. Like a maniac, she kicked the door open in a fluster and grabbed Theo by the collar. She grilled, “Lies! You’re lying, right?” Caught off guard, Theo looked at Giselle in a fluster, his eyes betrayed his fear. “Giselle, w-why are you back?” Theo’s attitude said it all. Tears rolled down Giselle’s cheeks. Releasing her grip, Giselle staggered back in disbelief and pain. As it turned out, the body in the warehouse did belong to Lucy, and Giselle had tossed away the ashes of Dean’s mother. W-What the hell had she done? The storybook in Palmer’s arms hit the ground with a thud. Palmer shook her head, trying to dissociate herself from the incident. “Theo said Aunt

In the hospital, Giselle and Palmer persuaded Theo to get a physical examination. “You just came out of your kidney transplant, and Dean dragged you out. You’re bound to be struggling.” Looking a bit caught out, Theo cleared his throat and said, “I’m fine. I’m not hurt. I don’t need a doctor.” Since Giselle wouldn’t let it go, Theo got up and pushed both her and Palmer out of the ward. “Now, now. Stop worrying about me. You’ve been looking after me for days. You should head home and get some proper rest.” Palmer pouted. “But Theo, it’s been a while since you read me a story…” Hiding his annoyance, Theo picked up a brand-new storybook and pressed it into her palm half-heartedly. “Have a read for now. Once I’m all better, I’ll read you the story.” Palmer stared blankly at the book of fairy tales. Her mind drifted back to when she couldn’t read yet. She used to often pester her father to read this very book to her.It didn’t matter how busy he was. If she wanted, he woul
