تسجيل الدخولBETH's POVAnyone who saw me would think I was mad, with the way I rushed back to the house to get my daughter. I knew my husband was on the run, and I had no idea when he'd be back, or if he would even consider coming home to take our daughter with him.But that man was the least of my problems. I just wanted to get my daughter and get the hell out of there.I was just a few minutes away from the house, when I got a message from Beth telling me that my husband was dead.Maybe it was wrong, but I felt a great surge of gratitude from that news and typed back, [Good riddance to bad rubbish, my friend.]Then I put my phone away and drew closer to the house, my heart still heavy because my daughter was still there. The gates were wide ajar, like whoever had opened them had left in a hurry and had not cared to close them up again. Probably the doing of that madman I called a husband.Ignoring the gates, I rushed to the front of the house, and used the keys I still had. But even when the
DANIEL's povI asked for some of my men to take care of Judy's body.Although I longed to hold her one last time, and care for her body myself, I couldn't particularly do that with Yara close to me. She would definitely suspect my unusual show of devotion, and that would only lead to more problems than I wanted to deal with.So I let the men handle her, and watched as they carefully wrapped her up and put her in the back seat of one of the men's cars."My subordinates will take Judy's body to the morgue." I said quietly to Yara, all the while forcing myself to keep the grief I felt from being evident in my voice. "In the meantime, why don't I take you home. It's been a long day and I bet you're already tired."Yara nodded slowly, and I reached for her hand, looped it through mine and led her to the car.My behavior was definitely commendable. Here I was, playing the dutiful husband, while I felt like I was dying on the inside from the loss of the woman I actually loved.As I drove Yar
YARA's pov"She's struggling so much, Yara." Daniel said quietly, I swear he actually put one foot in front of him like he wanted to take a step forward. But he just paused. "Whatever she has to say to you must be really important…"I fixed my eyes on Judy right then. Cold and calculated.She actually opened her mouth to speak, and I held my breath for a moment. But no words formed out of her mouth, and a couple of seconds later, her hands fell limply at her side.Daniel let out a long sigh, and backtracked his outstretched foot."She's dead now." He said quietly.Good. I thought to myself. She was dead, and she took the truth about my sight right with her. Perfect.But it had really been a close call, and for a moment there, I could have sworn I could hear Judy's malicious thoughts and intent. Even while she was dying, ratting me out was her greatest wish.What a b*tch.I’m well aware that one was never meant to speak ill of those who had gone off to the other side. But Judy was so
YARA's POVIt was a risky plan, but we took a leap of fate, and it all worked out.That was what I was thinking as I casually made my way to the scene of Judy's accident. Of course, Beth's husband was far gone by now…and hopefully, Beth had managed to escape with her daughter.I paused when I was a few feet away from where Judy lay. She had a bloody gash on her legs where she'd been run over, and had blood running down her nose, and the side of her head.She twitched when I scoffed, signaling that she was probably still alive, and I sneered.Surely, she wouldn't be alive for long."What a terrible fate you've had, Judy." I said out loud as I drew closer to her body, and then crouched beside her. "You really thought you had the upper hand. Look at you, one moment you were threatening Beth and I with the return of her husband, the next moment you're the one being run over by him."I chuckled lightly."What a crazy turn of events against you, no? you really did end up having a taste of y
BETH's pov“She would not have gotten very far, so we just need to wait for that silly husband of yours to make his way here.” Yara said confidently, while I raised a brow anxiously.“The plan is a bit risky. What if he realises it isn’t me?”Yara checked the time too and smiled cheekily. "He's drunk and full of hate, I’m sure he could see a gazelle and think it’s still you."I snickered in spite of how I was feeling."I most definitely wish." I said and checked the time again. Just then he began calling again and I looked up at Yara. "It's him!""Well, answer it and let's hear what he says."I nodded quickly and clicked the answer button."I'm parked close to the place you sent, where are you?" He asked gruffly and I looked at Yara who just nodded enthusiastically."I'll be out now. Just give me a sec." In a matter of seconds , I was out the door and headed to go see him. Yara by my side."I'm close by. You'll see me soon.""What are you wearing?" He asked.Previously, Yara had alr
YARA's povWith our plan set in motion, I connected the cam in the barn so we could keep tabs on Judy's behavior."We need her to create an escape route for her without her actually knowing." I said to Beth as I set up my camera. "That way she can run head first into our trap.""She's still bound by the ropes. How are we going to untie without being suspicious?"I thought about it for a moment and then smiled when the idea formed."We can offer her food. Maybe you can feign some forced sympathy, give her a glass of milk. Place it really close to her and If she's cunning enough-and I know she is- she'll break it and use the shards to break free."Beth nodded slowly."It seems like a great idea. Alright then! Why don't I try that."An hour later, Beth had served Judy the glass of milk, and we watched the very moment the idea of breaking the glass seemed to form in her head.She looked around mischievously, as though checking if she was being watched."She's actually taking the bait.""Y

Yara’s Pov“You really believe a neighbor hid your cat out of revenge,” Daniel said finally.“Yes,” I replied. “She’s petty. And cruel.”“And the cat is like your child,” he added.“Yes,” I said again. “Especially now. I feel so alone in that big house.”He turned away, the tension in the room easi
Yara’s Pov“You said the cat was missing,” he began calmly. “But Judy tells me you were talking about a neighbor.”“Yes,” I replied, my voice weak but steady enough to sound sincere. “I think she hid her.”Daniel stopped walking. “Why would a neighbor do that?”I clasped my hands together tightly,
