Elias got there at 3:02 in the morning. He parked across the street and checked both directions before he crossed. He knocked twice. Nora opened the door.

He was thin, late forties, his eyes moving too fast. His hands shook. He looked at the women inside, then back at the door behind him. One hand stayed on the doorframe the whole time he talked. He wanted to leave. Anyone could see that.

"Sit down," Nora said.

He sat. He looked at Rachel and his face went pale.

"You," he said. "You're still al

  • The Barren Wife's Revenge    The Escape

    The footsteps got closer. Heavy boots on concrete. The guard was at the door.Nora looked at Vivian, then the window, then the door. She had no weapon. She didn't know how to fight.She grabbed a chair. Metal, light. She swung it at the window. The glass shattered."Out the window! Now!"The door opened. The guard filled the frame. Tall, wide, a dark coat. He saw Nora at the window and moved toward her.Nora ran, not for the door, straight at the guard. She wasn't going to fight him. She couldn't. She had never learned to throw a punch or block one, and she wasn't going to start now with a stranger twice her size, in a room with no time left to learn. She ran past him instead, grabbed Vivian, and pulled her toward the broken window.The guard reached for her. She slipped and fell hard, hitting the fire escape platform. Vivian went down beside her. The guard was at the window now, reaching through it.Nora grabbed Vivian and pulled her down the stairs. The metal was rusted, the steps n

"You're still alive.""I am. Now tell them what you know."He looked at Nora, then the file on the table, then the door again."I work for Desmond. I drive him places. I see things. I hear things.""Vivian," Nora said. "Where is she?""Warehouse, east side. Abandoned. Isolated. She's in a room on the second floor.""Guards?""One at her door. Two at the entrance. They work shifts, eight hours on, eight off.""How many cameras?""Six. Outside, inside, every hallway. There's a security room on the first floor. On

  • The Barren Wife's Revenge    The Next Move

    Nora walked into the laundromat with Rachel behind her. The door shut. The fluorescent lights buzzed overhead.Margaret got up. Her face went white. She stared at Rachel and didn't say anything for a second."Rachel." Her voice cracked on it. "You're alive.""I am. Ten years now."Margaret didn't move. She looked at the cane, then the face, then the worn coat."I looked for you. For years.""I know. I couldn't tell you I was alive. It was too dangerous.""You faked your death.""I had to. They were going to kill me. I didn't have a choice."Rachel crossed to the table and sat down. She set her cane on the floor by her chair."They hit me on the highway. Drove me off the road. My car flipped. I woke up in the hospital three weeks later. They told me it was an accident."Margaret sat down across from her, still pale. "Richard?""He knew. He came to see me once. Told me to leave, to disappear. Told me the next accident wouldn't leave a survivor."Nora sat down across from them. Priya sat

  • The Barren Wife's Revenge    The Bridge

    Nora got to Broad Street Bridge at midnight. The street was empty. She parked, got out, left her phone on the seat, and walked onto the pedestrian walkway.The wind came off the water. She pulled her coat tight and walked to the middle of the bridge. She stopped. She waited.Five minutes passed. Then ten. Nothing. No sound, no movement. She started to think no one was coming.Then she heard footsteps.A woman walked onto the bridge. Older, gray hair pulled back, a heavy coat, a cane in her right hand. She moved slow, careful, the way people move when they've been hurt before and don't trust their own legs anymore.She stopped a few feet from Nora."You're Nora Bishop.""Who are you?""My name is Rachel."Nora stared at her. Rachel. The woman from Margaret's file. The one who disappeared. The one they said might still be alive."Margaret said you were gone," Nora said. "She looked for you for years.""I know. I let her look. I couldn't tell her I was alive. It was too dangerous.""You

  • The Barren Wife's Revenge    The Interview

    Nina Chen took the chair across from Nora and set her bag down beside it. Her eyes went straight to the file."This is everything," she said. "This is what I've been waiting for."Nora opened it and spread the evidence across the table, photographs, spreadsheets, medical records, letters, names, dates, and walked her through it piece by piece."Petrov, typing the diagnosis code at six forty-seven, the night of the gala." She moved to the next photo. "Constance, reading over his shoulder." Then the third. "Adrian, watching from the doorway."Nina took notes without interrupting once. She asked a question here and there, quiet and precise, questions that said she already believed what she was seeing but needed it confirmed out loud.Nora slid the spreadsheet across. Twelve families. Twenty women. Seven years."This is Margaret's file," she said. "She was married to Arthur Kane. They did the same thing to her. She lost her baby. She lost everything."Nina looked at Margaret. Margaret nod

  • The Barren Wife's Revenge    Nowhere To Run

    Nora stopped running. She doubled over, chest burning, legs shaking. Trees crowded in on every side, dark and silent.Margaret staggered up beside her. Priya dropped to her knees a few feet off, gasping. They were deep in the woods now, far from the cabin, far from the man at the door.Nora looked back the way they'd come. Nothing but more trees, more dark."Did he follow us?" Priya's voice barely carried."I don't know."Nora listened hard. No footsteps. No voices. No headlights. Just wind and cold.She lowered herself to the ground. The dirt soaked through her jeans in seconds. She rested her palm on her stomach. Still there. Still safe. Still hers.The man at the cabin worked for someone in the network, someone determined to stop her. She didn't know who, or how many more were out there, or which of the people she trusted didn't deserve it."Marcus said he called the police," Margaret said. "So where are they?""I don't know.""Maybe they're coming."Nora shook her head slowly. "Do
