The Twist of Fate Chapter 48: William's Regret
Rachel Stone appeared in the doorway, weapon drawn, two agents flanking her. She took in the scene instantly: The Shepherd with a gun to Jackson's head, Lucy and Isabel armed with kitchen knives, the laptop downstairs still streaming surveillance footage."Lower your weapon," The Shepherd said calmly. "All of you. Or I pull this trigger.""You pull that trigger, you're dead two seconds later," Rachel said."True. But Mr. Monroe is still dead. Is that an acceptable outcome?" The Shepherd's voice remained conversational, almost friendly. "I don't think Lucy would agree."Lucy's hands shook around the knife handle. Her father's face was pale, his breathing shallow. He'd been sick recently, his heart weak. The stress alone might kill him."What do you want?" Rachel asked."Safe passage out of here. Once I'm clear, I'll release Mr. Monroe unharmed.""We both know that's not happening.""Then we have a problem." The Shepherd adjusted his grip on Jackson. "Because I'm a professional, Agent S
The Twist of Fate Chapter 47: The Stalker Revealed
William's voice was tight with barely controlled rage. "Where are you? Exactly.""About ten miles from the safe house. Old industrial park off Route 47." Lucy glanced at Isabel. "We're safe. For now.""Stay there. I'm coming to get you.""William, listen to me. Isabel knows who Mirabel hired. Three people. Professional killers who've been tracking us for weeks.""And you trust her? The woman who tried to destroy your marriage? Who helped Mirabel plan God knows what?""I don't trust her. But I believe her. She's terrified, William. She knows the prosecutor is going to revoke her plea deal. She's desperate.""Desperate people are dangerous.""So are professional assassins." Lucy kept her voice steady. "She wants our help to disappear. New identity, money to start over. In exchange, she tells us everything and testifies before she leaves."Silence on the other end. Lucy could almost hear William's mind working through the angles."Put her on speaker," he finally said.Lucy switched to sp
The Twist of Fate Chapter 46: Separation
William stared at Lucy like she'd lost her mind. "Absolutely not. We're not becoming vigilantes.""I'm not suggesting we break the law. I'm suggesting we be proactive instead of reactive." Lucy stood, pacing the length of their living room. "Every time we wait for Rachel's team, for the legal system, something else happens. Someone else gets hurt.""And you think going after professional killers while pregnant is a better plan?""I think using ourselves as bait while Rachel's team closes in is a better plan than hiding in a safe house for months."William ran his hands through his hair, frustrated. "Lucy, these aren't amateur criminals. These are people Mirabel specifically chose because they're ruthless and effective. They won't hesitate to kill you.""Which is exactly why waiting makes no sense. They know where we live. Where we work. Where my father lives. A safe house only works if they don't find us. And people like that always find their targets eventually.""So your solution is
The Twist of Fate Chapter 45: Trying to Explain
Three days after Mirabel's arrest, Lucy sat in the courthouse waiting room, her hands folded over her barely visible baby bump. William paced nearby, his phone pressed to his ear as he spoke with their lawyer.The preliminary hearing would determine if there was enough evidence to hold Mirabel for trial. Rachel had assured them it was a formality, the evidence was overwhelming, but Lucy couldn't shake her anxiety."They're ready for us," William said, pocketing his phone.Inside the courtroom, Mirabel sat at the defense table in an orange jumpsuit, her expensive lawyer whispering urgently in her ear. When Mirabel's eyes found Lucy, there was no remorse. Only cold hatred.The hearing proceeded methodically. The prosecutor presented evidence: the audio recordings from the hospital basement, security footage, forensic analysis of the potassium chloride. Brad's written statement detailing decades of conspiracy.Mirabel's lawyer objected repeatedly, arguing entrapment, claiming the recordi
The Twist of Fate Chapter 44: The Descent
The service elevator descended into darkness.Lucy's captor, the fake nurse whose name tag read "Jennifer Walsh," kept the syringe pressed against Lucy's side. Her other hand gripped Lucy's arm with professional efficiency."Who are you really?" Lucy asked as the elevator passed the ground floor, continuing down to the basement levels."Does it matter?""You're not one of Mirabel's usual people. Too professional. Former military?"Jennifer's jaw tightened. "Former special forces. Dishonorably discharged. Mrs. Carson pays well for people with my skills and lack of scruples.""She's going to kill me. You know that.""Probably. But I'll be long gone with my money before that happens."The elevator jolted to a stop at sub-basement three. The doors opened onto a dimly lit corridor that smelled of disinfectant and decay. Hospital maintenance tunnels, Lucy realized. Perfect for moving someone without being seen.Jennifer pushed her forward. "Walk. Third door on the left."Lucy's mind raced.
The Twist of Fate Chapter 43: The Setup
Dr. Grace Chen sat across from Lucy in a private medical office, her expression carefully neutral. But Lucy could see the tension in her shoulders, the way her hands trembled slightly as she reviewed the chart."You understand what we're asking you to do?" Lucy said quietly."You want me to falsify your medical records. Make it appear your pregnancy is high risk when it's actually perfectly healthy." Dr. Chen set down the chart. "Yes, I understand. And I'll do it. It's the least I can do after what I helped Amanda do to your father.""We need it to be convincing," William said from his position by the door. "Mirabel has medical knowledge. She'll know if the records are obviously fake.""I'll make them authentic. Elevated blood pressure readings, protein in the urine suggesting preeclampsia, ultrasounds showing concerning measurements." Dr. Chen pulled out her laptop. "I'll input the false data into the hospital system myself. Anyone checking your records will see a pregnancy in troubl
