When Mom Wants Me to Join Her in Death Chapter 9
"So you and Nicole teamed up to kill me?"They really had gone all in on this.Nicole was my mother's younger sister, so she was my aunt. But she was the illegitimate daughter no one in the family would ever admit existed.Even with my grandfather doting on her, the entire Hale estate had nothing to do with Nicole. Instead, my mother was the only heir.However, someone as greedy as Nicole was never going to accept being raised in comfort only to end up with nothing. So, she came up with a plan to swap out my sister and throw her into a pond to drown.The sister I grew up with was actually her daughter.Unfortunately for Nicole, her daughter was just like her—incapable on her own and content to live off the Hale family's wealth.Mom had long known that Claire was not up to anything. So, she left everything to me and wrote it clearly in her will.As the heir, I was responsible for making sure Claire lived a comfortable life.If Nicole had been satisfied with that, the annual div
When Mom Wants Me to Join Her in Death Chapter 8
The moment I climbed into the helicopter, a wave of relief finally loosened the tightness in my chest.I was rushed straight into surgery. It lasted three days and three nights.The doctors called it a complete success.The little thing that had been buried in my brain was finally gone for good.By the time I was transferred out of the ICU and into a regular room, my mother's secretary, Phoebe Wagner, was already there waiting.She was the one I'd called from the villa that day. She was the only person in this world I trusted besides my mother.Phoebe gave me a gentle smile and handed me a thick folder. "I think that once you've gone through these, you'll understand everything, Ms. Dawson."I grabbed it and flipped through page after page, reading every line.As I kept reading, my expression just grew colder until all I felt was hatred.Right then, noise erupted outside my room.I clearly heard Claire's voice. "Why won't you let me in? I'm her sister! I'm the only sister of t
When Mom Wants Me to Join Her in Death Chapter 7
The person who was bound hand and foot inside the cabinet, gagged and trembling, was Claire, who was supposed to be freezing in the wind and playing with penguins at the South Pole.With tears and snot streaking down her face as she stared at me with the most pitiful expression she could muster, she silently begged me to spare her.On the screen, Margaret was shrieking, hurling every vile curse she could think of at me.I barely spared her a glance. I simply scoffed, "You came up with dreams and that injury-transfer trick, but you can't stand me fixing the problem at its root?"That shut her up.I'd been given a second life. I'd upgraded every camera in the villa. Yet, Claire had still managed to slip past the bodyguards like the place was empty and vanish from under all their noses.I'd known something was wrong with the security in this villa.If she could slip out once, then there was no way I'd be standing here without a backup plan when my life was on the line.The only re

The bodyguard's eyes went wide at what I said.Mom said something to him, and he tore out his earpiece before pushing the phone into my hand.I glanced at the screen and saw a woman with flawless makeup and rosy cheeks. It was my mother, who was supposed to be dead.There wasn't a trace of warmth on her face. Her gaze was wary, edged with a subtle, almost hidden touch of regret.What could she possibly regret?No mother would ever hurt her own child, yet she had used those so-called "dreams" as her excuse to kill me.As I questioned her, she let out a cold snort. "So what if you figured it out? You're still going to die. The only difference is that now you know the truth.""So, you had the lawyer slip this document in, didn't you?" I asked, holding up the paper that had finally laid everything bare for me.On the screen, Mom took off her glasses calmly. "Since you already know, why bother asking?""No," I said. "I need to hear you say it."Her gaze darted aside, refusing to m

My hand wouldn't stop shaking around the sheet of paper.The call that never went through felt like it was mocking how stupid I'd been.The bodyguard I'd just yelled at rushed back in and dropped to his knees in front of me again."Ms. Maeve, we've got Ms. Claire's location, but..."He hesitated for a moment before saying grimly, "There's a storm at the South Pole. All flights are grounded..."A bitter smile tugged at my lips.My dear sister really had gone all out to get me killed.My fingers, which were already blue from the cold, used the last of their strength to crush the paper into a ball.I picked up the phone I'd dropped earlier. Then, I dialed a number that had been sitting in my contacts for years.The line connected almost immediately.In the silence, I could clearly hear the breathing on the other end growing faster."If you don't get here, you can come collect my body..."Before I could finish, a sharp pain shot through my hand. The phone was kicked out of my g

My whole body was shaking, uncontrollably. The tears stinging my eyes froze on my cheeks the instant they fell.I yanked the blanket tighter around myself and told the bodyguard to turn the heater all the way up.Even when the room temperature climbed to a stifling 95 degrees Fahrenheit, I was still shivering, while the bodyguard in the same room had gone pale and was sweating through his shirt.A cold dread curled in my gut."Where's Claire?" I asked.The bodyguard dropped to his knees with a heavy thud. "I'm sorry. She's..."I closed my eyes. My last bit of strength was swallowed by fury."Are you all useless? I'm paying you 18,000 dollars a month, and you still can't keep track of her? If you don't want the job, then get out!"I reached for the lamp on the side table to throw it at him, but my hands were so numb from the cold that it slipped from my fingers and clattered to the floor."What are you still kneeling there for? Get out and find her! Or do you want me to say ple
