All Chapters of Awakened For Sin: Chapter 141 - Chapter 147

Lizzy's POVThe wire felt strange against my skin, I couldn't forget it was there, taped beneath my blouse where Nathan had positioned it, much to Blake's disgust.His mood hadn't improved at all. He sat beside me in the van, his jaw tight, hands clenched at his sides like he was physically restraining himself from pulling me out of this."You don't have to do this," he said for the third time in ten minutes."Yes, I do.""Okay, then I don't want you to do this.""I know, but you also know I need to. This man put me through so much. I need to close that chapter of my life and move on with you and the baby." I felt Nathan's head flip around at the word baby. I didn't react. I checked my reflection in the small mirror Nathan had mounted on the van's interior wall. My ice-blue eyes stared back at me with a determination that was all Fawn, even if they didn't match my old color. "I need him to know.""The detective thinks you're insane, and finding out you're pregnant…congrats, but so do

Lizzy's POVI was sitting on Melissa's desk when she arrived at 8:47 AM, seventeen minutes later than her official start time. Not that anyone would call her on it; she'd earned special privileges working for Blake.Well, not for much longer.She froze when she saw me, her perfectly manicured hand still on the doorknob, her expression shifting from surprise to calculation as quick as a heartbeat. She looked toward the door leading to Blake's office, which had been left open."Cassie," she said, her voice professionally pleasant even as her eyes went cold. "I wasn't expecting you. Does Blake know you're here?""Blake isn't in yet. Not that I need your permission to see him," I said, staying exactly where I was, perched on the edge of her desk like I owned the place. Because technically, through Blake, I did. "I came alone." What was his, and all that shit. But it went both ways.Her gaze flicked past me toward Blake's office door, doubt written all over her face."Alone," she repeated,

Lizzy's POV"Nathan told us," my mother said, leaning forward. "He told us that Cassie Huntington woke up from her coma the day after Fawn died. That she knew things only Fawn would know. That she spoke languages Cassie had never learned. That she went to the women's shelter where Fawn used to volunteer. That she..." Her voice broke completely. "That she might be our daughter. In a different body. Given a second chance for the horrible life she'd had with her husband.""That's insane," I whispered, but the words had no strength behind them. I knew why Nathan had done it, but could they truly believe? This was so against my parents' belief system."We thought so too," my father said. "We wanted to believe it was true, but we couldn't. It was too impossible. Too much to hope for. So we came here to thank the woman who'd given us justice for our daughter. But now..." He looked at me, really looked at me, and I saw recognition dawning in his eyes. "Now I don't think we came here to thank

Epilogue I forced my eyes opened. I had to face this head on.Cassie stood at the foot of my bed. Slightly see-through.I should have screamed. Should have pressed the call button. But all I could do was stare. Why was she here now?"Are you here to take your body back?" I whispered, my heart hammering. "The baby?"Cassie looked at me slowly, then at the sleeping infant in the bassinet. And she laughed, not cruel, but genuinely amused."No," she said, her voice clear and familiar because it was the voice I'd been using for months. "My time on this earth is up. I'm here to deliver a message."I pulled myself up straighter in the bed, wincing at the pain. "What message?""This is your life now, Fawn." She moved closer to the bassinet, looking down at Renee with something like wonder. "I believe you'll make better use of it than I ever did. You've healed Blake. You've done good. That shelter you're running? It's amazing. I'm glad my money is finally doing something worthwhile."She look
