ArnoldKylie had her head hanging between her hands when I arrived at the hospital. She was sitting alone in the waiting area, looking solemn. Her hair was slightly disheveled, and I noticed that one of her hands was bandaged.I hurried towards her, my heart pounding in my chest. I had received several missed calls and messages from her, but none had prepared me for the news that Jordan had been rushed to the hospital."What happened, Kylie?" I demanded as soon as I was within earshot. "Where's Jordan? Is he alright?"She slowly raised her head. For a brief moment, I saw something that looked remarkably like hatred in her eyes.I stopped. I was accustomed to seeing Kylie angry, especially when things weren't going her way, but there was something different about the way she was looking at me."Where have you been, Arnold?" she asked instead of answering my question.I frowned. "What?""I called you several times. I sent you messages. I practically begged you to pick up your phone, but

Kylie The embarrassment from the slap stung more than the pain from the impact. I stumbled backwards, my hand flying to the spot on my face that was burning. I could only stare at Maya in disbelief. Of all the things I had expected to happen that evening, getting slapped by my husband's younger sister in the middle of a hospital reception wasn't one of them. And although I knew there was only one reason Maya could have attacked me so suddenly, I desperately wished it was something else. Anything else. I could even forgive the slap if it meant keeping my secret from the rest of the family. But the expression on her face told me that things were about to become much more complicated. Arnold had already moved closer to us. "What the hell is wrong with you?" he demanded, positioning himself between us. "Have you lost your mind, Maya?" She barely acknowledged him. Her eyes remained fixed on me, burning with so much hatred that I instinctively took another step backwards. I tr

KylieI looked back at Maya, who was still glaring at me as though she could tear me apart with her bare hands. I had just entertained the idea of pushing her off the building, but I decided it wouldn't be wise. Not yet. Not immediately after our confrontation in the reception, where several people had witnessed her assaulting me. Arnold and Lara had seen me drag her away, and it wouldn't take a genius to figure out what had happened if Maya suddenly turned up dead. Besides, there were much easier ways to get rid of someone like Maya. She was a junkie, and every junkie could be controlled and eventually disposed of. It wouldn't be particularly shocking if she overdosed. She certainly wouldn't be the first wealthy young woman to lose her life to drugs. People would shake their heads, talk about how much potential she had wasted, and eventually move on with their lives. And I would be there to console the family, of course. I smiled at the thought. There was no point in rushing t

Marie She hesitated. "Lucy told me."I studied her face, then I nodded slowly. I wished she had extended some of that loyalty to me earlier that morning. I wished she had bothered to call me to ask what was wrong."Marie, please," she whispered.I looked away. The problem was that I hadn't seen anyone holding a gun. I had heard the argument, and I knew that something terrible had happened inside that room, but I couldn't honestly tell the police that I had witnessed Kylie threatening Lucy with a weapon.I hadn't.And I wasn't going to lie simply because Lydia wanted me to. There was already enough trouble surrounding my name. Another accusation, especially one I couldn't substantiate, might destroy whatever chance I had of clearing myself."I'll tell them what I know," I said."That's all I'm asking."Knowing my step mother, she would continue pushing until I said exactly what she wanted to hear.I looked towards the house again. I didn't want to insert myself into another mess when

Marie Sue For a few seconds, I was sure I hadn't heard correctly. I waited for her to correct herself. She didn't."How dare you say that to me?"She looked almost impatient."Marie, this isn't the time to start getting emotional.""Emotional?""Yes. We need to be practical."I shook my head slowly. "I didn't take any money from KF, Lydia."She looked at me, unmoved. There was no apology in her expression. No shame. And painfully, no indication that she believed me.I felt my heart sink. She really thought I had stolen the money.She sighed. "Fine, Marie. If you say you didn't take it, then you didn't."The dismissive way she said it made me angrier. "You don't believe me."She looked away. I laughed bitterly. It wasn't funny, but I couldn't help myself."Wow.""Marie…""All this time, you've actually believed I stole from them.""I never said that!""Then why would you ask whether I have any of their money left?"She hesitated. I waited. I wanted her to explain herself. I wanted her
