I Paid Her Debt, She Repaid With Betrayal
"Vernon, look how far you've come. I've seen every bit of progress you've made this year, and I couldn't be happier for you."
As I gazed at her, I felt a rush of warmth wash over me.
Just as I was about to say something, my phone suddenly vibrated.
It was an unfamiliar number.
After a moment's hesitation, I answered anyway.
From the other end of the line came a voice I knew well, though it was thick with tears.
"Vernon, please save Harper."
It was Rosalie.
I frowned, and before I could say anything, she said urgently, "Harper has suddenly fallen gravely ill. The doctor says he needs a specialized imported drug, and your company is the only one that can get it. I beg you—please help me."
