Inheritance of Lies
Gillian had already wrapped her hands around my neck, and the suffocating pressure swallowed me whole.
Orson looked feral as he stared down at me. "We were so careful, and you still noticed something was wrong. But that's okay. Dead men tell no tales."
I struggled desperately, trying to push them away, but I couldn't budge them at all. All I could feel was the air being slowly squeezed out of my lungs.
Just as despair set in, a white porcelain vase smashed into Orson's head, blood splattering everywhere.
Gillian and Keith couldn't escape, either. Their heads were struck by different ornaments. Then, they were dragged off and beaten with fists and kicks.
