Hung for a Lie
All it took was a single exchange between my sister and Giselle’s lover, and my daughter accused her of stealing a gold bracelet. As a result, my sister was left to die in a warehouse for three whole days.
With my sister’s life hanging by a thread, I got on my knees and pleaded before my wife and daughter.
“Please, let Lucy go. She won’t speak to Theo again.”
Faced with my pleas, my daughter simply let out a cruel smile.
“I can release her, but only if she returns the bracelet.”
Lucy never took the bracelet in the first place. There was no way she could return something that was never in her possession.
Agony ripped through me as I crawled toward Giselle.
“Please, Giselle. I’m begging you. Please let her go. She’s going to die at this rate!”
Giselle took one cold, hard look at me before uttering, “So she’s been hung to dry for three days. She won’t die. If you really want her release, you should hand over your mother’s keepsake to Theo.”
