Julian never came home that night. By the next morning, headlines had spread across all of Cascade City. [The Wife Loses Again—Carter Heir Parties Across the City with Mystery Beauty on His Birthday.] In every entertainment reporter's photo, Julian had one arm protectively wrapped around the woman in his embrace. Everyone around them was laughing, looking relaxed and carefree. Without an expression, I picked up the remote and changed the channel. Apparently, though, they still had not had enough fun. Not long after, Julian came home with a noisy crowd trailing behind him. The moment they saw me, someone paused in surprise before slipping into his usual slick tone.

he asked coldly, his dark eyes dragging slowly over my naked body, lingering on my breasts, my thighs, the way I was still spread open on the bed. My breath hitched, I could feel my pulse everywhere. “What?” I whispered, my voice trembling as I tried to sit up. “Don’t move,” he warned, lifting the gun slightly. “I won’t ask again, your pussy… or your life.” My throat went dry. “M–my pussy…” I said faintly. He moved closer, pointing the gun at my head. From his pocket, he pulled out a rope and tossed it onto the bed. “Tie yourself.”

I couldn’t see the shadows in the rearview, but I still felt them like a weight on my chest. The radio squawked to life. James and I both flinched. The noise shocked me back to reality like a splash of cold water. I’d put at least a mile between us and the cemetery. We were in my car, we were safe, and I was back in control. “Code 99. Reported 905B possible 905V at the high school. 901K.” “What the fuck does that mean?” asked James. I turned to look at him and realized that he was in the front seat like a regular passenger instead of cuffed and secured in back like a suspect. He looked like I felt. Bloodless. Panting. Eyes wide and unbelieving.

After that, Xavier cut ties with his family completely. A few days later, Maisie suddenly jumped to her death. My mom lowered her voice and said, "The day Mrs. Sullivan killed herself, I saw Elsa at the Sullivan residence. It didn't sit right with me, so I recorded a video." I immediately asked her to send it to me. In the video, Elsa tried to appear calm as she left. However, her legs were trembling the whole time—something was definitely off. Goosebumps broke out across my arms. At the same time, I suddenly got a series of messages from Elsa on my old phone number.

It was a command center for manufactured desire. The bedroom, however, was where the contract became tangible. It was sparsely furnished, just the large bed and two nightstands. But mounted on the wall opposite the bed was a large, dark screen. And anchored to the ceiling above the bed were sturdy, discreet metal hooks. On one nightstand lay a small, elegant remote. On the other hand, a velvet box. Sloane’s phone buzzed. A text from an unknown number. D:* Open the box. Put them on. Then stand in the center of the bedroom. The screen will activate at 11:58 PM. Be ready.

Before I could pull one out, though, I heard a knock at my door. I spun towards the door, accidentally tipping over the ink bottle. I thought nothing of it; the ink had never spilled before. Even so, I decided to turn back and pick it up. Which is when I noticed that the ink had somehow spilled, and not only that, but it spilled right onto my finished manuscript, 1001 Dark Tales. I sat there staring for a second, completely forgetting about the knock on the door. Nothing happened, though, and relief instantly filled me.

With the help of the lightning flashes, I hit record, zoomed in, and captured the license plate. On the screen, I saw the man toss Dorothy into the back like a piece of luggage. My heart jerked violently, pain stabbing with every beat. Then, I shifted the camera and caught another scene. Chester's assistant stood by the van, handing the leader a thick envelope. The moment the recording ended, it felt like my insides were burning. "Hang in there, Dottie… Mommy will save you. Just wait a few more hours, okay?" I watched the van disappear into the rain. I didn't chase it and throw my life away. I knew, for a fact, that I needed power—someone who could crush Chester and make that van stop.

"How could you even think that about me? Yeah, I survived, but I was a victim, too. And now, just because of one photo, you're calling me a killer? Do you have any idea how much that hurts?" I swallowed hard, my voice breaking. "I said I probably fell asleep around 10 PM. I never said I was sure. My head was spinning from the altitude, and I wasn't clear. And come on—I'm just one woman. How the heck could I take out five grown men?" Alex's stare locked onto my face. "Yeah… doesn't seem likely." Just then, the coroner walked in with a fresh report, the pages still smelling like ink. He handed it straight to Alex.
