It was unmistakably Heatherâs voice.
Of course, it was her.
Dorothy wasnât surprised in the least.
Pain shot through her knees, paling her complexion in an instant as sweat rapidly beaded on her
forehead. Gritting her teeth so hard that her nails dug into her skin, she managed to say, âDo whatever
you want to me, but let Karen and my daughter go! Theyâre innocent!â âInnocent?â Heatherâs laugh was
devoid of warmth, âOh, dear sister you donât think anyoneâs walking out of here today, do you?â
âBut sheâs Everettâs child!â
âThatâs exactly why she needs to die!â Heather raised her voice, almost to a scream, âWhat did you
promise me all those years ago? You said youâd never go back to him, that youâd vanish! And yet, here
you are, back in his life and with a child! Oh, Dorothy, you thought you could hide the secrets, but you
never expected me to find out, did you?â
How Heather had discovered Abigails whereabouts was beyond Dorothy. The only people who knew of
Abigailâs identity, aside from herself, were Kenneth and Karen. Nobody else!
Suddenly, she froze.
âDid Lane tell you?â
âThatâs rightâ Heather admitted openly, stepping closer to Dorothy and ripping the blindfold from her
face. As they locked eyes, Heatherâs face was smug with triumph. âSurprised? And to think, it was
Lane who came to me first!â
Dorothy was stunned.
Lane had always been relentless in his pursuit of her, but she never believed he would do anything to
harm a child.
âHeâs such an idiot. He came to me for a deal, and before I even agreed, he spilled everything, telling
me you had Everettâs daughter!â Heatherâs mocking laughter filled the room. âAnd then the fool had the
nerve to tell me not to hurt you or the child! Can you believe
that?â
âHeather, thatâs because not many people are as vile as you. Lane couldnât have imagined he was
dealing with someone like your

Heather struck Dorothy with a brutal smack, leaving a fiery red welt on her face and sending her
tumbling backward.
âDonât you dare preach to me from your moral high ground! Are you any better? You slept your way into
Everettâs bed for money. Youâre nothing more than a whore, just like your mother. Cheap and
worthlessâ
With blood filled with Dorothyâs mouth, she spat it out defiantly meeting Heather with fierce
determination.
âYou hate me and my mother. Now that youâve had her killed, Iâm in your clutches. Release Karen and
Abigail. Do what you want with

âOh?â Heather arched her eyebrows, curling her lips into a smirk. âDo you think Iâd let you off that
easily?â
âLet them go, and Iâll do whatever you want!â
Heather played absently with her nails, then her face lit up with a twisted excitement.
âFine! I have two people in my grasp, so youâll agree to two conditions. For each one you fulfill release
one of them. How about that?â
âWhat conditions?â
âI want you to sleep with several men at once and make it look like youâre enjoying every second of it.
Use all your seductive tricks to lure them in. Onge theyâve each had their turn with you, I let Karen go.â
