Gloria whimpered, “I never meant to steal your necklace or your place. It was Robert’s decision, not mine. I couldn’t explain it. But how could you do something so cruel, stuffing blood-sucking leeches into my blanket?”
She touched her belly and sobbed.
“I’m pregnant with Robert’s child. Luckily, I found them in time… I’ll return the necklace to you, but please just let me go.”
I looked straight at Robert.
“I didn’t do this. If you don’t believe me, check the cameras.”
But he didn’t even hesitate to not trust me.
“There’s no need. I know your vengeful nature too well. I thought prison had changed you, but you’ve only gotten worse. You should’ve stayed there a few more years!”
He glared at me coldly as he threatened me, “No matter what, I’ll teach you a lesson tonight. You’ll never dare touch Gloria again.”
Half an hour later, Robert’s men came in, covering their noses as they carried a large barrel half their height. The tub was full of leeches, writhing in dark water.
“Dump them into the bathtub,” Robert ordered.
“Then push Amelia in.”
I looked up at him sharply as I told him, “Robert, you’ll regret this.”
“If I don’t teach you a lesson, I’ll be the one who regrets it!” he shouted.
