Jason shook his head slowly, smiling like a madman. “No, darling. She has everything to do with this. If you want her safe, you’re going to do exactly as I say.”
My heart sank. “What do you want?”
“You’re going to make a video,” he said coldly. “You’ll post it online, apologizing to Chloe. You’ll tell everyone it was an accident. That you’re not blaming her for your son’s death. The trolls will stop. The hospital will reinstate her. Everything will be fine again.”
I stared at him in disbelief. “Never. Never in this life will I defend her. She killed my son, Jason! She doesn’t deserve sympathy, she deserves prison or worse!”
His eyes gleamed dangerously. “That’s why Jane is here. To motivate you.”
Jane sobbed harder, shaking her head. “Amber, please… don’t let him—”
Jason leaned in close, whispering like poison. “If you don’t do the video, I’ll post her naked pictures online.”
Jane gasped. “No!” She broke into hysterical sobs, thrashing against the ropes.
Jason laughed cruelly. “Just imagine it. Your sweet, innocent sister is barely eighteen. Everyone at her boarding school seeing her like that. Her reputation will be destroyed. She’ll never recover.”
