“Now my sister is dead, and you’ve got Ethan all to yourself. What more do you want? Even with no legs, you’re still better off than her—she’s gone.”
“Get out!” I pointed at her. “Go join your dead sister in heaven.”
Sophie froze, then leaned into my ear.
“Emily Johnson, what are you so smug about? Don’t you know your daughter tricked you? She pretended to be kidnapped, all so you’d lose your legs. It was Ethan who told them to break your legs.”
“And you didn’t see it coming. I added seventy thousand dollars to make sure they took your womb too. How does it feel? You’ll never have children again. The only child you’ve got left is Lily—and she hates you.”
“I’ll make sure you regret this forever. You should have given my sister that parking spot. This is my revenge for her.”
“So it was you!!”
Rage boiled inside me. I slapped her hard across the face. “You vile woman!”
“Heh. Ethan’s not here. What can you do to me?” she sneered, slapping me back just as hard.
We tore at each other like wildcats, pulling hair and slapping until suddenly she let go. Her body collapsed like a broken kite.
Crash!
