Chapter 37
"What? Killed Martha?" Ivy heard the panic in her voice.
"Yes!" Cheryl yelled again. "You used to be kind and... adorable, but now you're so bitter and evil!"
Ivy didn't like the words Cheryl was using to describe her, but she refused to react. She kept her cool despite her racing heart. "Is Martha okay?"
"No, she's not. You and that freaking woman injured her!" Cheryl snapped.
Injured her, not killed her. Ivy exhaled in relief, though her heart still pounded. Cheryl hadn't directly answered the question.
"Is Martha alive?" she asked again, rephrasing the question.
Cheryl gasped. "Oh my goodness! You wanted her dead? I can't believe you, Ivy!" That derisive tone was enough to fire Ivy up. "You said it! You said I killed her!"
"Oh, chill," Cheryl hissed. "It was just a figure of speech."
"What kind of psycho uses kill as a figure of speech?" Ivy shot back, her chest heaving with anger.
"That doesn't change the fact that you landed Martha in the hospital, and my fiancé is going to make you pay for that," Cheryl shot back.
Ivy felt the anger in her heart as she sat on the bed.
Breathe, breathe. Don't explode, she told herself.
She knew Cheryl was taunting her and she refused to take the bait. "Well, since Martha is doing well," she said calmly, "I wish her a quick recovery."
Cheryl seemed to sense she was being dismissed and flared up. "This is not the end, Ivy! I will-"
Ivy ended the call before Cheryl could finish. She was tired of the Hunters and everything they represented. If she could turn back time, she would have ignored Mason the first time he approached her.
Despite her chaotic emotions, she felt relieved. Thank God Martha was alive. Cheryl was so stupid for frightening her like that.
A knock on the door interrupted her thoughts.
"It's Monica."
Ivy opened the door for Monica, who carried a tray of food. Monica set the tray on
