“You better do everything you promised to keep me hidden,” Andrea said, her heart anxious but there was no turning back now. “Once I’m out of Honnala, I’ll tell you who it is.”

“Deal,” Rebecca replied.

Andrea just wanted to leave as soon as possible. “I’ll be gone by the second of next month at the latest. When will you transfer the fifty million to me?”

“What money?” Rebecca asked.

“The fifty million we talked about in the car,” Andrea replied.

“Didn’t you say you didn’t want it?” Rebecca shot back.

Andrea took a deep breath, wishing she could go back in time and slap herself for being so careless.

‘I must’ve been out of my mind to agree just to get Rebecca on board,‘ Andrea thought.

“Get your people ready,” Andrea said, not wanting to say more. “I’ll let you know the day I leave.”

“Got it,” Rebecca replied coolly.

Andrea got wise. “Rebecca.”

“What?” Rebecca replied.

Andrea couldn’t see Rebecca’s face through the phone, but just to be sure, she added, “When I say do everything you can, I don’t mean handling it all by yourself–use everyone and everything at your disposal. That means Jessica, Ian, your mom, anyone you’ve got.”

Rebecca didn’t respond, just ended the call.

The dial tone buzzed in Andrea’s ear.

Andrea forced herself to calm down again.

‘If only I’d taken care of things earlier with Ben Cole, none of this mess would exist, Andrea thought bitterly. ‘If it wasn’t for him messing.things up, I could’ve stayed by Jeffrey’s side for the rest of my life.’

‘Not only could I have gotten under Rebecca’s skin, but I would’ve had all the wealth and status that came with having someone powerful protecting me, forever,’ she brooded.

Too bad regrets don’t fix anything; there’s no do–over in real life.
