(Victoria's POV)
"Remember," he hissed over his shoulder, "no tricks. I need that money by afternoon"

My stomach growled painfully, reminding me that I hadn't eaten since before my confrontation with Ethan. The memory of his denial about Lily's death sent a fresh wave of grief through me.
I forced myself out of bed, wincing as my bruises protested the movement. After a quick shower, I headed out
to find food, too exhausted to cook.
The small restaurant near Maple Grove offered excellent venison stew. I sat in a corner booth,
