It wasn't an earthquake but something Charlotte did. As she approached the villa's main entrance, she had discreetly activated the hidden mechanism for the basement.

Charlotte had prepared a destructive device in the basement, designed to obliterate everything inside if she found herself in a desperate situation. She wasn't about to let Suzy's mother, whom she had imprisoned for twenty years, escape unscathed.

If she couldn't make it out alive, neither would they.

What she hadn't anticipated was Mark's betrayal. Still, she managed to act just in time, developing a drug to turn Suzy's mother into a puppet before Suzy's arrival.

"She really does think of everything," Riley growled through clenched teeth. "Do you think she and Mark were in on this together from the start?"

All that mattered now was escaping and ensuring her mother could be laid to
