Chapter 655

Susanna Tucker was still racking her brain, trying to figure out exactly what Hull wanted as payment-and she was starving.

Hull hadn't left the house all day. By midnight, Susanna's stomach was growling so loud she couldn't take it anymore. She crept downstairs in search of something to eat.

And then...

It was way past midnight, but Hull was still up, standing in the living room with Silas. Looked like they'd just finished a conversation and were about to head upstairs.

Susanna had already made it down two steps before she saw them. Her heart leapt into her throat. She spun around, desperate to sneak back to her room before anyone noticed.

From the living room below, she heard a chorus of sharp intakes of breath, and someone yelling.
