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.
