I caught a glimpse of my reflection in Amber's dark pupils-a twisted, manic grin spread wide. across my face.

"You're insane," she hissed.

I tilted my head at her, a mocking smile playing on my lips. "Insane? Weren't you the ones who drove me to this point, Amber? You orchestrated this grand drama, dragging me into the feud

tween the Carlyns and the Sanders. Why? What did I ever do to deserve this? In my past life, spent years in depression before dying a horrible death. Even in death, I had no peace. My bones were shattered, my skin flayed, my body reduced to fragments."

I laughed, but tears welled in my eyes, streaming down my face and dripping off my chin.

I stepped closer to her, one deliberate step at a time until there was no distance left between

1. us.

"Do you know what death is like? I was abandoned by the world-no one heard my cries. My family stood just within reach, but I couldn't speak, couldn't scream. I could only watch as my killers walked away, free and unpunished." I locked

eyes with her, my voice trembling with rage and despair. "Whitney was only five when you took her. You tortured her, shattered her innocence, and scarred her soul. What gave you the right? We never harmed anyone, yet this is the fate you forced upon us. Who granted you the power to decide who lives and who dies? If you're so intent on killing me, then here I am. Do it. Kill me now."

I pressed the knife into her hand and guided it to my chest, right over my heart. "Go on. Stab

1. me. End it."

The knife clattered to the floor as she shoved me away, storming up the stairs without another word. Her retreating figure screamed of desperation, like someone fleeing from a battle she'd already lost. Amber was unraveling. The situation had spun completely out of her control.

When she disappeared, I let out a shaky breath, wiping the tears from my face. I collapsed onto the couch, utterly drained. But in the end, I had won. I'd gambled, and I'd won.

Thank God Carter had uncovered the truth about their relationship. It seemed Amber cared about Carter more than she did about Yael and Taylor. Once again, Carter had saved me.

At least now, I had nothing to fear from the Carlyns.

Thinking of Yael, who had been dragged away earlier, I headed down to the basement.
