Forbidden Passion

Chapter 586 Phoebe Was Kidnapped

As the sun dipped and the neon lights flickered on, Phoebe had been parked in that coffee shop for what felt like forever, her coffee long gone cold. Vanessa strutted in, fashionably late as always.

A shadow loomed, and Phoebe didn't even need to glance up. That overpowering floral perfume screamed Vanessa.

She stiffly set her paper cup down and slowly lifted her gaze to meet Vanessa's.

Vanessa was decked out in a down jacket plastered with Chanel logos, her makeup on point, making Phoebe look like she'd been through the wringer. Vanessa leaned back, eyes drifting to the passersby outside, then back to Phoebe.

"Phoebe, you have no idea how much I hated you when I heard Theodore married you four years ago," Vanessa said, cool as a cucumber.

Phoebe dropped her eyes, a smirk playing on her lips, "Did you kill Donovan?"

"Hold your horses," Vanessa said smoothly, "Hear me out. We might never get another chance to chat like this."

Phoebe's fists clenched. She wanted to bolt, but she also needed the truth.

Vanessa eyed Phoebe's puffy eyes. She'd been crying, and that made Vanessa feel pretty damn good.

"I've known Theodore forever. We were high school sweethearts. He was my first love. I loved him more than anyone, but he married you? Why? You're just a maid's daughter. What right do you have to marry him, to take the spot I've been dreaming of all these years?"

Vanessa went on, "Remember that day on the second-floor terrace of the Reynolds Mansion? I really wished you'd fallen to your death. Then you wouldn't have been in the way of me and Theodore getting back together."

Phoebe's knuckles cracked as she clenched her fists. She stared at Vanessa's twisted, ferocious face, thinking how ugly she looked.
