The Boltons didn't have the necessary equipment, and with Sheila's cries echoing in the background, she was quickly rushed to the hospital.

Luke studied me for a moment. "Did you make that happen on purpose?"

I hesitated. "I won't lie-I did want her to fall. But I didn't push her. It was just a thought. Who knew she'd actually slip? Still, it's for the best. Now she won't be able to cause any more problems for the Boltons." After everything with Silas, I couldn't let Sheila remain unharmed. She was too much of a danger.

Maybe fate stepped in before I could do anything.

As the evening wore on. Anna remained under house arrest, and Sheila was on her way to the hospital.

I received a call from Carter. "Chloe, do you want to come to the shop?"

Just hearing those words made my heart race. I felt a chill run through me as I responded, my voice trembling, "Yes, I'm on my way.

"Be careful on the road," he said. "Don't rush. I'll be waiting for you."

I ended the call quickly. It was done. Carter had made it to the basement. He wouldn't reach out until everything was secure.

Luke, overhearing my conversation, spoke up. "I'll drive you."

Now, he was aligned with us, another piece on the chessboard, just like me. He was as eager as I was to uncover the truth.

But I wasn't about to take any chances. I had a bodyguard with me as we headed to the shop.

Sitting in the passenger seat, I couldn't shake the tension. If the riverbank was ground zero, the shop was where torment claimed me.
