Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

“Mom, what should we do now?” Erica asked sullenly.

“Don’t panic. Let me think about what we can do.” Naomi was equally anxious. Should Francis wake up to find the contents of his will having been replaced, he would most definitely be furious and might divorce Naomi and kick the mother-daughter pair out of the house.

In one of the corners of the corridor outside, Anastasia was looking at the lounge room with calculative eyes. Just as she planned, the mother-daughter pair had listened in on the play she had with Dr. Jones. As she knew Naomi’s greatest fear was her father regaining
