“What’s it going to be, Hannah? Yes or no? Life or death?” Lily’s voice rang out coldly, cutting through the

tense air.

Rose remained frozen, trembling under the weight of her sister’s demand. Her silence only seemed to further fuel Lily’s impatience. “I don’t have all day, Hannah!” she snapped, her tone growing harsher. “Will you

leave Lucas or not? Yes or no?”

Of course, I’ll act like I’m doing everything in my power to find you. I’ll cry, I’ll search, I’ll pretend… for as long as it takes. Maybe it’ll be weeks, months, even years. But eventually, he’ll forget you. Slowly, surely, I’ll help him heal”

She gave a cruel laugh, her eyes glinting with triumph. “And then, dear little sister, Lucas will be mine. He won’t remember you. I’ll make sure of it.”
