Chapter 252

Brendan was just lying in the house, unable to speak or move, but he wasn’t dead.

I had a hunch that once Henry got rid of Caleb, he’d be coming for Brendan and me next.

Is Brendan safe?” I whispered.

There was a moment of silence before Eric spoke. “Not everyone has a conscience like the young master.”

I didn’t say a word, knowing there was nothing I could do to stop it.

Once Henry got rid of Brendan, I would be next.

On the way back to Colin’s place, I sent a text to Stella.

[Stella, Henry had Colin committed to a mental institution. How can I get him out?]

Stella cursed, [Fuck! Don’t panic. Just give me the address of the hospital, and I’ll figure something out.]

I sent her the location.
