couldn’t get the blood-curdling scream she let out when I tried to hold her. Her entire body shook violently and she only fully calmed when the doctor arrived. “There’s more than we know that went on back in Vegas between the two of them.”

My brother was a master manipulator and he knew how to get to people. He had done it with my wife and now he was doing it with Corinna. She didn’t deserve this kind of pain at all.
