But just because the hmatics behind the Charmer wanted revenge, that didn’t mean she was going to crawl back to John–the blind fool who couldn’t see the truth if it smacked him in the face.

It was laughable, honestly.

Last night, after watching the video of Elsa deliberately falling down the stairs to frame her. John had looked devastated–pleading for her forgiveness, swearing he’d been wrong.

And now? Elsa pops a few pills and plays victim, and he’s right back at her side without hesitation.

It disgusted her.

So much so that she felt sickened by the version of herself who had once been madly in love with him.

“Lily, this is your last chance.”

John’s voice came through, low and tight. Still getting no answer, he was starting to panic. His fingers

clenched around the pair of silver bracelets she had tossed aside.

“Divorce James. Come to the registry office with me. Tomorrow, drop the lawsuit. Reconcile with Wendy. You-”

“In your dreams.”

Lily practically spat the words out, the taste of rust on her tongue from how hard she was clenching her jaw.

“I’ll say it again: I will never reconcile with Wendy. The only thing I’ll do is make sure she gets the longest sentence possible. And as for going back to you after divorcing James? Not a chance.”

Her voice was steady, like steel. “James did the right thing by helping the police destroy that hellhole the Charmer. All those girls–poor, bright girls who clawed their way out of poverty to get into college–why should they be punished just because they didn’t have the right connections? Why should they be tossed. into the Charmer, treated like garbage?”

She paused, voice shaking but fierce. “I was sent to that place too. Wendy and Elsa put me there. If James hadn’t saved me, I wouldn’t even be alive today.If James doesn’t need me, I’ll respect his choices and stay out of it. But if he does–I’ll stand beside him. I’ll fight with him. I’ll die for him if I have to.”

“Good always triumphs over evil. He’ll be fine. You want to stay with your precious Elsa, then fine. Be a tragic couple. Sleep and rot in the same grave for all
