Before he could finish his sentence, my phone slipped from my trembling fingers.
| was standing by the window, my fingers trembling non-stop, until Bryant left. His Rolls Royce slipped out of
Ferguson Mansion into the darkness of the
night.
Until its taillights vanished from my sight.
Twenty minutes passed before | could bring myself to open the drawer of my bedside table and pull out a paring
knife, pressing it against my wrist.
Blood flowed, warm and glaring.
But the cut wasn’t deep. Not enough to kill.
Barefoot, | twisted the doorknob and stepped out, heading downstairs, where Gary met me. “Mrs. Ferguson,
Bryant askedto...”
He stopped mid-sentence, startled by the blood trailing down my arm.
“Gary, | don’t mean to be a burden.”

and drove right into the lake.
The icy waters of early spring rushed in.
The cold was piercing.
Breathing becmore and more difficult.
When | woke up, | was in a hospital.
Somehow, | hadn't died. The wound on my wrist had been neatly redressed.
Mark suddenly stood up, releasing a heavy sigh of relief. “Jane, you're awake?”
“Mark...”
It felt like my throat had been cut open, talking was pure torture, my voice was all rough and harsh. “Why are
