Chapter 7 - Dawn at Aspen CreekAt exactly six o'clock, the estate gates opened.

Three municipal patrol cars entered the property.

Behind them came a black private security vehicle.

And behind that...

Sarah Miller's car.

I stood near the garden wearing an elegant beige coat.

My hair was pulled back.

My face was calm.

I looked nothing like the woman they had thrown into a shed.

I looked like the owner of the estate.

Because I was.

Trevor stepped outside wrapped in a thin decorative blanket.

He looked pale.

Exhausted.

Afraid.

His eyes met mine.

“Allison...”

I said nothing.

Sarah walked toward me carrying a thick leather folder.

“Ready?”

I nodded.

The lead officer approached.

Evelyn immediately began screaming.

“Officer! Arrest her! She locked us inside her own house!”

Sarah didn't even blink.

May you like

She opened the folder.

And for the first time, Evelyn's voice began to fade.
