The house was full of luxury, yet it felt completely empty.

Before I left the house forever, I stopped at the front door. “Christopher, if you truly didn’t know about the poison, you should cooperate fully with the Prosecutor’s Office.

And if you did know about it, may God help you.”

He lifted his tired face to look at me. “I swear I never wanted you to be killed, Vivian.”

I looked at him one last time. “But you did let me disappear.”

He said nothing.
