Chapter 14 - THE LAST HUNT Victor disappeared.
His properties were empty.
His bank accounts were frozen.
But we knew he was coming for Serena.
The question was when.
The answer came at midnight.
The lights in the house went out.
Perrin screamed.
I grabbed him.
Serena reached for my hand.
Then the front door opened.
A figure entered.
Not Victor.
Rhea.
She was holding no weapon.
She looked terrified.
“I know where he is,” she whispered.
“Why should I believe you?”
“Because he tried to kill me too.”
She gave us an address.
An abandoned estate near the coast.
Then she looked at Perrin.
“I am sorry.”
Perrin hid behind Serena.
May you like
Rhea cried.
For the first time, she looked less like the woman who had controlled our lives and more like someone who had finally realized what she had become.
