For a lady of nearly 50 years old, Maria was still an extremely attractive, charming woman. Every move she made looked measured, elegant, well thought through and refined. She somehow managed to effortlessly look simultaneously lazy and sexy. It was no surprise then that she’d married into the Sullivan family. Even among the younger, fairer ladies she’d stood out as someone interesting and exotic,

But just like beautiful flowers, the more beauty it held, the more poisonous it was.
Such a statement applied almost perfectly to this woman.
Before Maria had married into the Sullivan family, the Kennedy family hadn’t even been considered as one of the upper-class families. It had been quite a shock when Maria, a woman coming from just about nothing, had married into one of the wealthiest families.
Maria had been Mrs. Sullivan for more than 20 years now. Many said it was out of sheer dumb-luck, but the vast majority were of the opinion that she had schemed and lied her way into the position.
Mary had been in Maria’s service for nearly 10 years. She knew better than most just how vicious and vindictive this beautiful woman was.

Mary kept taking deep, measured breaths to keep herself calm as she waited for Maria to speak.
“Send someone else to keep an eye on her?” Maria sneered.
“And give that bastard more evidence?”
Mary could feel the confusion starting to show on her face. Before she could say anything, Maria spoke again.

“Why do you think I asked him to leave Apliaria in the first place? As ridiculous as that bastard is, do you really take him for a fool? Do you really think he’d be satisfied that this was an accident?”

Her eyes were still tightly shut, but her mouth was tipped down in a frown and her forehead was glistening with sweat. She looked like she was having a bad dream.
In her dream, Rachel was running down a dark, empty road. There was no one behind her, just the streetlights that seemed to be keeping pace with her. Every time she glanced back, all she could see was darkness; the lights turned off as she passed them. She didn’t know why she was running. But she was overwhelmed by the feeling that if she stopped, the blackness would swallow her whole, and then she’d disappear forever.
So she kept on running. And running… And running. She started getting tired. Every step was becoming more and more labored. Then she started slowing down.

Rachel whipped around to stare right into the face of the man.

Rachel gasped in horror. She tried to struggle out his grasp, but it was useless.
