Leaning close to his ear, Suzy softly called out, “Elliot Hayes, it’s me, your mentor. If you can hear my voice, open your eyes and look at me…”
Before anything could happen, the person posing as Diana spoke up. “Don’t waste your energy. He can’t hear you at all!
“Suzy, you’re not as powerful as you think. Your hypnosis skills are nothing compared to a certain someone’s.”
“A certain someone?” Suzy turned to look at her, her gaze sharp.
“Let me guess. This ‘certain someone’ is none other than Charlotte Wright, isn’t it? The woman who’s somehow survived dying twice and still refuses to stay dead?”
“You…” Diana’s expression flickered for a moment before she quickly recovered.
“Who it is or isn’t, I’m not going to tell you. When the time comes, you’ll find out on your own but not now.”
That brief flicker in Diana’s expression didn’t escape Suzy’s notice. Could Charlotte really still be alive?
If that were true, then the woman standing before her might truly be Diana.
Her sudden change in personality could easily be Charlotte’s doing—either through hypnosis or manipulation.
And if Charlotte was still alive, then…
Suzy’s thoughts were interrupted when Diana’s expression darkened. “Suzy, if you want Elliot to wake up, it’s simple. Kill yourself in front of me, and I’ll lift the hypnosis.”
With that, Diana tossed a sharp knife onto the floor in front of Suzy.
“My patience is limited. You’ve got three minutes. If you don’t do as I say within that time, Elliot will remain a living corpse for the rest of his life.”
