CEO’s Surrender With You I Can Never Win novel Chapter 5

Chapter 5

The maids who could not stop Finley from barging in cowered at the side as the young woman strutted into the room like she owned the place.

The woman was dressed from head to toe in black like she was attending a funeral.

As if the weather headed her call, a huge wind swept in through the open doorway.

Everyone shivered.

It was like watching the grim reaper stride into your living room…

Rita was the first to react.

“You’re crazy! Finley, what do you think you’re trying to do?”

Tina snapped out of her trance. However, Finley did not miss the flash of guilt clouding the older

woman’s face.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Finley asked Tina. Then she chuckled, “Are you feeling guilty? Are you surprised to see that I’m still alive?”

Tina glanced at Dirk worriedly. After all, he did not know of her plans. He was unaware that she was the mastermind behind Finley’s brush with death earlier that day. Dirk didn’t know that she had sold Finley to those lecherous men at the bar.

“Why was she back?” Tina thought, “How is she still able to walk in like this? Did my plan fail?”

Finley fixed her cold gaze on Tina and the woman felt a shiver down her spine. Even through the veil, she could feel the young girl’s wrath.

Her mind spun, “This b*tch must be back to get even with me!”

Feigning calmness, Tina snapped, “What is the meaning of this? Finley, you cannot blame us for kicking you out of the house after you’d done such a shameful thing. How dare you use such vulgar tactics to scare us?”

Finley felt the urge to clap and say, “What a great actress! Your ability to ad-lib is astounding!”

“Scare you? No, I’m here to repay the favor I owe you.”

Dirk blew his top. “You insolent brat! Guards! Drag her out of here!”

Finley chuckled as nobody appeared to obey Dirk’s orders,

“Don’t bother, it’s just us here. Now, let’s talk about that favor. Tina Anderson, did you think that no one would know about what you did? Tsk, such a bold move, digging up my mother’s grave. One would think that you’re so poor you can’t even afford your own coffin. Were you thinking of sharing? Sorry, my mother’s coffin is not for the likes of you.”

Tina’s face became white as a sheet while Dirk frowned at his wife.

“Shut up! You’re spouting nonsense!”

“Am I? In any case, I decided to be generous. Look, I got this just for you. Anytime you want a one- way ticket to hell, I’ll be happy to oblige.”
