Abby
“Gerald, Abby, would one of you care to explain what's going on?”
Karl’s voice is somehow exceedingly calm, juxtaposed against the chaotic energy filling the room. I feel like I’ve just stepped into a scene that I never should have witnessed with my own eyes, like a complete stranger in a home that I once used to rule.
Gerald wastes no time with his explanation. “I found her in your private office upstairs, sir,” he announces, as if he’s just solved a great mystery. “She was reading your emails, going through your personal computer.”
Karl turns toward me, his face covered in a puzzled expression. “Abby? Is this true?”
I nod, feeling embarrassed. “Yes, to an extent. But—”
Suddenly, Gerald butts in before I can finish. “Sir, I’ve always suspected she’s a spy for another pack, and this just further proves my point.”
My jaw drops open, incredulous. I whirl around to face Gerald, wincing against his iron grip on my arm. “Really, Gerald? A spy? Are you losing your marbles? What pack would I even be spying for, and why?”
He sneers, his eyes turning into two narrow slits of suspicion. “I’m not entirely sure, but it’s no secret I've had my eye on you for years. Your behavior has always been...off. Perhaps you even plotted with that gardener—what was his name? The one who has conveniently run away—to create this ‘cheating’ fiasco as a distraction.”
I can’t believe what I’m hearing. It feels like I’ve just stepped into some sort of parallel universe, one where wild accusations are flung around like confetti.
“Gerald, you’re completely delusional,” I fire back, my voice shaking with a mixture of anger and disbelief. “I’ve never done any such thing. You’re so busy playing detective that you’re seeing conspiracies where there are none!”
