“Go ask around. Lydia swallowed up Smith Corporation and left me with nothing. What do you want from me?”
Soren’s voice sent a chill through the car. “If you have nothing, then pay me with your life.”
Sandy watched as they drove deeper into the empty countryside, her fear growing with every mile.
“You’re insane! Where are you taking me? If you don’t stop this car right now, I’m calling the police!”
Soren let out a cold laugh. “Try it. I’m using a signal blocker. Check your phone. Bet you don’t have any service.”
He had hidden the jammer in the car hours ago. Now, nothing electronic could get through. Tonight, he was going to teach Sandy a lesson.
Sandy snatched up her phone, her hands shaking. No bars. She dialed for help anyway, desperate, but nothing happened. No calls went out.
No way. She couldn’t let Soren get his hands on her again.
Last time, when she begged for his help, he locked her in a dog cage and made her eat off the floor. He never saw her as a person. If he got her again... she didn’t even want to think about it.
They reached a deserted stretch of road, not a soul in sight. Suddenly, Sandy lunged, grabbing Soren’s hair and yanking back as hard as she could.
The car lurched, the steering wheel spinning in Soren’s hands.
“Sandy, are you goddamn crazy?”
She clung to his hair, slamming his head into the side window. “You’re the crazy one, not me!”
“Let go. Are you trying to get us killed?”
Soren’s head rang, but Sandy wouldn’t let go. He couldn’t even see the road anymore.
“Stop the car and I’ll let go!”
Her nerves snapped tight. Maybe it was just the rain. Or the wind. But then she heard the footsteps again, closer this time.
She jumped to her feet, heart racing. “Who’s there?”
A shadow flickered in the darkness, and Sandy screamed, high and raw.
Her eyes went wide in panic. She ran for the door, but her body was too weak, too scared. That shadow felt like death itself, creeping closer, ready to drag her down.
Her legs buckled. She hit the floor hard.
“No! Stay away! Don’t come any closer!”
She clawed at the floor, screaming as she tried to crawl to the door.
“A ghost! Somebody help me! Help!”

thank u!...
Olha a história bem boa só algumas coisas são chatas ( nesse tipo de história sempre troca as filhas pela a da empregada ou então pegam uma menina pra criar) pelo menos eles tratam a filha bem só enche o saco que até agora a Lucinda tá lá enchendo ! Fora isso tá bom Connor é um fofo a família dela a ama muito só Lucinda pra abaixar o nível do livro já era pra ter resolvido isso e fazer ela pagar mais tudo bem li um livro chinês que era parecido só algumas coisas diferentes ,ais mesma coisa tipo ela salvou o Connor no início lá ela salvava o avô dele , no chinês ela não tinha um irmão mais novo com os pais adotivos , a mãe dela tinha 2 irmãos e todos os avós estavam vivos mais história quase igual e tem coisas tipo o triângulo que lá TB tinha até a Lucinda que no chines TB ficou o livro todo aprontando só no final a família descobria e se livrava dela aí ela ia morar com o cara que ela usa pra disfarçar que não gosta do Connor aí depois ainda quase matava a irmã dele e a mãe dele que ele via como ela era...

Every chapter is missing a sentence from the end of every chapter. It’s frustrating to try guess what’s missing or said...
