Two Times the Charm (Clara and Emmett) novel Chapter 455

Leah was on the verge of giving Emmett a piece of her mind, but time was slipping through her fingers like grains of sand.

"Enough with the blame game!" She snapped. "Hurry up and think of something, will you? Can't we salvage this situation at all? At the very least, we can't let Emmett die!"

Newell fell silent for a few seconds before he spoke, a note of resignation in his voice. "The only thing I can think of is to give him all the antidote, let him detox completely."

Detox completely?

Leah hesitated.

Without the leverage of the poison, would Clara still dance to her tune?

Would they not just end up back in each other's arms?

And if Clara spilled the beans to Emmett about everything, Leah could kiss her dreams of being Mrs. Melendez goodbye – that was if she even had a chance of coming out of this alive!

"No way! That's not going to work. If I give him the antidote, sure, he'll live, but my whole plan goes down the drain!"
