Chapter 27 The money still wasnt enough to repay the debt collectors and they decided to take Heather to a brothel to sell her off .
Overcome with despair , Heathers parents jumped from a high rise in front of her , taking their own lives .
Heather watched helplessly as her parents died right before her eyes , unable to do anything .
In the end , she still couldnt escape her grim fate of being sold .
At Audreys grave , Duncan sat by the tombstone , reading the news to her .
The headline reported how the Leverton family had been driven to bankruptcy , with members committing suicide to escape their debt .
The Leverton family had always been ruthless in the business world , driving many competitors to ruin .
Now , with the Leverton family destroyed , their rivals took their revenge , settling old scores .
The Leverton family would never recover , and Heather , no matter how hard she worked , would never pay off the debt before she grew old and worn .
Audreys vengeance had been exacted .
With that thought , Duncan felt there was no longer a reason for him to continue living .
Audrey , wait for me .
Im coming to find you and our child , he whispered , pulling out a pocketknife he had long prepared and aiming it at his chest .
Seamus and Janet had been following the news closely .
They knew that Duncan was behind the Leverton familys downfall , and they hadnt stopped him because it was the only thing keeping him alive .
But now that the Leverton family had collapsed , they feared Duncan would no longer have a reason to go on .
And they had been right .
As the blade pierced Duncans shirt , Seamus rushed in and grabbed him , shouting , What are you doing ? Your mother and I are old ! Do you really want us to bury our own child ? Seamus realized , even as he spoke , that his own sons hair was whiter than his .
Prematurely gray his son had aged before his time .
Janet , noticing Seamuss shock , clung to Duncan , sobbing .
Duncan , please , Im begging you .
Dont do this .
I cant live without you .
You cant die .
There are so many women in the world youll find someone better than Audrey .
Janet had never liked Audrey .
She had no family background , no connections nothing that could help her son succeed .
