As they wheeled me out toward the ambulance , I caught a glimpse of Dads superior .
He was standing off to the side , staring intently at his phone , his face dark with anger .
He hadnt even finished the video before his phone buzzed .
Yes , sir ! Understood .
Were moving to arrest Roger Quinn immediately ! Meanwhile , my family blissfully unaware was still celebrating .
Lila pulled a pack of alcohol wipes from her designer bag and carefully dabbed at a tiny spot on Moms blouse .
Mom , where did it touch you ? We have to make sure its completely clean , she cooed .
Blood is so unlucky .
If it brings you bad vibes , Ill feel awful .
Mom smiled warmly , patting Lilas head like she was a precious doll .
Oh , sweetie , youre always so thoughtful .
Always worried about me .
Not like … some people , who only ever think about themselves .
She doesnt even realize , Mom continued , if your father and I had shown up , it wouldnt just be us losing our jobs it couldve destroyed our entire family ! Lila threw her arms around Mom , tears brimming in her eyes .
Thank goodness you and Dad didnt go ! If it had been me , I would never admit to being your daughter .
Even if they tortured me to death , I wouldnt let them harm you in any way ! Moms face softened , her voice full of affection .
See ? Thats why Ive always said bringing her back into our lives was a mistake .
Charlotte was nothing but a burden from the moment she was born she even made my delivery a nightmare and ruined my career prospects .
But you , Lila youre my treasure .
Youve never caused any trouble for us .
Youve always made us proud .

Dont even bring her up .
Shes a buzzkill .
We never shouldve taken her back .
She was already kidnapped she shouldve stayed gone .
Look at her now .
She doesnt even look like she belongs to us .
And to think she had the nerve to expect the same treatment as Lila … Shes absolutely shameless ! Mom let out a sigh , her voice cold and dismissive .
Some people are just born unlucky .
She wasnt meant to have a good life .
Whats happening to her now ? Its just karma .
At least , she added , she managed to serve one purpose taking Lilas place as a target .
Thats probably the only value shes ever had .
Dad nodded , a smug grin spreading across his face .
Now that the kidnappers are dead , theres no one left to expose the video from back then .
Our problems are finally over .
Everything worked out perfectly .
Lila glanced at me from across the room , a sly smile tugging at the corners of her mouth .
But what if she wakes up ? What if she says something to someone ? Mom let out a low chuckle .
Dont worry about that .
Shes not even on our family records anymore , and your dad made sure to erase any connection between us .
Even if she talks , we can just have her declared mentally unstable .
Whos going to believe her over us ? Were respected officers of the law .
This uniform guarantees no one will question us .
Beep beep beeeeeep .
The heart monitor beside me let out a shrill , steady tone as the lines on the screen flattened .
Shes crashing ! one of the nurses shouted .
The medics sprang into action , pressing down on my chest in a desperate attempt to pull me back from the brink .
