Chapter 22 “I just got back yesterday. I thought I’d stop by to see you and Mrs. Jones.” The man’s voice was a low, magnetic baritone, as rich and deep as a cello. Yvonne’s fingers froze on the pages of the album. Her heart hammered against her ribs as if
Chapter 21 “Who is it?” a deep male voice called from the direction of the stairs. Yvonne instinctively turned to see her father, Bruce Jones, descending from the second floor. He was a frugal man, wearing his police uniform year-round as if it were his only set of clothes. Compared
Chapter 20 Teresa had intended to scold Yvonne, but as she stood in the nearly empty room, looking at the handful of plain clothes in the walk-in closet, her anger melted away, replaced by a pang of guilt. She let out a heavy sigh, took Yvonne’s hand, and said, “Are
Chapter 19 “If you can’t speak like a decent human being, then don’t speak at all,” she said coldly. “Tell the Smith family I’ll see them in court p> “You insolent whelp!” George roared, pounding his fist on the table. Yvonne ignored him and stood to leave, but Teresa blocked
Chapter 18 Teresa’s gaze shifted to Yvonne, now filled with suspicion. Yvonne met her stare without flinching, her voice laced with sarcasm. “Fighting?

Chapter 15 “Ah!” Teresa shrieked in pain. To make matters worse, she stepped back directly onto a piece of shattered porcelain. The sharp shard pierced through the thin leather sole of her slipper and embedded itself in the arch of her foot. Teresa’s face contorted in a mask of agony.

Chapter 11 “D-don’t try to scare me! I already told you what happened. There were some leftovers in the kitchen, and I wanted to take them home for my grandson. You not only stopped me but gave me a nasty look. That’s why I resented you and switched your medicine
Chapter 10 The original girl had been branded a liar and a drama queen, making the Spencers despise her even more. Yvonne scowled and wrenched her arm from Jeffrey’s grasp. She wouldn’t waste her breath explaining. The original Yvonne had tried to explain countless times, but no one had ever
Chapter 9 The original Yvonne’s body was truly fragile. Back in her room, Yvonne collapsed onto the bed and fell into a deep, hazy sleep. In a state between dreaming and waking, she heard the faint click of her door being pushed open. As a former police officer and undercover
