"Eva, are you okay? Did she hurt you? Where are-" "Leo, are you out of your mind? You think I would let her tell you where she is?" Lily waved the knife in front of my face, warningto stay silent.
"Just clear my non Twitter. If I'm leaving the country, I can't be a fugitive.
"None of this was my fault. Just tell everyone you made it all up." *Remember: Lily, the innocent woman who was deceived by you, the woman you forced to get rid of her child. Got it?" "Fine." Leonard's voice was tight with anger, and I could practically hear him gritting his teeth.

Lily sounded very happy as she hung up the phone.
That half-hour felt like an eternity. The delivery guy called Lily outside, leavingalone in the room.
I regained a bit of strength from eating the oatmeal earlier and started to take in my surroundings.
I realized we were at what seemed to be an abandoned quarry.
I vaguely remembered hearing about a quarry on the outskirts of town that had been shut down after an accident.

She knew everything. So, why hadn't she just stuck to making money from the start?
Lily ignored my silence, her bitterness spilling out as she dialed Leonard's number again. This time, she made it clear, "Leonard, if you want Eva alive, calone. Meetin the mountains.
"But don't worry-once the money's in my account, you can take her home. I swear on my dead child." Leonard didn't have a choice. He agreed.
After the call, Lily tossed my phone into a bucket of water without a second thought.
"Now we just wait for him to show up.
