Josie scanned their surroundings, afraid that Wayne would see them.
“Josie, don’t worry,” Ruth assured. “This is my little secret. No one else knows about this place.”
Josie held Ruth’s hands tightly. “What if your dad suspects you when I leave?”

Josie froze. She wanted to respond but couldn’t give her the reply Ruth wanted, so she kept her
thoughts to herself.
“Ruth, I’ll always remember you.”
As soon as she said that, she ran towards Moses. The staff members couldn’t contain their delight and
overwhelming relief at the sight of her. “Mrs. Russell!”
Josie caught her breath before turning around and noticing that Ruth had already left.
“Let’s go!”
Josie struggled to wrap her head around the idea that she had finally escaped. She finally sighed in
relief when she leaned back into the car seat as the car sped away from the villa.

When everyone left, Heather poured a cup of coffee for Dexter, whose knuckles were white from
clenching his fists. “It’s not yet summer. Why are you so easily angered?”
Dexter had a look of disdain masking his face. The news that Josie might be dead had sent him into a
tailspin. He had been feeling anxious and uneasy since he couldn’t reach her.
