"...did someone try to kill you?"
Silence followed Finn's question. None of them spoke once those words left his mouth. All they could do was stare at each other in pure, heavy stillness.
As for Lola, she gazed down, her brows knitting together.
"Someone tried to kill me?" she whispered to herself, touching the back of her neck as an unsettling feeling crept into her heart. "Who would do such a thing?"
Back then, Loren was still alive. So Jasmine couldn't have tried to kill her. And she didn't think it was Lawrence either. That man had been too busy raising his daughter and nurturing his affair. Mike? He was rotting in jail, serving his time.
After a second, her mouth fell open and her heart slowed a beat.
Was it Loren? she whispered to her heart. Did she… try killing me?
Was Loren's guilt consuming her every time she looked at Lola? Did she decide to take Lola with her? Or did she think that if Lola was gone, her own death and secrets would be buried forever?
