“What do you mean?” he asks, clearly not believing what I was saying. Before I could answer, a knock on the door interrupted. Brian excuses himself and goes to open the door. For some reason, I’m not surprised when Rowan walks into the room. “You’re just in time, Rowan,” Brian tells him. “Ava was
I sigh in relief. Finally, I was able to prove that Emma isn’t as evil as others believed. My head was killing me, and I just wanted to sleep. “Are we done now?” I asked Brian. “Can I leave? And can she be released?” “Yes. As for Emma, she’ll have to wait a little bit in order for us to process he

It’s been six months since that day, and saying I’m happy would be an understatement. Christine was sentenced to a psych hospital for life, but she mysteriously died after a couple of weeks there. Her uncle was never found, but word is he was killed, and his body was fed to crocodiles. Both cases ha
