She Has Been Playing Everyone

POV: Miguel

“Speak, Mom, what did you do?” I asked again, yelling at her as she wouldn’t stop crying. She turned back to me with her eyes reddened from crying so much. If this were any other thing, I would have hung up and handled the rest myself. But this involves my sister’s life and Claire’s as well.

If we don’t get this right, we could lose her again, and this time, it’ll be forever, no coming back. How can I live with myself if I ever let that happen? How can I forgive myself if I let Marisol die at the hands of that mad woman, Eloise?

“Mom, please tell me everything, it will help us save Marisol. Think of what might happen if Eloise finds out that you have discovered the truth. She will automatically think that you have told me everything and she will use it against us. She will come after us with everything she has, and we won’t be able to defend ourselves because we don’t know everything about her yet.

She knows everything about us, Mom; she has been keeping an eye on us
