“I told you that woman was putting on an act,” Levi said sounding very furious. He dropped his phone onthe table and sat on the bed while he tried to unbutton his shirt.“What did he say,” Bethany inquired as she rushed to him.“That witch woke up halfway to the hospital, said she was okay and didn’t need to see the doctor”.“What? That woman is so sly. How dare she do that? She ruined the party for everyone, and to think Ieven felt sorry for her?” she said in utter disgust as she still couldn’t believe Natalie will go that far tohurt them.Lisa paced up and down the room, and frequently looked at the clock.

Calm down Grandma, I’m here to help you. Please listen to me.”“Liar, why should I listen to you, so you can finish what those witches, Sabrina, and her friends started? I won’t listen, get out this minute or I’ll hit you with this” she snapped as she continued holding the flower vase against her.I might be old, but I’m definitely smart. Sabrina sent that witch to kill me the way she killed my daughter, and when she wasn’t able to, she sent you. That’s why you’re here right?”“Yes, Natalie is my friend, I know she is hiding something big but I don’t know what it is, that’s why I’m here to find out.

It’s not here, how didn’t I figure this out earlier? I would keep it in a place where no one would even think.But this house isn’t big, it can’t be in my room, it’s not in hers as well. Where could it be Lisa, think.“Wait, who said it can’t be in my room? Bingo! That’s where it is. A mix of anxiety and excitement filled the atmosphere. For some reason, she felt like she was close to her goal. Looking keenly at the finest details, she realized the handle attached to a corner of the bed stand wasn’t just a fancy decoration, for some reason she had not seen it before.She approached it, and dragged it outwardly as though she was trying to
