Chapter 1

AbigailThe rumble of an approaching car broke my train of thought as I dozed on the balcony. I frowned slightly. Strange. My husband, Conrad, was already home—he’d parked in his usual spot over an hour ago.I leaned over the railing, and watched as the car came to a stop in the driveway. The driver’s door opened, and my curiosity only grew when I saw who stepped out. It was a woman, but I couldn’t see her face as her head was covered by a shawl. I quickly slipped into my slippers and went downstairs.As I came to the bottom, I couldn’t see who it was at first, only Conrad by the doorway as he spoke to the woman just beyond my view. He was smiling—a smile so wide and bright it made me pause. I took a step closer, and that’s when she came into view, turning toward me with familiar grey eyes and delicate brown hair.It was my widowed sister-in-law, Susanna.She glanced at me with a smile. She’d been staying over on and off since her husband Alexander’s passing, but lately, her presence

Chapter 2

AbigailAs I sat there on the examination table, the sharp antiseptic scent in the hospital room pricked at my senses. My vision kept blurring around the edges, fueled by the sight of my own blood staining the gauze the doctor pressed against my foot. Every instinct screamed at me to look away.The doctor glanced up, his brows knitting together as he took in my pale face and trembling hands. He’d been treating me in silence for a few minutes now, but I could sense his growing concern. He held my gaze with patience, waiting for me to take a breath and settle myself. “Are you all right?” His voice was soft as if he knew that just the act of being in the same room as this open wound was almost too much for me. I forced a tight smile, nodding, though I couldn’t bring myself to answer.The doctor’s expression softened. “It’s clear you’re not very comfortable around blood. You don’t have to be brave about it with me.”I nodded weakly.He offered an understanding smile. “It’s more common t

Chapter 3

Abigail “What are you doing in here?” I asked sharply, my voice cutting through the quiet. Susanna held up one of my scarves against her arm, admiring it. “Oh, don’t be so dramatic,” she said, waving a hand. “I’m just getting settled. I’ll be staying in this room.” I blinked, the words taking a moment to sink in. “Excuse me?” Her grey eyes sparkled with amusement. “It makes sense, doesn’t it? You and Conrad need to be close if I need anything, and my room is so far down the hall. It’s just more convenient for everyone if I stay here.” My pulse quickened, anger rising swiftly. “This is our room. I and Conrad’s. You don’t just decide to move in without even asking.” Susanna smirked, unfazed by the heat in my voice. “I wasn’t asking. Conrad said I could stay here.” “Did he?” I said, my tone ice-cold. “I find that hard to believe.” Our voices rose, each word louder than the last, until the door creaked open behind us. Conrad entered the room, his expression wary as he took in the

Chapter 4

AbigailMy stomach dropped. “What?” “Susanna fainted,” he said, his voice rising. “The doctors think it could be something she ate. She said it started after breakfast.” “You think I did something to her?” I snapped, my frustration boiling over. “I’m not accusing you,” he said, though his tone didn’t fully match his words. “I just need to know if there was anything unusual in the food. Susanna’s health—”“Was fine when I left the house,” I interrupted sharply. “I made her an omelette. Eggs, cheese, a pinch of salt. Nothing unusual. The same thing I’ve made a hundred times before.” He sighed on the other end of the line, and I could almost picture him pinching the bridge of his nose. “I’m not accusing you of anything, Abigail. I just—” “Just what?” I interrupted. “I’m here at the hospital, dealing with my own recovery, and now I have to defend myself because Susanna fainted? You think I’d harm her?” There was a long pause, and for a moment, I thought he’d hung up. Finally, he sai
