Gia’s hands trembled as she dialed the number.

As soon as the call connected, fear gripped her. “Hello?”

“Well, well, Ms. Gia.” The man’s voice dripped with sarcasm. “Seems like you’ve been quite the avid shopper lately!”

Gia’s face turned pale. She should have known that the credit cards they had given her came with strings attached. They had been monitoring her spending all along!

“What more do you want?” Gia retorted. “Plastic surgery? That costs a fortune! Is he willing to pay for it?”

“Don’t be rude, dear. It’s not cute.”

Is it necessary for you to call me to question me?” Gia was pissed. “Listen up!
