When There Is Nothing Left But Love

Since the cat was let out of the bag, there was no need to put up a pretense. “It wouldn’t hurt to try. Worst case scenario, I’d just lose my worthless life and join my child in the afterlife. No big deal.”

He frowned slightly and glanced sideways at Cameron, lowering his voice as he reprimanded, “Harming a child? Since when did you become so inhumane?”

Cameron looked aggrieved upon being questioned. “Zachary, do you know how hard Rebecca’s life has been? I just couldn’t bear to see our daughter suffer anymore!”

“Outrageous!” Zachary seethed with anger. “You’ll only end up ruining Rebecca by overindulging her like this.”

Cameron bowed her head, her eyes turning red. “Both of us have owed her too much over the years.”

Zachary heaved a sigh and directed his gaze to me. “Ms. Stovall, what’s done is done. You can state your condition. We’ll do our best to compensate you for the harm we’ve caused.”

I felt like laughing. This couple was really something else; one committed the crime while the other offered hush money. They made quite the pair.

I straightened my back and looked them in the eye. “Since both of you are so sincere, forget about money and status. You know that I’m not lacking in those. How about this? A life for a life. Rather than waiting for karma to run its course, you both can make it happen right away. If I’m not mistaken, Ms. Larson is nearing her due date. Why don’t you let both children accompany each other in the afterlife?”

“Don’t step out of line, Scarlett!” Cameron’s face flushed with panic. “Do you really think you’re all that just because you have some influential figures on your side? Let me tell you, you’re still an amateur!”

I smiled coldly and nodded without an ounce of anger. “You’re right, Ms. Anderson. I know I’m still an amateur, but time is on my side and there are plenty of opportunities to come.”
