"Everett, have you lost your mind?" Heather's voice thundered through the air, her disbelief palpable.
Everett, however, simply stepped back, an unreadable calm washing over his features.
"Dorothy, I kept my promise to you. I did everything I said I would." His hopes hadn't been met, but he was letting go.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWithout another word, Everett turned on his heel and climbed back into his car, driving away without a moment's hesitation.
Dorothy watched the car until Heather's loud, mocking laughter echoed from within.
"Oh Everett, my whole life's been wrecked because of you, and to think you too have someone you can't have! How perfect, how just, what sweet karma! I thought I was the only one going mad, but you- you're even crazier than I am!" A dark shadow of hatred flickered in Dorothy's eyes as she turned her face away.
"Heather, Everett left you in my hands, along with all the video evidence. This time, you're not escaping the consequences!" Heather sneered. "What can you do with svideos? I might as well tell you, I gave them to you on purpose! Let's see if they help you overturn that old lady's case, if you can use them to topple the might of the Lopez Corporation!" "So, your plan was to make the videos disappear, right?" Heather's expression faltered. "How did you..." "Everett gavea copy, one that he had secured." Her legs went weak, and she had to clutch the wrought iron railing to keep upright. "Impossible, Everett would never do that! The mastermind is his mother, his own flesh and blood! He must know this is murder, a capital offense!" This could bring the whole Lopez Corporation down- an impact immeasurable! Everett's actions were akin to self-destruction.
"Who else but him would have the means?" Heather was left speechless.
Dorothy closed her eyes, steadying her emotions before speaking in a hoarse whisper, "When you all thought power could trample life, you never foresaw this day. So why should I care about the consequences you face? My mother has been bedridden for years, never even met Everett's mother, and yet she was murdered by you two!" She couldn't bear to imagine her mother's despair and helplessness in her final moments- dying without a loved one by her side, her daughter not even there to say goodbye.
"I don't believe you. You're bluffing, lying!" Heather refused to accept this truth.
Heather had thought Everett would go to any length to protect his mother, which meant he would also keep her safe, minimizing the scandal.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was just a matter of not being able to have Everett, but she could still ensure her own survival, no matter what happened.
"That's what you think. The truth will cout in court," Dorothy said, turning to leave.
But Heather called out, "Dorothy, I really want to know, do you even love Everett?" Dorothy stiffened, her lips sealed in silence.
"If he knew about your mental illness, that you're incapable of loving m anyone, would he have ever cared for you in the first place?" "Even if he didn't care for me, he wouldn't care for you," Dorothy retorted.
"He would! Everett just loved the wrong person! You'll never understand what he wants, Dorothy. comments, He wants your complete trust, your unconditional love - something you can't give, something you'll never be able to give. The only person who truly gets him is me!"
