Samantha gave him a sweet smile. “I understand, Adrian.” She gently held his hand. “What matters is that our
family is together again.”
But once Adrian, too, had gone, her smile vanished in an instant. She walked to the window, gazing toward the
distant Hawthorne residence, her nails digging deep into her palms.
“Pathetic,” she scoffed. “A bunch of useless cowards. You're afraid of her; I'm not.”
“Sloane...” she whispered softly, “you think the Hawthornes can keep you safe?” From inside her coat, she pulled
out a small vial filled with an eerie blue powder. “I'll show you what it means to live a life worse than death...”

The sound of raindrops pelting against the tall windows suddenly sharpened, like countless tiny fingers tapping
on the glass.
“At first, it was only a suspicion,” Sloane said quietly, her fingers brushing over his tie, smoothing out a crease
that wasn’t there. “But now that you've toldshe entered the Rivers residence, I'm certain.”
Lucas caught her restless hand, his frown deepening. “When did you start to suspect her?”
