Chapter 14 – The SUV
That night, someone followed Ella home from the grocery store.
A black SUV.
No plates visible.
She called me immediately.
I stayed calm.
“Drive to the police station,” I told her.
“But what if—”
“Ella.”
My voice cut clean through her panic.
“He wants you afraid. Don’t give him the ending he wants.”
She breathed once. Twice. Then obeyed.
The SUV disappeared three blocks before the station.
Cowards always retreat when witnesses appear.
At midnight, Daniel called me.
“Beckett’s unraveling,” he said. “His father froze his accounts. Half the board resigned. Prosecutors are pushing for criminal conspiracy charges now.”
“And Beckett?”
A pause.
May you like
“He blames Ella.”
Of course he did.
