Chase was smug, my dad was stressed, Britney
clung to Jake, and Jake looked guilty.
Chase won.
Then, I objected.
I put in a hard drive.
Chase was torturing his wife.
Chase was mad. Jake held him.
My dad was stressed.
Then, Chase and Britney were in Hawaii.
She had given the shares to him.
After that, the vote was taken again.

Jake won.

I knew Britney and Chase were up to
something.
Britney worshiped Chase.
Last time, Britney was useless. Now, to get her
shares, Chase would go after her.
He would get Britney to ruin Jake and I, so
Chase would take me.
But, Jake respects me, and I don’t care about
him.
Chase stepped down.
He looked at me that day. I waved goodbye.

Britney had an abortion. Jake never came back.
I saved Lily from the basement.
I stood in front of her hospital bed and said,
“I’m the president’s wife again.”
Lily cried.
“Yes, I remembered. You hate me, but I saved
you.”
I left.
Lily would be tortured for the rest of her life.

Three years later, I was kidnapped.
Chase said, “I’ve been thinking about you.
Welcome to my side.”

I shuddered.
He brought me overseas and prepared
everything for me.

“I get it now. You’re the key!
Do you know how amazing you are? You can fix
anything. What can’t you do?”
“You should be my woman!”
I smiled.
“Chase, I’ll never be your woman.”
I stabbed him with a needle.
He grabbed my dress and fell to the ground.
Then, Jake broke in.
He grabbed me and cried.
