Chapter 30: Upper Hand

Charlotte stared at the phone in Abigail’s hand. Abigail stood a good pace away from her stepmother, because even though she was sure the woman would never attempt anything as common as grabbing something from her, she was at the point where she just wasn’t going to put absolutely anything past the woman.

Abigail had forgotten, once before, to record something when Charlotte spoke to her. She was never going to make that same mistake ever again. As soon as she’d come down the stairs and heard them speaking, she had opened her phone and began recording, Video and all.

She had learnt how to live in this life that she had been thrown into. Where trust was a very imaginary and child’s plaything.

“I’ve recorded everything, with the video playing,” Abigail clarified, assuring her stepmother. “So don’t worry, there will be no mistaking the man you were just speaking to.”

Charlotte seethed, “How dare you record me without my permission!” She screamed. “That’s illegal.”
