Chapter 232: Richie's Back

Richie woke up from the coma. What does that mean for me?

Hudson's words play on repeat in my brain. Over and over and over and over.

Richie woke up.

My face pales even though my body readies to run and adrenaline floods my system. I'm ready to stand up and flee from the office building that felt safe a few minutes earlier.

I'm not worried because he's woken up, but because now I don't know what happens next. Who will he name as having been on the scene? How much detail will he be able to give? Will he be the one to out my lies? Why haven't I confessed sooner?

A sickening sensation grows in my stomach. I'm too aware the happy life I had a minute ago is about to come crashing down around the building. Will I be buried under the rubble or will the same fate who brought me Hudson step in to get me out of this mess, too?

Did she fuck with me after all?
