Chapter 66: Ellie

Eight weeks later

"Ellie, you don't have to do this. Tobias will rip me to shreds when he finds out that I put you in danger," Claire said.

"What he doesn't know won't hurt him, darling." I chuckled. Claire and I both knew how he would have reacted if we had presented this idea to him.

Andrew was still out there, living off drug money, enjoying the high life. Maybe Tobias could forget about it, but I certainly couldn't. There were rumours that he hadn't been seen since Adrian got sent down. He left my father's office that same afternoon, never to return again. I hadn't been sleeping very well in the past few days constantly thinking about him getting away with everything, and how not one of us got any closure.

"Ellie, please. I don't want to believe-"

"I asked you to do one thing for me, one thing, Claire, so you can't bail on me now. Everything is going to be fine. Just trust me," I said.
