"Ryan?" I ask carefully, going down the stairs when I hear something break.

Ryan should be coming back soon, which is why I'm startled when I hear noise coming from the back. Is he back so early?

I reach to turn the lights on in the kitchen, but before I can, a blade is being held to my neck. "Remove your hand." I freeze, and my eyes widen in recognition of the voice. "Isabelle?" I ask in fear, lowering my hand. "Move," she says, pushing me to the garden out the back and pushing me onto the floor.

She's supposed to be in jail.

"You bitch, you ruined everything. You stole my husband! You ruined my name and my whole life. Not to mention, you bankrupted my parents. You're an ungrateful slut!" She shouts, pointing the knife at me, and I shiver, hoping Ryan will come home early today.
