Road To Hell

Sophia felt a wave of dread wash over her, her heart pounding in her chest. Her hands trembled as she searched for Evelyn's contact on her phone. Yes, she hated Elias now, but not to the point of harming him. Evelyn could never use him to get to her! Desperately, she dialed Evelyn's number, but after several attempts, there was no answer. Each unanswered call only heightened her anxiety.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Evelyn picked up.

"Where is Eli?" Sophia demanded, not bothering with pleasantries.

Evelyn frowned at the question. "How would I know?" she replied, walking away from the group of ladies. Avery smiled at the elder woman, excusing herself by saying it was a company call. Gracia's mood didn't look good, and they didn't want to worsen it. She needed to celebrate this night, not drown in bitterness.
