Her Next Prey

Lilian watched everything that happened with Joshua.

She saw how they all rallied around him as if he was somehow a part of them, this made her feel that Audrey was right when she said—Joshua was one of them.

A twinge of discomfort of not trusting the butler she grew up with lingered in her mind. But she had to.

It was the only way to prevent their enemy ears from knowing their every move. 

She needed to distance herself away from Joshua so that when the pieces fell apart as planned, he wouldn't have to choose whose side he would be on.

Lilian needed a new plan.

A new subject.

A new target.

Someone she could manipulate into thinking that they were friends and would be only there to help her exact her revenge.

Before things could escalate, Lilian slipped out of the venue. She couldn't shake the feeling that someone was following her.
