Chapter 27

• Hannah
• Richard is very mistaken if he truly thinks I will leave his life so easily. I have come for his money, and until I have it, I will not leave him alone. Besides, I think I quite like being his wife. I have much more staying by his side than just stealing what I can and disappearing again. I can live a life of luxury and comfort that I love so much without fear of the money running out. However, I made a mistake in approaching him so abruptly. I don't understand why I forgot my victim role. And of course, my dear husband is an excellent lawyer. I knew he wouldn’t buy the kidnapping story. Now all I can do is set up the whole scenario I described.
• I need help to turn my lie into truth. As much as I dislike the idea, I will have to turn to my former partner. He loves money, and if he knows there is a lot at stake, he won’t refuse. Although, he may have some things to charge me for. Anyway, whether I like it or not, he is my only salvation at this moment. I know he has the necessary people to make it work, and he doesn’t mind sacrificing anyone as long as he makes a good profit. I just have to make it clear that I will not work for him again as a prostitute. I refuse to go back to that miserable life.
