Eleanorâs face warped at Rosalynnâs words.
âDonât spout such nonsense, Rosalynn!â
âIâm not the one spouting nonsense.
â
Rosalynnâs tone was ice-cold.
âIf the baby wasnât Johnâs, why did you instruct the waiter to spike his wine with double the aphrodisiacs, causing his sudden death?
Youâre craftier than I thought, Eleanor.
You not only offed John but also pinned the blame on Valeria and terminated your own pregnancy.
Three objectives achieved with a single ploy.
Such a schemer!
Now that the waiter tried to blackmail you, you decided to kill him to prevent future troubles.
Have you been reading too many crime stories, Eleanor, dreaming you could get away scot-free?â
Rosalynnâs revelations landed like blows to Eleanorââs core, draining all color from her face.
âNo, Rosalynn, youâre wrong.
I didnât kill John, and the baby was Brianâs, not his.

She had to convince Brian that the child was his.
It was the only way Brian might come to her rescue.
âMy husband told me heâs never been intimate with you,â Rosalynn retorted, her voice Laced with a finality that made Eleanorâs heart sink.
Tiring of the exchange, she rose from her seat.
âEleanor, do yourself a favor.
Confess to the police, get it over with, and perhaps theyâll show you some leniency.
â
Rosalynnâs impending exit threw Eleanor into a panicked frenzy.

âNo, Rosalynn, Brianâs been lying to you! You canât always trust a manâs word! Please, get him to come see me.
I need him to see me
Rosalynn glanced back at the disarrayed woman, shaking her head in disbelief.
She thought Eleanor couldâve used her time more wisely, honing her acting skills perhaps, rather than spiraling down into this abyss of misconduct.
âWait, Rosalynn! I have a secret, something that could help you.
But you need to get Brian to help me in return
Rosalynn paused mid-step, turning back to Eleanor as her words wafted in the air.
âWhat secret?â
Eleanorâs chest heaved.
She looked at Rosalynn and said, âEver wonder who your birth parents are? Get Brian to help me, and Iâll share everything I know.
â
Her parents?
Rosalynn found herself studying Eleanor, her sharp gaze seeking out any signs of deceit.
