Chapter 144 Lost Opportunity

• That night, when I lay on my bed staring at the ceiling in the dark, my phone suddenly buzzed on the nightstand as its screen lit up. My heart jumped because I knew exactly who it was even before I reached my hand for my phone. The message was a harsh reminder from Rosabella.
• 'Tick tock, tick tock. Four days left, my dear Abigail. Will you tell your mother, or shall I do it myself?'
• A shiver ran through me before an ugly cry escaped my lips. I flung my phone onto the bed and curled up under the blankets as my stomach twisted so badly I thought that I might become sick.
