Chapter 31 A Second Too Late

• Despite Alora’s pleas and endless explanation, they weren’t moved by her plight. Instead, Molitta sneered at her, amusement twinkling in her cold eyes. "He won’t come to save you, Alora. By the time we're through with you, he’ll be long gone. You’ll never see him again."
• Molitta was delighted, finally their plan was going as planned, and nothing could go wrong this time. Hanson was far away, and Alora would be subdued until she accepted to divorce Hanson and make right her wrongs.
• Alora struggled to her feet, her body shaking from the effort. "Please," she begged. "Help me. I’m dying..." Her voice trailed off as she reached out toward them, her vision darkening.
