Chapter 48 A Strange Revelation

• Jessica nodded in the affirmative, that she understood everything that Charlotte had said. She would be damned if she let herself get killed when she had a chance to get free after Sebastian’s uncle had ordered that she be killed. She still did not understand any of what Charlotte’s mission was, and frankly, she did not give a flying fuck. All that mattered was that she got out of the whole thing alive and well … or as well as could be, considering her current state.
• “Of course, I don’t need to tell you that when I said you are to keep a low profile, I meant that you are to stay away, not just from Sebastian and his family, but also from everyone that you know, your family included,” Charlotte said, watching Jessica intently as though she would be able to decipher from her face if she would follow these instructions to the letter or not.
• Jessica nodded again, feeling like an agama lizard. It felt like she had been nodding all day long, and she was beginning to have a headache and to feel sleepy, but she did not let any of these show. She needed to be on a high alert. Jessica was not sure that she could kill a fellow human being, so if that was what this Charlotte wanted her to do to Sebastian’s uncle, she was not sure if she would be able to do it when the time came, but she was not about to say any of that to her captor’s hearing.
