At that moment, both Jerry's father's wife and the ex-girlfriend shook their heads slowly in agreement, their eyes dark with quiet determination. But even with the agreement, something about Jerry's ex didn't sit right. She forced a small smile, but deep inside, her chest felt tight with frustration.
She wasn't satisfied.
Yes, Jerry's father's wife was ruthless. Yes, her plans always leaned toward perfection, secrecy, and long-term damage. But that wasn't what she wanted. Jerry's ex didn't just want Abigail to disappear. She wanted to see her suffer. She wanted to see her cry and beg. She wanted to be there to witness her downfall, to watch her beauty, her confidence, her so-called strength crumble into dust.
This quiet disappearance thing felt too easy. Too... incomplete.
