Up to 30% off Marlene’s heart raced as she paced back and forth in her shared room with Kayden. The sound of her footsteps echoed in the large space, a restless energy pulsing through her veins. She bit her nails. compulsively, a nervous habit she couldn't shake, as she waited for Kayden to cout of the bathroom.

Minutes stretched into eternity as her anxiety grew, the weight of her worries pressing down on her chest. The uncertainty of the situation with Alison and the havoc her sister Amber had caused gnawed at her, fueling her restlessness.

Finally, the bathroom door creaked open, and Kayden stepped out, a towel loosely wrapped around hi waist. He took in Marlene’s agitated state, her pacing and anxious expression not going unnoticed.

“Babe, what's going on? Why do you look so stressed out?” Kayden called.

Marlene let out a frustrated sigh, her hands clenching into fists at her sides. She met Kayden'’s gaze, the tension in her body visible. “It’s that useless bitch, Amber, that’s causing problems for me, ” she blurted out. “Can you believe that she managed to put Alison in jail? Now everything's a mess, and | don’t know what to do.” “And who's Alison?” he asked.

Marlene scoffed in disbelief. “How can you forget who Alison is, Kayden? She's that therapist friend of Amber's. The one | talked to you about. Don’t you remember?” Kayden thought for a moment until the nfinally clicked with him. “Oh, you mean that girl that Amber was seeing after she lost the baby?” he asked to confirm.

“Yes, that’s her,” Marlene confirmed.

Kayden scoffed. “Why in the world did Amber have her only friend arrested? | thought they were best friends or something like that.” Marlene rolled her eyes at him. “If Alyson was really her best friend, would she have helpedcause Amber's miscarriage?

Marlene’s hands trembled slightly as she recounted the events to Kayden. She explained how Amber had found out about Alison’s involvement in tampering with her drugs, leading to Alison's arrest and the revocation of her medical license.

Kayden listened intently, a furrow forming between his brows as he processed the gravity of Marlene’s words.

“So, letget this straight,” Kayden began. “Amber found out that Alison was behind the tampering of her drugs, and that led to Alison's arrest. If that's the case, then why are you so concerned. about Alison, Marlene? It doesn’t seem like this situation has anything to do with you.” Marlene shot Kayden a disapproving glare, her gaze sharp. She took a deep breath before responding. “Alison knows too much,” she stated bluntly, her voice laced with a hint of urgency. “She was more involved in everything than you realize.” “What do you mean, she knows too much? Tell me, Marlene. You're not allowed to keepin the darl Marlene hesitated for a moment, then took a step closer to Kayden, her voice lowering to a conspiratorial whisper. “It was Alison who provided the drugs that caused complications for Amber's pregnancy in the first place,” she confessed, her words heavy with grave significance. “Not only that, but she helpedacquire the main drugs | used to induce Amber's miscarriage.” “And that’s not all,” Marlene continued. “After Amber's divorce from you, Alison helpedswitch her medication to ensure that Amber would spiral into a state of madness. Since | wanted to make sure Amber lost everything, including her sanity, | had to ask for her help, and she willingly helped since she has her own personal vendetta against Amber.” Kayden'’s jaw clenched involuntarily, a surge of conflicting emotions coursing through him. “So, what exactly is the problem, Marlene? | get that you worked with her in the past, and now she’s in jail, but why are you so stressed out like she has the power to do anything to you?” Marlene’s gaze met his, and she wondered why he couldnt quickly understand what she was trying to say “The problem is, Alison knows too much, Kayden,” she reiterated. “And to top it off, she’s in jail, which means she’s likely feeling cornered right now, and the fact that she’s in jail is already makingrestless. | don’t know what she might do next, so | can’t shake off this feeling of unease.” He let out a frustrated sigh, trying to process everything Marlene had just said. Seeing how desperately she wanted something done, he asked her the next best question.

“Just tellstraightforwardly what you wantto do, Marlene. Should | get her out of jail, or is there something else you have in mind?” he asked.

“I want you to get her out first, so she thinks I'm still on her side and that I'm trying to protect her. | don’t want to give her any reason to think that I'm no longer on our side or that | want to leave her hanging.” Marlene responded.

“If I manage to do what you want and | get her out of jail, what else are you going to do to keep her out of your way?” Kayden asked, knowing very well that it wouldn't just end there with Marlene’s personality.

“Once she’s out, | want you to get rid of her so she won't ever cause problems for me, ever again,” she said, and Kayden chuckled.

“You mean you want to have her killed, right?” Kayden asked.

Marlene rolled her eyes a the obvious. “Yes, Kayden. | want you to release her and then kill her in the most natural way possible.” n Comments for this chapter Continue Reading Skin ads for 18 0 or G 15:41 Mon, 4 Mar G GB.
