BossNovel"You've always had a thing for violence, but you could never quite find your perfect groove, could you? So you
kept searching, experimenting-right up until that day you broke your girlfriend's leg."
"You're obsessed with broken beauty, but none of them could ever match that ideal you've got in your head."
"Then you met Reese-already wounded, already missing a piece-and suddenly, she was your goddess. Around
her, you becthis perfect gentleman. But there's always been someone whispering in your ear, telling you
you'll never be good enough for her."
At this point, Yves paused, fixing Sylvia with a sharp, suspicious glare.
"How the hell do you know all this?"
"Oh, you think that's all | know?" Sylvia smiled slyly, leaning back a little. "If | keep going, you'll figure out exactly
how | know. Wantto prove it?"
All these details had been public knowledge in her past life, after the police got involved.
Yves was clearly out of patience-he balled his fists, his famously short temper flaring.
"Spit it out! Telleverything!"
"After Reese went hto recover, you started trying to create your own goddess. That's why all your wives
ended up dead, isn't it? None of them were even a tenth as perfect as Reese."
"Exactly!" Yves snapped, teeth clenched. "They were hideous when they smiled! And always callinga control
freak behind my back. Like I didn't know they only marriedfor my money. None of them could hold a candle
to Reese's purity."
"And that's why Kay keeps telling you you'll never be worthy of Reese, right? Your hands are stained with blood-
you'd only taint your goddess. But you could still protect her, keep her pure, as long as you ‘clean up' the people
who might hurt her."

Yves didn't answer, but his face told Sylvia she'd hit the mark.
After a long moment, Yves seemed to put the pieces together. "Kay told you all this?"
"Of course. How else would | know so many details? She's just using you, by the way. She's in love with Mr.
Edwin," Sylvia added smoothly.
"What?" Yves's eyebrows shot up, his whole face darkening.
"She never mentioned it? She and Edwin dated, you know. All these years she's stayed single, not for her career,
but waiting for Edwin. But he turned around and married my mother instead. Kay couldn't stand it, so she started
using you to get at us-"
"Shut your mouth! Stop lying! | saw you flirting with Mr. Rupert with my own eyes!" Yves burst out, his voice
trembling with fury.
"I was just telling Mr. Rupert he had dust on his collar. If you don't believe me, callup any old-timer in Sea Town
and ask if Edwin and Kay were ever a thing." fo s
Sylvia stared Yves down, daring him to act.
Yves didn't even bother with his tools anymore-he snatched up his phone and started dialing.
For someone with Yves's connections, getting the truth out of Sea Town wouldn't be too hard.
It was just the distraction Sylvia needed.
She managed to free one hand and pushed herself up just enough to snatch a scalpel from the nearby tray,
slicing through the rope on her other wrist.
With both hands free, it was easy to untie her ankles.
Meanwhile, Yves must have gotten the answer he was looking for, because he was already angrily calling Kay.
"You lied to me! You just wantto get rid of Sylvia and Naomi so you can run off with Mr. Edwin, isn't that
right?"
"Wait—did Sylvia tell you all this? Don't let her fool you," Kay protested loudly on the other end.

"Bitch! Where do you think you're going?"
At the sound of his shout, Sylvia yanked the door open and bolted.
But when she saw what was waiting outside, she froze in her tracks.
