Must Read: Before She Dies

Stella got to a roundabout, slowed down the Honda Accord and took the second exit for the Inspector General’s apartment. The atmosphere was getting dull and the skies showed signs of impending downpour. She turned on the headlights, put her foot down on the accelerator and the speedometer rose to 130.

She was convinced the IG would handle them appropriately. He knew how best to handle criminals. She visualized herself standing inside the court, testifying against her mum and Anabel in the dock, and witnessing as justice took its full course, and she found her lips smiling at the thought. Very soon, all these would be over. She assured herself. And she would begin her life all over. She still had the IG. He would help her get over everything that had happened.
