    Danie snapped, her voice a razor’s edge, “I’m wide awake, Donny. If she doesn’t die before my eyes,


    I’ll never rest in peace.”


    Donny shook his head. “Do you think just because you want her dead, she’ll drop dead?”


    Danie was beyond reason, not even aware she was on the brink of her own demise. “I don’t care. I


    need her gone. Give me a few more hours, and I’ll make sure she’s torn


    apart.”


    Donny sighed, “You got lucky before because Steven was out of the country, and he was caught off


    guard. Now, he’s right by her side. Do you think you can so much as touch a hair on her head? Don’t


    be fooled by Steven’s ever-present smile. That man is a grinning tiger, ready to devour with a smile.”


    Danie spat back, “I’m practically dead already. What about him do I have to fear?”


    Donny replied, “You’re no match for him.”


    “So that’s why I need your help,” Danie insisted.e2


    Donny let out a coldugh. “You think my help would make a difference? Please. Our father couldn’t


    stand up to Steven, let alone us.”


    Donny might not have had the business acumen or the tactics, but he knew a losing game when he


    saw one. “Danie, you’ve got blood on your hands. If Steven decides toe after you, you’re done


    for. Turn yourself in; maybe we can save our necks.”


    Danie sneered, “Cowards, all of you. Strutting around like peacocks in front of nobodies, and now a


    little pressure from Steven has you shaking in your boots. I overestimated you. I thought as long as I


    had you backing me, I could get away with anything.”


    Donny retorted, “We’re in a society governed byws. We could cover up your small-time schemes, but


    murder? Who could cover that up?”


    Danie’s icy gaze lingered on Steven. They had protected her before, but now she was expendable,


    and they had no use for her.


    The ring of the phone broke the silence. Danie snatched it up, “What’s the word?”


    But instead of her minion’s voice, it was Steven’s chilling tone, echoing like a call from the depths of


    hell, “I’m impressed by your determination.”


    It took a moment for Danie to regain herposure. “Steven, where are my people?”


    Steven didn’t reply. The call had ended.


    Donny pressed urgently, “What did you do now?”


    The phone slipped from Danie’s grasp as she copsed onto the couch with a hollowugh.


    Donny asked, “Did you send people after Hannah again?”


    Danie snarled, “That woman’s got more lives than a cat!”


    “You’re out of your mind!” Donny eximed.


    “If I can’t kill her in this life,” Danie said, “I’ll haunt her as a ghost.”


    Suddenly, Danie clutched her stomach and slid to the floor. Donny sprang to action, “Danie, what’s


    wrong?”


    Blood spurted from her lips as sheughed. “I was born into privilege, superior to that lowly woman in


    every way. I only lost because she clung to Steven. I may have lost in this life, but if she thinks she’s


    seen thest of me, she’s mistaken. In the next life, I’ll repay her for everything.”


    Her body convulsed, and then shey still.


    Donny was stunned, “Danie, I’ll take you to the hospital…”


    But Danie did not respond again. Her life, once so vibrant, was forever stilled in that moment.
