Chapter 261


    Chapter 261 You’re really just a zero


    Moore looked like a shadow of her former self, all gaunt with dark circles that screamed of rough nights


    behind bars. The fire in her eyes when she saw me, however, was as fierce as ever. She red across


    the table, and I bet if it were not there, she would have lunged at me, ws out.

    vette, to think you would end up like this. Talk about payback!” she cackled, her face twisted in a wild


    sneer. “An eye for an eye, right? I might be behind bars for a bit, but you? You’re looking at a lifetime of


    cold, hard floors and iron bars for what you did!”


    Her words were like poison, dripping with the conviction that I was Noah’s killer.


    I met her gaze, cool as ice, and said, “An eye for an eye? Sounds like you know the truth. So tell me,


    Moore, if that is the case, should you not be the one rotting away in here? You’re the one who killed


    Noah. Or did you forget?”


    “You’re spitting lies!” she exploded. “Yvette, you’re the killer. I saw you do it with my own two eyes. You


    cannot hide from this. Karma ising for you!”


    She almost had me second–guessing–had I done it? Her outburst was so convincing that she could


    have fooled herself.


    I could not help butugh, and she caught me in the act.


    Her smile vanished, reced by a scowl as she bore into me with her eyes. “What’s so funny?”


    I leaned in, my voice dripping with feigned innocence. “Karma. Ever heard of it?”


    She froze, her face a mask of shock. I did not give her a chance to answer, however. “I’m a believer


    now. I was not before, but seeing you, Moore… When was thest time you dared to look at yourself in


    the mirror?”


    Her face, already worn and ghostly, contorted with anger. “What are you getting at, Yvette?”


    I kept my smile, locking eyes with her. “Moore, I bet Noah’s ghost is keeping you up at night, is he not?


    And your baby, almost ready to be born… You ended his life, and his father’s. Two souls. Tell me,


    Moore, do you ever sleep without nightmares?”


    “Shut your mouth!” Her eyes zed with fury, a clear sign I had hit a nerve. “You have no right to judge


    me! Yvette, Noah was after you. You’re the killer, not me!”


    I let out a coldugh, unfazed. “So what if it was me? You’ve been behind bars for weeks now, right?


    Spending every day hoping for Idris to visit, to save you? That’s the thing about people -they are so


    easy to break when they want something badly enough.” Even someone as cruel as Moore could not


    hide that truth.


    I could tell exactly what she was hoping for. However, I was not about to let her get her way. Her eyes


    were practically sparkling with anticipation. I could not help but let out a snide chuckle, despite this. I


    slowly slid the jade bracelet up my wrist, unting it. “Too bad you’re stuck in your little daydream.


    Since you’ve been locked up, he hasn’t spared you a second thought, not a single word. He’s been too


    busy showering me with attention, trying to make things right, and figuring out how to make me stay.”


    “What crap!” Moore’s voice cracked, her emotions a tangled mess, just like any woman caught up in a


    man’s supposed affection.


    Her eyes were fiery, almost glowing red with rage. “Yvette, your smugness won’tst. Your downfall is


    coming.”


    Laughing was something I could not help. “Wanna bet? Let’s see who walks out of here without a


    scratch and who ends up rotting away in a cell, forgotten and alone. Oh, and I almost forgot to mention,


    your dear Idris dropped by to see me yesterday. He assured me he wouldn’t let me stay here much


    longer.”


    She was trembling with fury. “Yvette, cut the crap. You think I’m going to fall for your lies? Iddy is only


    nice to you because you helped him out once. Without that, you’re nothing.”
