Chapter 495


    Her antics scared me so much that I didn''t dare to breathe too loudly, terrified that any sound might


    startle her into falling.


    "Jan, cut the crap with your threats," she spat with venom. "You done using me, huh? And now you


    have the nerve to boss me around, demanding the kid? By what right?"


    "He''s my son!" Jan roared, unable to contain his fury.


    "Now you remember you want your son, it’s toote! Ha-ha-ha..."


    Herughter was almost maniacal, echoing in my chest with every heave of her body, my heart


    clenching in time with her swings.


    Zoraughed to the brink and then abruptly stopped, her eyes narrowing into slits as she red at


    Jan, "Even if I die, I''m taking him with me. You''ll live with guilt for the rest of your life, tasting the


    agony of losing a child!"

    Jan hadn''t anticipated such defiance, and he realized hismands had failed. He watched Zora,


    now at her brink of madness,pletely at a loss.


    "Zora, please, calm down!" I pleaded softly, "Don''t do something rash... just breathe!"


    "Calm down my ass! You bring these people up here and expect me to stay cool? I''ve got nothing to


    live for today anyway. Jan, you treated me like a damn circus act, you wanted a kill, I delivered, you


    wanted..." Her voice broke as tears began to stream down her face.


    Jan quickly cut her off as if afraid she might spill too much, "Shut it, Zora. Juste here. As long


    as the kid''s safe, we can talk this out. You can keep all the money you took, but if you so much as


    scratch him..."


    I never thought I''d see the day when Jan would say money didn''t matter.


    "Ha-ha-ha, and then what? You''ve all backed me into a corner. What are you gonna do, kill me? Yeah,


    that''s right! I don''t want to live!"


    Zora had that ''I''ve got nothing to lose'' look, her gaze holding a dark secret as she taunted Jan,


    "You''ve got nothing over me anymore, because they''re all dead... all gone!"


    "So, I might as well take him with me, save you the lifelong obsession," her face twisted as she turned


    to me, "Aaliyah, if I don''t die today, I''lle after those little brats. I''ll wipe out your whole damn


    Dawson lineage, it''s what you owe me! No one ever gave me the time of day... Jan, not even you.


    Did you really think I was clueless? Not knowing you were using me, all those dirty jobs you had me do,


    weren’t they just to pin the me on me?"


    Zora sobbed uncontrobly. Her cries startled Carl into silence; he looked at Zora with such an


    innocent confusion that it tugged at the heartstrings.


    Feeling the storm of emotions from Zora, he seemed to sense the danger, his tiny arms clinging


    desperately to Zora''s neck.


    Then, Zora suddenly turned to Jan and demanded, "Tell me, did you ever truly n to take me to


    Australia?"


    Jan hesitated, and I had the urge to kick him for being such an idiot.


    "Shut your mouth!" Jan lunged forward, and Zora prepared to make a move that suggested no


    turning back.


    Carl looked back at me and Jan, his small voice pleading, "Mommy... Daddy..." Co?tent of

    I yanked Jan back, yelling furiously, "You''re going to get him killed!"


    Her body immediately arched backward, out of control, as she began to fall.
