" Uncle , you've lived next door for three years but never visited . " " I know you avoid her because of her past feelings for you . " " She's out today . Come in for some tea . " I watched Gary in despair. I hadn't left this country estate since giving birth to my baby three years ago . During every beating , I'd prayed countless nights for Gary to appear suddenly - to shield me , save me . Yet though so near , he never heard a single prayer .

Ever since , strawberry cake made me break out in hives - one bite would steal my breath . Victor didn't believe me . Today , before killing me , he'd forced that cake down my throat . Gary lowered his eyes to sip tea , expression unreadable , suspecting nothing . He too seemed to have forgotten my allergy . " Uncle , wait here . I'll fetch her pillow upstairs . " " We got a bit rough without mercy . Jessica can't sleep comfortably - demanded I fetch her rabbit pillow to support her back . " Victor's flippant words hung in the air as he turned toward the staircase . Gary set his teacup down coldly . I thought he was impatient to leave . Instead , he followed Victor upstairs in silence . Victor emerged from the bedroom clutching the rabbit pillow , closing the door to find Gary waiting . Victor's smile froze momentarily before snapping back into place . " Uncle? Why'd you come up ? " Gary's voice remained flat , betraying nothing . " Took you long enough .

' He reached into his bag and pulled out her water bottle . Inside swirled cloudy liquid with dissolved pill powder . He pinched his daughter's chin , pressing the bottle opening close . " No ! Victor ! How could you ! " She is your daughter too ! I recklessly threw myself forward .
