At school.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana sat frozen in her chair. Her mind drifted. Her eyelid wouldn\u2019t stop twitching.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Savannah was unusually smug today. That told Adriana all she needed to know. Something had definitely gone down.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t know the specifics of Curtis and Matthew\u2019s plan, but it was clear the people behind the scenes had made a big move.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAdriana, I bought Denton a villa. We\u2019re throwing a housewarming party in a few days. You\u2019re coming,\u201d Savannah announced like she owned the place.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSure.\u201d Adriana smiled at her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Savannah shot her a mocking look. To her, Adriana was just a clueless fool. So what if she married Curtis? Once he was dead, people would line up just to watch her fall.\u00a0<\/p>\n
All the people she had rubbed the wrong way? They\u2019d been waiting for this moment. Ready to tear her apart.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Danielle probably couldn\u2019t wait.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If Curtis really got taken down, Danielle and Natasha would never pass up the chance to finish Adriana off.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s with her acting like she\u2019s queen of the damn school? And those rich idiots practically bow to her. Her dad\u2019s just the Lincolns\u2018 butler. What the hell are they so scared of?\u201d Yolanda whispered next to Adriana.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She couldn\u2019t figure it out either. What the hell did Savannah have over them? What kind of pull did she really have?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re all cut from the same rotten cloth,\u201d Adriana whispered back. \u201cIt\u2019s gotta be about leverage. Either she bought them off or she\u2019s blackmailing them. That\u2019s the only way she\u2019s keeping them in line. Look at the way she treats Denton. She\u2019s clearly looking for something she can use to control him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yolanda nodded. She pulled in a sharp breath. These snakes were bad news. Nothing good ever came from people like that.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And Denton? He was a big, dumb mutt. No way he could take them on.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She sighed and leaned her chin on her hand. She had to figure out a way to help him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAdriana!\u201d Class was just about to start when Denton picked up a call. He stood up so fast his chair scraped the floor. His face went pale. \u201cIt\u2019s\u2026 This is bad\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His voice cracked. His whole body trembled. His eyes shimmered like tears were about to fall.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The pen slipped from his hand and clattered against the floor. The sharp clink shattered the silence.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana\u2019s stomach dropped. The dread she\u2019d been carrying slammed into her chest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t just stammer! What happened?\u201d Yolanda jumped in, heart racing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton\u2019s face turned ghostly white. His chest heaved as he tried to keep it together. \u201cIt\u2019s \u2026 Curtis. Something happened to him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t wait. He spun around and ran out the door.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana took a sharp breath and swayed, barely catching herself before stepping out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yolanda jumped to her feet and hurried after her, too worried to sit still.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Savannah stayed seated, calm and collected. A smirk tugged at her lips.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Everything had gone exactly the way she wanted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis was dead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She glanced at her manicured nails and let out a quiet laugh she couldn\u2019t hold in.\u00a0<\/p>\n
From now on, the Lincolns were hers to control. Every piece of it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
No one would treat her like trash anymore. I dare them to.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was the housekeeper\u2019s daughter. So what? The Lincolns, the Lincoln Group, every damn thing would answer to her now.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The hospital.\u00a0<\/p>\n
By the time Adriana, Denton, and Yolanda arrived, the doctor had already finished.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He looked at Adriana and slowly shook his head. There was nothing more to do.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana forced in a breath and tried to stay upright.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The room spun. Before she even saw Curtis\u2019s body, her vision went black, and her knees buckled. Her body hit the floor with a thud.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAdriana!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Curtis had been in a car crash.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After signing the deal with Langford Group, he left their office and was headed for Ainsworth Group. A wreck on the main highway had blocked traffic. His driver had to detour through the outer loop.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There were more trucks out there. Curtis\u2018 car ended up behind a semi. A car from behind lost its brakes and rammed into them, crushing his car between both ends.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When police and fire crews showed up, the car had been completely destroyed. The driver made it out with some cuts and bruises. Curtis had been in the back seat. The impact crushed him. The hospital tried to revive him, but he died on the table.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now Denton was the last one left in the Lincoln family. Adriana was in no state to handle any of it. She was Curtis\u2018 wife, but she couldn\u2019t bring herself to deal with the funeral. So Denton and Kenneth stepped in and kept things moving through the grief.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Adriana finally woke up in her hospital bed, Kenneth had just stepped into the room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her eyes were red and swollen as she stared at him, searching his hands. She thought he might bring lilies. Something. Anything.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t bring a thing. Something sharp lodged itself in her chest. She couldn\u2019t breathe right.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Lincoln elders want to bring Mr. Lincoln back to Harborton \u2026 to bury him there. But since you\u2019re his wife, this is your decision,\u201d Kenneth said quietly, eyes down.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Outside the door, Denton, Savannah, and Yolanda stood together. Yolanda\u2019s eyes were puffy and red. She stilt couldn\u2019t believe it had happened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
