"That is the only way I will ask Edgar to release your mother," Alessandra said.

Kate opened her mouth to give an answer, but words would not come out. If she confessed to the things she did, then she would be ruined alongside her mother. She could never return to this town. Not that she ever could since her parents and late husband had completely destroyed her life here. She would have to move far away so that no one would recognise her.

"I will go now and tell the court. When I return, my mother must be set free," said Kate.
