Chương 11: 11-Getting Rid Of My Stepsister

Norman:

I received a call from Maximus, so I put all my work on hold and rushed to my car. As I glanced at the sky, I realized I would have had to return home soon anyway. The storm was already beginning to set in.

The deadliest storm.

But right now, there seemed to be an even bigger issue at hand. When Maximus calls, it means all hell has broken loose.

In a very dramatic way.

After parking the car in the driveway, I let the guard take it to the garage while I sprinted into the mansion. Maximus' words from the call still echoed in my head:

"By the time you come home today, I will be gone."

With that playing in my mind, I rushed past the living room and slowed down when I noticed my stepsister and her mother having a conversation. For a brief moment, I saw Helanie lift her head, and our eyes met before I disappeared from her sight.
