The Fifth Victim
Category: Thriller
The stars that night seemed closer than they had any right to be.
The sword was heavier than she expected, but she did not lower it.
She had learned long ago not to trust promises.
He stood at the edge of the cliff, looking down at the waves crashing below.
She had not expected to see him again, not after all these years.
He had been waiting for her for what felt like an eternity.
It was the kind of night when secrets refused to stay buried.
The garden had been her mother’s pride, and now it was hers.
The end.
