They had drugged her.
Then they planned to have six men assault her, humiliate her, and record the entire thing on video.
It was beyond vile.
Megan was shaking with rage. She never could have imagined that the woman she had once considered her closest friend would be part of something so horrific.
When Kimberly realized that the charges couldn’t be dropped and that Megan had no intention of letting it go, she suddenly stopped begging.
She lifted her head abruptly. The pitiful woman who had just been pleading for mercy had completely vanished. Now her eyes were filled with bitterness and hate.
“So the charges can’t be dropped?” she said with a sneer. Her voice had turned low and cold, and the shift in her demeanor was jarring.
“Megan Stone, stop pretending,” she snapped. “Do you really think you were ever a good friend to me? All these years, you gave me your leftovers. Food you didn’t finish. Clothes you didn’t want. Old bags and makeup. What did you think I was? A trash can? Or maybe just some pet you tossed scraps to?”
Megan stood frozen. Her brows pulled together in disbelief as she stared at Kimberly.
“How could you see it like that?” Megan said quietly. “I knew you didn’t grow up with much, so I tried to look out for you. I used to buy extra snacks just to share them with you. Those clothes weren’t leftovers. I bought them in your size and pretended they didn’t fit me so you wouldn’t feel awkward. The bags and makeup were brand new. I only said I didn’t want them so you wouldn’t feel like you had to return the favor.”
Her voice trembled, and tears welled up in her eyes. “I always thought of you as a real friend. I never imagined everything I did for you would be twisted into something so cruel.”
Kimberly let out a cold laugh. “Save it, Megan. You’re the rich girl, and I was always the poor one. We were never equals. You thought you were being generous, but do you have any idea what people used to say about me in school?
“They said I was your maid. Your little lapdog. Just some pathetic sidekick to make you look even better. And don’t tell me you never heard it. You knew exactly what they were saying. You just pretended not to. You loved it, didn’t you? Having someone like me next to you made you look even more perfect. You’re not some angel. You’re a fake, manipulative little princess who plays nice to feed her own ego.”
Megan stumbled back a few steps, her face pale and blank. Her chest ached, as if something inside her had cracked wide open. A wave of dizziness swept over her, and she nearly lost her balance
Charlotte caught her just in time. “Miss Stone, are you alright?”
Megan stared blankly ahead and slowly shook her head. “I’m fine,
When they left the station, Megan’s eyes were empty and lifeless. Her face showed no emotion, as if she had become a puppet with its strings cut.
Charlotte gently helped her into the backseat of the car, then turned to Petra in the driver’s seat and said, “Petra, please take Miss Stone home.”
Charlotte sat beside Megan in the back.
The ride was completely silent.
