Chapter 18: Locked Family

The air in the chamber grew heavy with tension as Jenny's eyes bore into Gordon, her voice trembling with both fear and determination. "Gordon, I demand to know where our little sister is. Stop evading the question."

Gordon's lips curled into a wicked smile, his gaze locked on Jenny's as he reveled in the flickering flame of her desperation. His silence hung in the air, a chilling presence that intensified the atmosphere around them.

As Jenny's patience waned, she felt a creeping unease settle deep within her core. The once-familiar contours of her brother's face seemed twisted, his eyes holding a glimmer of something menacing, something almost evil.

"Tell me!" Jenny's voice rang out, slicing through the silence. "Where is she? What have you done with our sister?"

Gordon's smile widened, revealing a flash of gleaming teeth. He leaned closer, his voice dripping with a malevolence that sent shivers down Jenny's spine. "Oh, dear sister, you ask too many questions. Some answers are better left unknown."

The atmosphere in the chamber grew more suffocating, as if the very walls conspired to keep the secrets hidden within. Jenny's heart raced, her breath coming in shallow gasps as she fought to steady herself.

But before the tension could escalate further, Edon's voice broke through the mounting suspense. "Jenny, are you searching for Lola, the Warden's secretary?"

If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

Jenny's eyes widened in disbelief, her gaze shifting towards Edon. "Lola? But... that can't be. Lola is locked up, imprisoned. How could she be the Warden's secretary?"

Gordon's laughter reverberated through the chamber, a mocking echo that chilled Jenny to the bone. Her mind reeled with the revelation, struggling to reconcile the image of Lola, a fellow prisoner, working alongside the Warden.

"Why are you laughing?" Jenny demanded, her voice quivering with a mix of anger and confusion.

Gordon's voice cut through the tension like a serrated blade. "Oh, Jenny, dear sweet sister. Lola told me everything. She knew you would come searching for her. And she wants me to do something... special for her."

The room fell into an unnerving stillness, punctuated only by the sound of Jenny's rapid heartbeat. Suspense hung in the air, each moment stretched taut with the weight of impending doom.

Jenny's voice trembled, her eyes locked with Gordon's. "What... What did she ask you to do?"

A sinister smile played across Gordon's lips as he revealed the truth, his voice dripping with malevolence. "Lola wants me to kill you, dear sister. She desires your demise, and I am more than willing to oblige."

Jenny's breath caught in her throat, her mind racing to comprehend the depths of betrayal that surrounded her. The once-unbreakable bond with her brother shattered into a million shards of darkness.

In the haunting silence that followed, the chamber seemed to close in, shadows dancing along the walls, whispering secrets that Jenny could not decipher. Betrayal and peril loomed, and Jenny realized she stood at the precipice of a deadly game where trust had become the ultimate casualty.
