Chapter 142
Ava pointed to the altar, and it began to shake. The gold cup fell over, and Celeste’s blood dripped onto the floor and stained it.
“No!” Mrs. Windsor cried. “I can’t leave until you help my daughter.” She turned to Celeste. “Please, is there anything you can do that will protect her?”
The witch was silent for a moment, then she pulled out a string of white beads from around her neck and took it off of her.
“These are necklaces that have been blessed by thirteen witches–our most powerful and sacred number. They might help protect your daughter,” Celeste said in a grave tone. “But there is little I can do if your daughter has secrets that she is trying to bury. Some day, those secrets will come up from the grave to haunt her until the day she dies.”
Mrs. Windsor shuddered in fear, but she accepted the necklaces.

Ava nodded, going along with the act, and picked up a small, clear vial that had purple liquid inside. “This vial has been blessed by the same thirteen witches. But it has already been reserved by a more devout believer, Mrs. Allen. She has agreed to pay ten million dollars for it.”
Madeline took out her purse, and her eyes sparked with determination. “I will give you twenty million dollars for it. I will pay anything to protect my Chole.”
Celeste pretended to ponder her offer. “Hmm, it is true that Mrs. Allen has already reserved that vial of protection potion, but since your daughter’s life is at stake, I’m sure that she’ll understand. You can

write me a check for twenty–five million dollars for the necklaces and the potion.”
Once the purchase was made, Celeste warned Madeline that the necklace must be worn at all times and she must keep the potion with her 24/7 or else Chole’s life will be in danger in less than three days time.
These words made Mrs. Windsor’s face grow whiter than I’d ever seen it. “Could my life be in danger, too? Is there anything else I can buy that will help keep me safe?”
Ava began to shake her head no, but Celeste stood in front of her and blocked her from sight. “There is,” the witch said. “We have many more protection jewelry and potions that are available to purchase…for the right price.”
Twenty minutes later, Mrs. Windsor was loaded up with necklaces, bracelets, rings, and vials of liquid. And Celeste was a whole lot richer.
“I’ll see you again next week,” Celeste promised in a cryptic voice. “Then you can purchase more protection items because these will lose their magic by then.”
Mrs. Windsor nodded, collected her purchases, and left the room.

“You were great with that vial trick” Celeste said after she was done taking out her contacts. “I think that this is the beginning of a beautiful partnership.”
Ava held out her hand for the other woman to shake. “I agree. This will be a way for me to get justice for my friend.”
My stomach jolted when I realized she was talking about me.
“And you will rake in even more money for me,” Celeste said and shook Ava’s hand.
I stood in shock as I witnessed my friend agreeing to help scam people out of their money to help me. I wasn’t sure how I felt about that.
Alexander took me by the hand and pulled me back into the waiting room. “I don’t want Celeste to know that we had witnessed her scam,”
he whispered.
Thankfully, when the witch came to collect us, Alexander and I were sitting next to Rose and Richard like we had never left our seats.
“I’m ready for you,” Celeste said in that cryptic tone of hers.
