She’s Back, and Hell’s Coming with Her novel Chapter 313

Sutton Manor.

Sommer was on the phone with her brother, Yosef Lynn.

“Sommer, my guys never found Hester.”

Her heart dropped, a wave of dread washing over her.

Hester had left the Sutton family estate just last night.

She hadn’t taken anything with her—just her cell phone.

It was a remote area, not somewhere you could easily hail a cab, especially at night.

Sommer figured Hester would have walked a ways along the road before she could even hope to catch a ride.

That’s why she’d frantically called her brother, begging him to intercept Hester somewhere along the way.

But now, after an entire night, Yosef still hadn’t found her.

Sommer’s mind raced with awful possibilities. A young woman out alone at night—what if something terrible had happened?

What would she do if Hester was in danger?

Anxious and frustrated, Sommer’s patience with Yosef snapped.

“I told you last night to go up the hill and get her right away. You failed to pick her up, and now you’re only telling me this? Did you even take this seriously?”

On the other end, Yosef could hear the anger in Sommer’s voice, and it only made him more irritable.

When she’d called last night, he’d been at the poker table, riding a lucky streak. Her request had barely registered. Honestly, what could really happen to an adult? She could always call for a car herself. So he hadn’t bothered.

But in the middle of the night, worried Sommer might ask, he’d tried to call Hester to check where she was—no answer. The call never went through, and even this morning, her phone was still off. That’s when he finally decided to let Sommer know.

“Look, her phone’s off. I have no idea where she is. Maybe she went to a friend’s place. You can’t blame me for everything. I tried to pick her up, but she wasn’t there.”

Sommer didn’t even want to argue. All she could think of was finding Hester. They’d only just reunited as mother and daughter, and she hadn’t even had time to show her any real care—how could this be happening?

“Send your people to look for her now. I’m really worried—”

“Alright, alright, I’ll get someone on it right away. Don’t worry so much. She’s not a child; maybe she really did just go to a friend’s house.”
