The Heartbreak Prescription (Stanley and Wendy) novel Chapter 1080

Zada was shaking with anger, her whole body trembling as she clutched her phone. “I’m taking this video straight to the police. You’re going to jail for murder!”

She turned to leave.

Sierra panicked. Too many things had gone wrong tonight, and now, Zada had the evidence that could destroy her. If that video reached the police, it was all over.

No! That couldn’t happen. Absolutely not!

Sierra lunged forward and grabbed Zada’s arm. Her voice cracked. “Stop! Please don’t go to the police. I don’t wanna go to jail!”

Zada let out a bitter laugh. “You didn’t think about that when you poisoned Halsey, did you? Oh, that’s right- you wanted me to take the fall. You thought you’d get away clean and come out on top.”

“Please!” Sierra begged. “You can’t turn me in. I won’t let you! Give me the phone, now! Hand it over! I need to delete that video!”

She reached for it, but Zada held on tight, keeping it out of reach. “Let go of me! You’re desperate, and it’s showing. What won’t you do to save yourself at this point?”

But Sierra wasn’t listening. Her mind was locked on that phone. It was the only thing standing between her and

ruin.

She shoved Zada hard, making her stumble backward before hitting the ground.

Sierra snatched the phone, raised her arm, and flung it straight into the river.

“My phone!” Zada shouted, furious. “You’ve completely lost it!”

Sierra watched as the phone disappeared beneath the dark water, sinking out of sight. A rush of relief washed

over her.

Finally, the evidence was gone. She wouldn’t be going to prison, after all.

She turned toward Zada with a chilling smile.

“Fine. You want the truth? Yeah, it was me. I poisoned Halsey. I hated her. There’s no room in this world for both of us–either she goes, or I do. Why should she get to live happily while I rot in the shadows, jealous and miserable? I wanted everything she had.”

Her smile widened, almost proud.

“And you–you were just a pawn. You really thought I was your friend? Don’t kid yourself. Those guys who harassed you that night? I paid them. I planned the whole thing so I could swoop in, pretend to save you, and make you trust me.

“I used you to get close to Halsey, then used you to poison her. You were perfect–gullible, loyal, and easy to manipulate. Don’t blame me for using you. Blame yourself for being stupid enough to fall for it!”

1/3

Zada sat frozen on the ground, her fingernails digging into her palms so hard that she drew blood, but she didn’t even feel it. She had finally seen Sierra for the heartless woman that she was.

Zada spat, “You’re disgusting. You’re not even human anymore.”

Sierra just laughed. “Say whatever you want! Halsey’s dead, and you’re gonna take the blame. Everything is going exactly the way I planned. I win. I’m the last one standing!”

She threw her head back and laughed hysterically.
