Last Life, They Killed Me for Keeping Their Secret. This Life, I’m Spilling It Chapter 08

“Cole, if you kill me, you’ll be playing right into their hands.”

He paused. “What do you mean?”

“The truth is, Amber was never a virgin. She’s been sleeping around for years. She got HIV, passed it to Travis and Kyle, and she schemed to marry you for your money.”

“Bullshit.”

“You can find out easily. Hire a professional hypnotist. Have them hypnotize Kyle at the hospital. He’ll tell you everything. If you’re worried I’ll run, I’ll go to the hospital right now.”

Cole thought about it. “Fine. I’m on my way.”

“One more thing,” I said. “Don’t tell Amber.”

He didn’t answer, but I knew he’d listen.

Thirty minutes later, I walked into Kyle’s hospital room.

He smirked at me. “How does it feel? Don’t know what to do now, so you came crawling back to beg?”

I smiled. “Cyberbullying? I don’t care about that. You should worry about yourself. Happy with your HIV?”

“I’ll still outlive you.”

Then he saw Cole walk in behind me. His face dropped. “Mr.

Harrington? What are you doing here?”

Cole didn’t answer. He nodded to his security guards, who grabbed Kyle’s shoulders.

Kyle panicked. “Mr. Harrington, what’s going on? Lauren gave you HIV. Why are you coming after me?”

Cole ignored him and waved at the hypnotist. “Start.”

The hypnotist swung a pocket watch in front of Kyle’s face. “You’re getting very tired…”

Kyle’s eyes closed.

The hypnotist nodded at Cole. “You can ask now.”

Cole’s voice was low. “Kyle, how did you get HIV?”

“Amber gave it to me.”

Cole’s jaw tightened. “How did Amber get HIV? What’s your real plan?”

Kyle spoke mechanically. “Amber’s a party girl. She plays around a lot. I don’t even know when she got it. When I found out I had it, I wanted to kill her. But that wasn’t gonna keep me alive. Amber said if we had enough money—like, stupid money—we could live longer. Even with HIV.”

“So you went after me.”

Kyle smiled in his trance. “If you hadn’t pushed for that pre-marital exam, none of this would’ve been necessary. The only way to get your

money is for you to die. So here’s the plan: make you so pissed at
Lauren that you kill her, then you go to prison. Simple.”
