“In your dreams!”
Sophie seized the moment while Sam was distracted and dashed to the door. She tried to unlock it only to find that the indoor lock had stopped working!
Outside, the housekeeper had inserted a spare key into the lock, effectively jamming it so that it couldn’t be operated from the inside.
“Help” Help Sophie pounded on the door, shouting loudly.
Meanwhile, downstairs, the music was deafening. Jessica, dressed in a fiery red dress, was performing an impromptu senior tango with Perry, completely oblivious to the commotion upstairs.
“Stop wasting your effort! You’re mine today!”
Sam advanced and grabbed Sophie, but she pushed him away fiercely, smashing a water glass on the table to the ground. She picked up a shard of glass and held it to her neck. “If you come closer, I’ll slit my throat, and then all your and your sister’s scheming will have been for nothing!”
