Sadie’s eyes shot daggers at him.
“I’ll not help you poison him!”
“Relax. This isn’t toxic. It doesn’t harm him. It’s just a mix to mess with his memory, to deepen his forgetfulness,” Zayden said.
Sadie’s eyes moved to the bottle he held. She stayed on guard.
“If given a chance, would you really do nothing more than this?”
Zayden raised his hands, trying to soothe the situation.
“Believe me. It’s a win-win.”
“Why’s it good for me?” Sadie’s voice dripped with skepticism.

“From what I’ve heard, Holden’s been seeing a hypnotist. Maybe he’s digging up old memories. If he remembers everything, how do you think he’ll react to you, the pretender?”
A wave of anxiety washed over Sadie. She remembered Holden’s visits to the hospital but didn’t know why he had gone there.
She looked at the pictures of Holden and Ariana. Slowly, she let go of the car door handle.
Peering at the little bottle in Zayden’s grasp, she asked, “You’re sure this won’t put him in danger?”
“I’m sure,” Zayden responded, giving her a calming smile. Inside, he was already celebrating. Taking this long-term would make Holden stupid. Then, the Fredrick family’s wealth? All would be his for the
taking.
Sadie’s grip tightened on the bottle. Her mind was a whirlwind of thoughts.
She couldn’t fully trust Zayden. What if Holden ended up worse off?
And what about her own position and riches? Deep down, she realized she didn’t want any harm coming to Holden.
Her eyes darted to the picture of Holden and Ariana. A pang of jealousy surged within her.
But what if Zayden was being honest? If Holden was reconnecting with Ariana and trying to remember the past, she might be in a world of hurt once he pieced it all together.
After a long pause, Sadie held onto her bag tighter. She gave a hesitant nod, taking the bottle.
She stepped out of the car, ready to leave. But as she walked out of the alleyway, Shawn, with Adele by his side, was right there waiting for her.
