The original Yvonne’s body was truly fragile. Back in her room, Yvonne collapsed onto the bed and fell into a deep, hazy sleep.
In a state between dreaming and waking, she heard the faint click of her door being pushed open.
As a former police officer and undercover agent, Yvonne’s senses were razor-sharp. She was instantly wide awake.
She lay perfectly still, listening as the footsteps drew closer.
“Miss… Ms. Jones?” a voice whispered from beside the bed.
Yvonne didn’t move or speak. She recognized the voice. It belonged to Gina, one of the maids.
Seeing no response, Gina assumed Yvonne was asleep. She turned and walked to the vanity, where she opened the medicine boxes sitting on the counter.
Yvonne remained motionless. Only after Gina had left the room did she open her eyes, a cold smile playing on her lips.
That evening, Gina knocked on her door again. This time, there were no stealthy movements, just a call to come down for dinner.
“Ms. Jones, your parents are home. They asked me to call you down for dinner.”
“I’m not feeling well. I’m not eating,” Yvonne replied. “Just bring me some soup up to my room.”
Yvonne’s body ached, and she had no appetite.
Gina stood at the door, clearly taken aback. Ever since returning to the Spencer family, the original Yvonne had been timid and eager to please, trying to win everyone over. She never missed a family dinner and would never have dared to order a servant around.
Though surprised, Gina nodded. “Of course, Miss.”
