Chapter 35
Chapter 35 — Chapter 35 begins with shock, not from violence, but from the unexpected appearance of someone long presumed dead. After barely escaping Eddie's violent outburst—where a silver pineapple became a weapon—the protagonist finds herself face-to-face with Bea Rochester. Not only is Bea very much alive, she seems curiously unfazed by the revelation that her husband tried to kill someone else. Calmly requesting wine as if hosting a routine dinner party, Bea leads them into the kitchen. Her…-

Chapter 34
Chapter 34 begins with a decision that can’t quite be explained. The narrator finds himself driving toward the lake, unsure if it’s curiosity, jealousy, or something deeper that pulls him there. Tripp had casually mentioned Bea’s invitation earlier, and while they weren’t close, it planted a seed. The idea that Bea would ask Tripp to join a supposedly women-only weekend felt wrong. Something in that gesture stirred a quiet discomfort, a nagging instinct that wouldn’t settle. Maybe it was the look…-

At the center is Bea—confident, driven, and remarkably self-assured in a world where appearances reign. Jane, by comparison, plays the part of someone who's simply fallen into things, though the narrator senses there’s more calculation beneath her modest surface.

Chapter 32
Chapter 32 begins with a jolt of pain and regret. My skull throbbed like it had been split open from the inside, and the nausea rising in my stomach felt thick and threatening. I turned to the side, waiting to throw up, but nothing came. Instead, I choked and spat onto the floor, staring at the blood, wondering how I had failed to see this unraveling. Bea had always been the sharpest person in any room. Of course, she wouldn’t stay trapped forever. And I should’ve realized it—should’ve planned for…-
