Chapter
Part VI: Bea
Part VI: Bea begins with a familiar sensation—the presence of Eddie beside me again, his thigh pressed close and the scent of mint on his breath. It should have made me recoil, thinking of what he’s done, but instead, it made the next move easier. Knowing he came here expecting intimacy gave me the power I needed. I’d planned for this. Brushed my hair until it shined, pinched color into my cheeks, rehearsed how I’d lean in. My survival now depended on reminding him of the version of me he first…-

Chapter 24
Chapter 24 begins with an innocent question—“Are you okay?”—but what follows reveals how far from okay things really are. The days have become heavy with heat, but my morning jogs bring a short-lived clarity, the kind that comes from movement and quiet. I like the early hours, before the world fully wakes, before the pretense sets in. The air is still, the sun soft, and for a few moments, I feel like myself again—whoever that’s becoming. My runs sometimes cross paths with Emily and Campbell.…-

Chapter 25
Chapter 25 opens with the kind of small, suburban ritual I never imagined myself participating in: a morning committee meeting. As I walk into Roasted, the local coffee shop where Thornfield’s women hold court, I feel oddly composed. The pencil skirt and pink blouse are a far cry from the dog-walking uniform I used to wear in this very neighborhood. I settle in next to Campbell and Emily, both dressed in matching shades of athleisure that scream effortless wealth. Yet, for the first time, I don’t feel…-

Chapter 26
Chapter 26 begins with me walking into a place I once avoided at all costs—the church where John Rivers works. It’s not one of the grand Southern churches that stretch across whole blocks; this one looks more like a forgotten government building. Its brick walls are dull, the only indication of holiness being the stained-glass window where Jesus stands among lambs. I’ve put on a carefully chosen outfit—blue pleated skirt, crisp white blouse, matching ballet flats—something that looks polished…-

Chapter 27
Chapter 27 begins with an everyday question that carries more weight than it seems: which dress to wear. I hold up three options—an understated cream dress, a sleek black one, and a standout plum piece from Bea’s Southern Manors collection. That last dress means something. It represents Bea’s legacy, the brand, the woman I’m still trying to understand. But when Eddie glances at my choices and picks the cream one without hesitation, I nod and comply, even though a small part of me sinks. It’s…-

Chapter 28
Chapter 28 begins with a question I barely realize I’m asking, my words looser than they should be after three glasses of sauvignon blanc. As the car winds down from the country club, everything feels quiet—too quiet—but Eddie’s sigh fills the stillness. I ask if he’s worried, and while his answer isn’t entirely clear, the tension in his voice speaks volumes. His hand finds my knee briefly before returning to the wheel, his face shadowed in the dim dashboard light. There’s a tiredness around…-

Chapter 8: Bea
Chapter 8: Bea begins in a setting she’s carefully curated—the launch party for Southern Manors at the historic Tutweiler Hotel in Birmingham. The venue’s old-world charm aligns perfectly with the brand she’s so painstakingly crafted: a blend of Southern grace and timeless elegance. The guests sip bourbon cocktails, and the air hums with praise, yet Bea remains distanced in her thoughts. This is her success, the culmination of years of grit disguised as effortless charm. But even amid admiration,…-

Chapter 29
Chapter 29 begins with a decision so reckless it surprises even me. Running through the neighborhood in the early morning, I tell myself it’s just another jog, nothing suspicious. But my pulse races for more reasons than cardio. I’m on my way to Tripp Ingraham’s house—a man recently charged with murder. The logic is flimsy at best, but his late-night texts haven’t left my mind. There’s a part of me, deeper than instinct, that whispers he’s telling the truth. Tripp has plenty of flaws—he…-

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…-

Chapter 33
Chapter 33 opens with the narrator analyzing the personality contrasts within their social orbit. 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. As for themselves, they admit to being neither bold like Bea nor passive like Jane, but rather someone who observes, rarely steering the…-
