Chapter 39
It’s time to put the plan in action. I can’t hang about much longer, the clock is ticking. I have to be careful though that no one suspects me. And that it looks like an accident. I’ve got no intention of going to prison so I need to plan it carefully. Cover all possibilities.
Judith is a lot weaker now, I’ve made sure of that.
And as for Lizzie, the anxiety is eating her up.
She’s jumping at her own shadow, paranoia is taking over.
I would have loved to have seen her face when she found that jar of peanut butter in the cupboard.
I bet that sent her over the edge. I can imagine her, leaning against the side, her chest tightening, taking deep breaths to try and control her panic attack.
Apparently she’s been eaten up with guilt for years but I have no sympathy for her. She got to have her mum while she was growing up. And look at her now, living in a comfortable house, loving husband and family. She’s got it all. Well, not for much longer.
I look at the signature again. It’s good, but then it should be the time I took practising it. No one would ever guess it was a forgery.
I smile and I put it in the envelope. Soon Lizzie will lose everything. And I will gain it all.
