Newlywed Jade Westmore has finally found her forever in husband Wells, a charming, successful, and recently divorced architectonly theres one caveat: behind the gates of their elysian estate, hidden from street view in the caretakers cottage
lives Wellss first wife, Sylvie.
Three years ago, the original Mrs. Westmore suffered a nervous breakdownand hasnt uttered a sound since. Not a physician, psychologist, or world-renown specialist has been able to elicit so much as a word from the silent woman
until now.
On an ordinary Tuesday while Wells was awaydespite instructions to never disturb the fragile womanJade visited her isolated predecessor bearing a peace offering: a bouquet of white lilies. Only she wasnt expecting Sylvie to have something for her as well: a slip of torn notebook paper with a single word scrawled in shaky black ink.
That word? Run
