"| wouldn't drop the charges, not in a million years. I'm not ssaint. After what
you did to me, you really think I'd just let it go? Keep dreaming."
She'd been drugged.
Six men had attacked her-violated her-and they'd even recorded it.
It was sick. Unforgivable.
Carolyn shook with anger, her whole body trembling. She'd never thought the woman she called her best friend
would actually help hurt her like this.
When Carolyn made it clear she wasn't backing down, Cindy-still on her knees- suddenly stopped. She snapped

Cindy laughed coldly. "Oh, give it a rest, Carolyn. You're the rich girl, and I'm the poor one who should be grateful
for your scraps, right? You think you're so generous-but do you have any idea what people used to say about me
at school?"
"They calledyour maid. Your lapdog. Your ugly sidekick, just there to make you look better. Don't pretend you
never heard them. You knew you liked it, didn't you? Having mes the ugly duckling next to you, made you look
even more perfect. Carolyn, you're nothing but a fake, two-faced bitch."
Carolyn stumbled back, eyes empty, her heart heavy and aching.
A wave of dizziness hit her. She nearly lost her balance.
Allison caught her. “Ms. Witt, are you okay?"
Carolyn shook her head, looking lost. "I'm fine."
When they left the police station, Carolyn's eyes were blank, her face expressionless—like a puppet with its
