I Won't Stop You This Time

Synopsis

When my best friend Victoria discovered her student was the secret heir to a billionaire empire, she saw her golden ticket. She wanted him, envisioned a twisted game of grooming—a forbidden "younger man" play. I warned her, "The rich don't play fair, Victoria. These waters are too deep for you. Don't do it." Victoria listened. She stayed in her lane and tutored the boy until he secured a seat at the country's most elite law school. Because of her, he was finally reclaimed by his powerful family. At his homecoming gala, his mother handed Victoria a million-dollar check as a "thank you" for her service. But Victoria didn't feel rewarded; she felt robbed. she became convinced my advice was a calculated lie—a scheme to make her miss her only chance to marry into the 1%. In a frenzied rage, she stabbed me ninety-nine times. But killing me wasn't enough. She packed my mangled, shattered remains into a box and mailed them to my grieving parents. My aging adoptive mother fought for justice, but the student—the very boy Victoria had helped—bought her a clean slate. He secured a fake psychiatric report, letting my murderer walk scot-free. My soul drifted away in a fog of agony and hate. Then, I opened my eyes. I'm back to the night it all began. The night she first decided to hunt her student.
