Corrine.
Two piles of bills, those that had to be paid now, those that she could put off for another month. Corrine rubbed at the headache behind her eyes. Her wages just couldn't cover everything. Without Vic's money…
No, she didn't want his dirty money. Stolen money, drugs money, blood money. Corrine knew Vic liked to do things his own way, but she'd never thought he could be as bad as those he was supposed to lock away.
She shuddered as she thought she'd shared a bed with this man. He had fathered her children. Held them with blood on his hands.
She remembered Terry. He'd come to their house for a barbecue just before…before Vic murdered him. Vic had drunk beer with him, laughed with him, while he'd been planning to kill him in cold blood.
He would've killed another officer too if Lem hadn't turned him in. The case had been all over the news. Cassidy had been bullied at school. She'd had to put up with the looks and whispers at work, from the neighbours.
Now she was barely surviving. Trying to keep afloat, keep Matthew at Glenridge, knowing she'd eventually fail, eventually drown.
She hated Vic.
