I\u2019m sure I hear her crying. I notice spots of blood around the neck of her white nightgowns when I\u2019m doing laundry. And one day I can\u2019t help but knock on the door. When it gently swings open, what I see inside changes everything&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p> That\u2019s when I make a promise. After all, I\u2019ve done this before. I can protect Mrs. Garrick while keeping my own secrets locked up safe.<\/p>\n<p>Douglas Garrick has done wrong. He is going to pay.
