“The real question you should be asking is why your hard earned car was sacrificed to pay for this woman’s entire lifestyle,” Tasha replied firmly. Just then, my phone buzzed with a text from Garrett that told me not to ask any questions and to just trust him.

It was a receipt for a gold pendant that had been picked up only two days ago by Monica Sellers herself. I had to sit down to keep from collapsing, but I refused to call him or start a fight until I had every single piece of the puzzle in my hand.
I decided to send a quick text to Mrs. Gable to ask which hospital she was staying at so that I could bring her some flowers and support. She replied almost instantly, telling me that she was perfectly fine and had only gone in for a routine checkup the previous week.
