Chapter 12
“Hello, Daniela!” the intruder said, surprising Daniela.
“James!”
“What’s wrong, Daniela? Cat got your tongue?” James taunted her.
“I-I-I don’t understand?”
“You’re probably asking if it’s really me…or my ghost?”
“Uh, yeah. I thought I killed you?”
“Let me give you a tip…always check to make sure there’s no pulse before you assume someone’s dead.” James warned Daniela.
“But, you were just lying there?”
“Hello, you couldn’t check to see if I was still breathing!” James said angrily.
“So you’re alive? What do you want?”
“I want you to come back home and stop your shenanigans with this guy!”
“And just how did you find me?”
While Daniela was trying to make a break from James, Tyler was beside himself as he listened to the two of them bicker.
“It wasn’t that hard.” James told her. “All I had to do was look in your drawer.”
Daniela knew she put her journal in there…the one with her plan to steal Cassidy’s husband from her.
“So you know…big deal!” Dani said, trying not to cave to James’ threats.
“Well, what would Tyler here think of your plan?” James asked. “Think he’d be happy with you?”
“So, you were trying to gaslight my wife?” Tyler asked angrily. “Cassidy was right all along and I didn’t listen to her?”
Tyler sat down thinking about how he just left Cassidy at the mental institution. He believed Daniela over his own wife?
“Look, I don’t know what kind of game you thought you could play on me on my wife, but I want you out now!” Tyler told Daniela.
Tyler left Daniela alone with James as he went to get his keys to see if he could rectify the situation with Cassidy.
James and Daniela went back home where life went back the same way they had been living…but this time, Daniela was plotting to rid the world of James once and for all.
