She told me she had found her true soulmate and she was going to leave you before the month was out. Angie told me she was trying to find a way to keep the house and for the first time in the conversation, I laughed telling her no judge in the state would give it to her and besides, I reminded her of the prenuptial agreement to split everything down the middle except the property. She looked at me and almost grinned telling me she had a way. We didn't talk again and now she's dead. What's going on?
Gail answered. All I can say is she may have gotten tangled up in something she couldn't control and it bit her on the ass. I've always liked you and Mom and I'd like to stay in your lives somehow but if it's too difficult, I replied. She jumped into my arms kissing me hard. Didn't look for that today.
Mom will lean on you even harder now. It was just me and Angie and now it's just me. And if you want my opinion, you married the wrong sister. What? You were 15 when we met.
She giggled. Should have waited. Anyway, I'm all grown up and everything now. I know you need to mourn and come to terms with what Angie did, but when I'm sure you're in your right mind, you're taking me to dinner. She laughed at the shocked look on my face.
Okay. With that out of the way, Mom doesn't know about Angie. I I the way she died makes her suspect but we need to let her keep the image of her as a good daughter intact. It would serve no purpose to tell her. Agreed.
I like your mom too much to cause her pain, I replied. The cops released the body 2 weeks later, determining she expired from a gunshot to the head from the.380 automatic found on the scene. It was burned pretty badly, but they ejected the magazine and found Brad Burns' fingerprints on the shells, despite all the rounds exploding from the heat. The week after that, I got the life insurance. I felt bad for taking it, but I realized the whole fiasco was not of my making.
If she'd stayed faithful, it wouldn't have mattered, and she'd still be alive. I never meant for her to die. I wanted her to live a long, regretful life, but it was not to be. It took almost a year before I got the check for the house. It was enough to build a really nice one back on the other side of the property.
