Chapter 39: Unmasked Truth
Rory
I took over six hours to construct the message I planned on sending to her. It was very convenient for me since I have her number in my phone. Living with her for months made me know the times she’d be with her phone and the times she’d be busy with something else.
I timed myself properly and I made sure to send the times at the exact time I wanted knowing she’d pick up her phone.
In the text message, I attached the whole recording of the conversation I had with her husband, then I sent proof of the money her husband sent to me. At the end of the message, I asked her to send me her account number so I could wire the money to her.
She didn’t respond even after reading the text, and that instantly made me begin to panic.
What if her husband unexpectedly arrived early and ended up reading and deleting the text before she did?
That means I was more or less doomed.
I knew coming up with different possibilities as to why she was yet to respond was only gonna make me overthink myself to death, which was why I ended up forcing myself to stop thinking about that, choosing to take a walk for the time being.
The walk did wonders to my overheated brain and I found myself wondering how it would feel to have my baby here and bring the baby up all by myself, without help or assistance from anyone. The thought of that was scary because even though I liked babies, I wasn’t sure I could handle teeny, tiny ones.
