Chapter 64: A Comforting Embrace
When Cammy thought that it was the worst thing that could happen that day, oh boy she was wrong. The worst was yet to come.
"Cammy, why aren’t you saying anything? Don’t just stand there." The man’s frustration spilled over as he turned his attention back to Ric, only to suddenly grab Cammy’s arm. The movement was so quick that Ric didn’t even have time to react.
"We’re going home. You’ve got a lot of explaining to do!" he snapped, his grip tightening like a vice around her arm.
Before Cammy could process the situation, a calm yet commanding voice cut through the chaos.
"What’s going on here?"
Cammy’s breath hitched, and her eyes widened in disbelief. That voice—it was unmistakable. Turning toward the source, she saw her: the woman whose face was plastered all over TV screens and internet headlines. The woman she never imagined she’d meet in person this soon.
"Let me go, Duncan, we are done!" Cammy finally mustered the courage to speak, the same courage that had driven her to flee their vacation house that fateful night.
"We are not done!" Duncan shot back. "Let’s go home and talk about this." He reached for her arm, but Annie stepped in, blocking him.
"Home? She doesn’t have a home!" Annie sneered. "Can’t you see, babe? She tricked you into thinking she was dead! She’s nothing but a liar."
