Chapter 130: CASSIE

My stomach is in knots. She's home! What would this mean for my family? It was only by chance that I'd heard my dad's phone and snuck into the room to read the screen. Instinct I guess. Ever since I'd discovered the affair I've been very suspicious of my dad, always keeping a close watch. I've been reading his texts and going through his address book for weeks now without him knowing.

Each time I did I got a cramp in my tummy, not knowing what I was going to find. I lived in fear of the day when my whole world came tumbling down. My poor mom. What was I going to do? I feel so scared and alone. There's no one to talk to about this. If I say anything the whole sordid mess would come out and then what?

They were finally taking the time needed to heal after losing the baby.
