Her Ex-husband's Deception More Secrets
Skylar sat on the wooden swing in the backyard, fingers nervously tapping the wood, as she tried to muster the courage to make the call she had been brooding over. Jason was still missing and the fear and anxiety had not simmered even for a bit. She had also been in regular contact with Emily and they had managed to form some bond over the weeks. This brought her to her current line of thoughts. While Skylar was surrounded with family to support her, Emily was all alone. Her family had cut off contact with her for having a child out of wedlock.

Skylar was starting to think that she could relax and enjoy the day without having to worry to much about Jason suddenly making an appearance. That was until the mailman brought the mail some hours to noon. Amidst the envelopes, there was an unmarked envelope addressed to Skylar. With shaky legs, she made her way to the living room. Her fingers trembled as she opened the unmarked envelope. The contents spilled out into her hands: photos of Emily and Liam arriving at her house the previous day. The edges of the photos seemed to burn her skin, and her heart sank as she realized just what she was looking at, and who it was from.Her breath caught in her throat as she unfolded the letter that accompanied the photos.

Cautiously, she made her way toward the kitchen, her heart still hammering in her chest.Peering into the kitchen, she was met with a sight that made her freeze. Catherine was at the stove, making breakfast, while James was entertaining Liam.

Emily, with her quiet strength, found solace in the stability that James and Catherine provided. She had expressed a desire to move out, her voice tinged with the hope that Jason had finally disappeared for good. But James and Catherine had gently persuaded her to stay. “We’d love to have you here,” Catherine had said, her eyes soft with concern. “You and Liam are family, and we want to help.”James had nodded in agreement. “It’s important for Liam to be around people who love him.
