Renee thought of how she had felt when Jesse had first raped and kidnapped her. Those feelings of hatred stirred back up in her. She felt enraged and saddened. She felt alone and scared. She thought of everything up until this point. She felt confused. How had she gotten here? How had she come to care for Jesse and given into him? How in the hell had she come to have a life with the man that had ruined her own? She started writing, letting it all out.
“Alex, I have so much I want to say to you, but I’m sure it will come out as rambling. I don’t really know how to proce
“Marie, I’m glad you reached out to me. Reading what you wrote to me tore my heart to shreds. I felt a stabbing pain with each line. I would have never chosen to leave you willingly. I never wanted to be apart from you. You were my whole world. You still are my whole world. I love you. I have always loved you. I would never choose for you to live with someone else. I wish you would have reached out to me as soon as you were able. I would have come to get you if I had known what was happening. I know everything that has happened is my fault. I’m sorry just doesn’t cut it and I know that. I would spend the rest of my life making it up to you if you would let me.”“I have a son. God, I hate that I have missed his life and yours. I want us to be a family. I understand that you have done what you needed to do to survive. I understand that you have c
The week had flown by and before she knew it, Renee was heading to the airport. She had packed her bag that Jesse had bought for her. He already had his packed. She still wondered when he had done that as she hadn’t even seen him bring the bag in. He had gotten Nancy to watch Christian while they were gone. The only thing she couldn’t find before they left were the wedding bands. She didn’t ask Jesse if he had seen them because she was too nervous to tell him that they were missing. He hadn’t mentioned them either. She was hoping he wouldn’t notice. She would have to lie and say she forgot them and hope he didn’t get pissed off and ruin this trip.They left the car parked in long-term parking and went into the airport. Jesse got their tickets and went to the counter to check in their bags. While he was doing everything, Renee went looking at some of the kio
He was all dressed up. Renee looked him over starting with the crisp white shirt under a black vest. It was short sleeved so it showed off his tattoos on his forearms. Damn, he even had on a tie! The black dress pants hugged his hips and were somewhat loose on his legs. He'd even shined his black dress shoes. His hair was slicked back so it was away from his face and had a shine to it. He looked good.And here she was in underwear and a shirt. She felt really underdressed but he just smiled at her and held out hishand. Renee took it and he led her out to the balcony wherethere was a table with covered dishes, two wine glasses, and abottle of wine being chilled. There was a single rose in a vase in
Lelo went to stand by Jesse. A woman that was standing behind her took her bouquet. Renee had to admit that it was a beautiful ‘wedding’ the way Jesse had set it up. The tiki torches on either side of the archway provided just enough light to see by. It left the full moon reflecting on the ocean as they had a nighttime wedding. The officiant said his part and had them repeat their vows after him.Jesse took her wedding band from Lelo and slid it on her finger and said, “With this ring, I thee wed.”The woman standing behind Renee gave her Jesse’s ring and she repeated the line, “With this ring, I thee wed,” as she slid the ring on Jesse’s finger.“By the power invested in me by the state of Hawaii, I now prono
Renee pulled back from Jesse after she finished the song. She pecked his lips and took his hand, dragging him to the beach. She took off her sandals and her veil. She laid them on the ground and reached under her dress. She stayed bent over as she took her panties off long enough to slip the garter belt off. She quickly slid her panties back on so no one would see her. With her back to Jesse and the building onshore, no one should've seen her. She began to take her dress off."What are you doing?""I'm going to get in the water. Care to join me?" Renee asked as she put the thigh highs and garter belt in her pile."Right now? You don't even have a bathing suit
She had her ankles crossed and her arms out wide. She was just staring up at the night sky with a beautiful smile on her face. She looked satisfied. He wondered if she was happy. He moved next to her side and put his hands under her. He began to turn in little circles so she was spinning in the water. Her eyes turned towards him and he smiled. She smiled back. He stopped after a few minutes, letting her settle back into floating. She wrapped one arm around his waist so she was staying against his side.“Are you happy, Renee?” Jesse asked, his curiosity getting to him.Renee looked at him and said, “Yes, I’m happy.”“Are you just happy because of where you are? Or are you actually happy with everything?”
Jesse woke up and felt the bed beside him. It felt cold. He sat up and looked around the room. It had to be mid-afternoon judging by the sun. He went to the bathroom and when he went to wash his hands, he saw a note with his name on it. He opened it and smiled.“Jesse,I went out to the beach. I wanted to let you sleep in, but didn't want you to worry when you found I was gone. Come find me if you want. We can have lunch.XOXOXOXOXORenee”She'd e
“We are going somewhere specific. The guy gave me a map. Judging by the way we have been riding around, we need to go right and find this path.”Renee looked at the map and studied it so she knew where to go. Once she thought she had it figured out, she took off. They rode for another hour, just playing around on the four-wheelers, going over hills and jumping small ditches. When they finally got to a certain spot, they pulled over and had lunch. Renee finally figured out what the cooler was for. She took pictures of the island as they went along. The place was really beautiful. There was a waterfall in the middle of a lush forest.Once they were done eating, Jesse took a bag off the four-wheeler and brought it over to her. She saw it had a bathing suit in it for her and a pair of trunks for him. There were also two
5 years later A raven-haired beauty with hazel eyes runs up. He smiled as he wrapped her up in his arms. He spun in circles with her in his arms as she giggled. He sat her down onto her feet and looked around at the people in the home. It had been hard the year and a half it had taken for his trial. In the end, it was worth it. It had been hard not being able to be with Renee when he’d been in the same state. She hadn’t come to see him even though he had tried to apologize to her. She never took his calls. His mother had seen her and Christian. She was going to petition for rights to see Christian and she had told Renee that. Renee had politely told her there was no need. All she had to do was tell her first and if they didn’t have anything planned, she was more than welcome to get him. She’d taken pictures of Christian and sent them to Kevin. Some of
“Why would you do that for someone who mistreated you?” “Jesse could be an asshole but he treated me prettygood over time. I loved him and I think he deserves to be withthe only family he ever had. After this is all over, I plan to returnhome, too, so I can raise our child and my son. My child will never know their father other than a grave.” George shook his head. This woman was either crazy or she really did have Stockholm syndrome. He knew she’d been in a car accident at the beginning of the year and suffered a brain injury. Had that affected her judgment that much? He needed to know what happened so he needed to get the body released. They had only held it until the fingerprints came back anyw
“Sarge, you’re going to want to see this,” Nolan said. “What is it, Nolan?” “The fingerprints are back. We had them rushed because of the missing person’s case.” George had found files in Kevin’s car that contained emails between him and a woman named Marie. It also contained a crime report involving him and a woman named Renee Kennedy. The picture showed the same woman that was at the crime scene. He’d taken her fingerprints and that of the victim, Mark Morgan. They had detained Kevin since he was inside the Morgan’s home. It had been a month and neither Kevin nor Tabitha had talked about what had happened in that house. He’d notified Kevin’s mother of what had happened as she was listed as his emergency contact. She’d notified him that he should contact Renee Kennedy
Kevin went to kick the knife out of Jesse’s hand when Jesse opened his eyes and stabbed him in the leg. Kevin cried out at the pain burning up the muscle of his leg. He hit his knees and his hand went to the knife. He pulled it out right as Jesse grabbed his collar and began punching him in the face and the side of his head. Renee didn’t know how to stop the fight. She did the only thing she could think of. She dug her phone out and called 911. “911, what’s your emergency?” “They’re going to kill each other!” Renee cried. “Ma’am, calm down. What’s your name?” Renee ignored her. She rattled off her address as she saw Jesse grab the wrist of the hand that Kevin had the knife in. He twisted the wrist unti
Renee was feeling uneasy after her meeting with Kevin. He was definitely planning something and it scared her. She didn’t want him to get hurt but she also didn’t want Jesse to know he had found them. She was definitely wondering if he already knew. She bit her lip as her thoughts turned to the darker side of how things could go down. “Mommy!” Christian yelled. “I’m sorry, Christian. I was in my thoughts. Did you say something to me?” Renee asked as she drug herself out of the bad thoughts she was having about Jesse and Kevin. “I want to go back. I want Mr. Kevin.” “I’m sorry, Christian, but that just isn’t possible. Your daddy doesn’t know that you aren’t his son. Please, promise me, baby, that you won’t te
“Deal,” Jesse said as he kissed and hugged her. Renee sighed and walked away to find Christian. She’d take him to dinner and a movie tonight. He had been begging to go see Tom and Jerry. Since this was their night, she’d take him out for a happy meal and ice cream too. She wondered if he’d like putt-putt golf. She hadn’t played it since she was little but it might be something he’d enjoy. They could get breakfast, play a couple of games, and then go to the park for an hour or so. With her plans set in her mind, she went to find Christian. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kevin pulled out his pocket knife and sharpened it. He’dthought about this day long and hard. If he bought a gun, it would be premeditated murder. He sharpened the blade while he t
“What do you mean, ‘thank God you’re awake’? How long have I been asleep?” “Two days. It’s Tuesday. My boss wasn’t thrilled that I missed two days but I explained what happened.” “Where’s Christian?” Renee asked. “I took him to Nancy’s after we realized you weren’t waking up when the nurse came to check on you. You’ve been moaning and thrashing in your sleep every so often.” “Oh. Was I talking in my sleep at all?” “Not while I was awake. Why? Do you remember anything?” “I remember everything,” Renee whispered. “Before or afte
“Will you, um, will you come let the guard rail down? I need to go to the bathroom,” Renee said as her cheeks reddened. “Sure. No need to be embarrassed, baby.” “That wasn’t really what I wanted but I do need to go.” Jesse put the bed rail down and helped Renee up. She leaned on him to catch her bearings. She went to the bathroom and came out. He could tell by the look on her face that she was still confused about what was happening. She regained some of her memories if not all of them, but had she forgotten the ones after the accident? “Do you want to tell me what you really wanted now?” Renee’s cheeks turned red again but she held her arms out.
Jesse sat out in the waiting room with Christian as they waited for the doctors to run tests. Christian had finally settled down and stopped crying. He was sitting in Jesse's lap sucking his thumb. He had started that back up after Renee had been in the accident. Now every time he was extremely stressed, that thumb was back in his mouth. It agitated Jesse somewhat but he let it go because he knew he was trying to comfort himself against what was happening with his mom. It had been hours since Renee had been brought in and no one had updated him yet. Jesse stroked Christian’s hair absentmindedly until he saw the doctor come out. Dr. Getty walked up to him and held out his hand. Jesse took it and shook it. The doctor had a neutral look on his face. “Mr. Morgan, we meet again. I wish it was under better circumstances,” Dr. Get
