CARMENAs I accompanied my father to the hospital a few hours later for his very last shot of treatment that he had been getting to help him recover, the thought of my mother working with Jasper did not leave my mind for a second.That would explain why Jasper was quick to call my mother and find out about the aviation company lie that I had made up. Perhaps they had always been in contact.“Do you think it’s possible that she would be working with him? I mean, in the sense that he hits me. Do you seriously believe that she knows about it and is in full support of it?” I asked my father.“I can’t say for sure, but it’s not something I would put past her. She has surprised me a lot over the years that I just don’t think this would be the most outrageous thing she has done,” he replied.I saw the sense in what he was saying, especially after what had happened with the chef and the video she had recorded, but there was something holding me back from believing that my mother could be that

CAMRMEN My father stared at me after my confession with the most neutral expressions he had ever given me so far, and it didn’t make it better. I wanted him to have a reaction, good or bad, and not leave me with the thought of whether he still thought of me the same way.“Are you sure about this?” He interrogated after minutes of staring at me in silence, his tone of voice even more zen than his face.“I haven’t had the time to think about it to myself, but I’m very sure that even if I do, my answer is going to be the same – I do love him,” I confirmed.“And do you know if he feels the same way towards you?” he asked, not judging me and slightly surprising me with it.“He told me he loves me. I would like you to know that we didn’t start it after our parents got married. He was my date to prom, and in mere weeks, Mom was married to Steve Wilmer. We have tried to separate one too many times, but it hasn’t worked out so far.” I looked down at the bed.“Your wedding… We were told that y

CARMEN“Jasper, I need you to hit the breaks on the car right now. You don’t even know where I am,” I said, walking towards the door as I waited for him to give me a response before I would go out on a goose chase.“You said you came back, right? Aren’t you at home then?” he slurred, and I closed my eyes as I heard even louder honks that made my heart rate and the hairs on my skin go up.“Just pull over on the side of the road, and I’ll come meet you wherever you are. You can’t drive while you’re drunk!” I was trying hard not to raise my voice, but he was making it hard for me.I had seen, first hand, how hard it was for Jasper to keep his control when he was drunk, and adding a car in the middle of a possibly busy road in the middle of the night was something I didn’t want to think about but was left with no choice.“You don’t know where I am as well. Let’s just meet at the house, Carmen. I’m not going to pull over.”“Jasper, hello! Hello!” I looked down at the screen of my phone to

CARMEN“I’ll call you back,” I said to Dave on the phone before hanging up and getting out of bed with a suspicious look on my face.“What do you mean, you’ve made a decision on the divorce? Was there ever a decision to be made?” I questioned, not sure if that was a part of the conversation that we’d had when he was drunk just last night.“It was not exactly your decision to make so I didn’t tell you about it, of course.” He shrugged, taking my hand and leading me back to the bed so that we could both sit on it for what he was about to say.“What is this about?” I questioned.“I told you how much I’m in love with you, Carmen. Yes, I know I’m not worth believing because I’m a total asshole to you. I have done questionable and sick things to you that nobody deserves to go through in the hands of someone they’re married to,” he started, and I could only nod.“When you told me last night that you wanted a divorce, I wasn’t in the right state of mind to think about it as I am this morning.

CARMENJasper stared at me with wild eyes as the thought of it crossed his mind, and he placed his hands over his head in complete stress and confusion.“How come we forgot to ask such an important question?” he groaned as he sat on the couch and pulled out his phone to call Detective Johnson to ask him about the security guards on duty that night and how come someone had deleted the footage.Just as he was making the call, the front door opened, and in walked Emily in all her beautiful glory. Her smile faded for a split second when she set her eyes on Jasper, but she was quick to mask it when Terri opened her arms for a hug.“How are you feeling?” Emily asked her mother, who only shook her head in response and waited in silence for a while before giving an answer.“Things are just a little complicated right now, but I am certain that we will find Mariah and bring her back,” Terri said.Jasper finally got off the phone with the detective just as Emily walked towards me and enveloped m
