Chapter 12

Jerry couldn't believe that Sarah was gay. Something didn't add up. Jerry remembered the rude woman who called Sarah a lesbian and Sarah nearly let the woman have it. So Jerry knew that Sarah was hiding something big from him and that Cathie was holding something over her to let him believe she was gay. But what could be so bad that Sarah would want Jerry to think she was gay?

Jerry went online to do a search for Sarah's past. After ten years of marriage, Jerry suddenly realized, he didn't know much of Sarah's past and she was always vague whenever he brought it up and clammed up almost instantly. When he typed in Sarah's maiden name, he hit pay dirt. He saw an article where Sarah was arrested for prostitution and drugs at just age 13. This made Jerry dig even more for Sarah's past, as he wondered what would lead his wife into the world of prostitution and drugs. 

And then he found it. The article about her father's trial describing in detail how he forced Sarah's brother into having sex with Sarah when she was just 7-years-old, and having sex with her himself. Then he saw in the article that Sarah ended up pregnant at 12 years of age and didn't know if her father or brother was the father. The article also said that Sarah's father went to prison for 20 years, but was paroled after just 5 years for good behavior. Then it revealed that Sarah's brother never went to trial as he killed himself in jail before he could go to trial, suffering from depression and severe mental cruelty at the hands of his and Sarah's father.

Then, the article went on to describe how Sarah had given the baby up for adoption before even knowing the sex of the baby or knowing who the father was. 

 So now that Jerry knew the truth about his wife's past, he had to figure out a way to turn the table's on Cathie and bring Sarah home. Cathie would be sorry for everything she was doing to his wife. Jerry would make sure Cathie went back to prison where she belonged. 

Chapter 13

Cathie didn’t know that Jerry was on to her schemes when she drove into his driveway to leave a surprise for him. She was hoping he would forget all about Sarah and come back to her, she got a shock when she used the key to get into Jerry and Sarah’s home.

Jerry was sitting in a chair in the living room when Cathie let herself in with the key under Jerry’s door step.

“Hello, Cathie!” Jerry greeted his ex-wife.

“Jerry?” Cathie said, startled that he’d even be home. She had calculated Jerry’s lifestyle and was sure he’d be gone so she could enter without being seen.

“Surprised to see me?” Jerry said.

“No.” she lied.

“What did you want, Cathie?”

“Nothing.” Cathie said, trying to get out fast before Jerry could find out what she was up to.

“You break into mine and my wife’s home…for nothing?” Jerry said, not buying her bull. 

“Sarah isn’t good enough for you, Jerry.”

“Let me be the judge of that!” Jerry said ired.

“You know what we had? Don’t you?”

“Lies? Manipulations? You call that love?”

“Jerry, you know I loved you. I had your son.”

“A son that I found out wasn’t mine because you slept with my brother!”

“It wasn’t supposed to be like that?” Cathie pleaded.

“Stop with the lies!” Jerry told her. “I’m on to you!”

“What lies?”

“The lie that Sarah was gay! You forced her to confess it!”

“I did not!” Cathie defended herself.

“I read the story online! You didn’t think Sarah would blog about this?”

“She did?” Cathie said, sounding shocked.

And just as Jerry had the goods on his ex-wife, Sarah came in from the kitchen after getting home from grocery shopping and got caught in the scuffle.

“Sarah, watch out!” Jerry yelled at his wife as he tried to shield her from Cathie.

Cathie grabbed Sarah and held her hostage as leverage to get what she wanted.

“Come any closer and she dies!” Cathie said pointing a gun at Sarah’s forehead.
