CHAPTER 77

ADRIENNE BELLAMY told me to be patient, as if I had any other choice. She was holding all the cards. I was just waiting for her to deal. I pushed the message button on the phone and heard Savannah’s voice.

“Hi, Mommy! Guess where we are? We’re in Disney World! It’s hot down here, too. But me and Daddy are having so much fun. Daddy said we can come home soon. We won’t be in any more danger. Well, see you soon, Mommy!”

I was hoping a message from Keyth was next, but there was nothing from him. He’s just having the time of his life, I thought. He was probably having sex with Coco every hour. My anger was starting to simmer again. I took a deep breath and let it out slowly, wondering if our marriage could survive this.

I loved Keyth, but the images of him and Coco kept invading my mind. I’m nice-looking, but I’m very small. Never had a voluptuous body or anything like that, been thin all my life. After having Savannah, I lost the weight quickly, in the breasts, too. Now that Keyth has had the needles and Coco, I didn’t know how to compete with that.
