Josie’s tear soaked red eyes darted over to Christian…her re was deathly. Christian took a step in

out of natural reaction.

Josie’s voice became eerily calm.

i“/iSpazz out? You think iTHIS /iiis /ispazzing out? iOh /iidear /i‘ibrother/ii…/iiyou /iihave /ino ideai./ii” /i

Christian could feel his face pale. What the hell happened between yesterday and today to tick her off so bad. Josie’s gaze fell back on Vanessa.

i“/iiIt /iiwasn’t /iienough /iiI /iwent ito prison /ifor iyour /iimurder /iiunder /iithe /iilie /iithat /iimy /iigrandmother /iiwould /ibe taken icare /iiof/i…iyou /iihad /iitry /iiand /iihave /iiher /iidestroyed /iitoo/ii./i”

Laura’s eyes widen in shocked. She quickly looked at Josie in disbelief.

i“/iiJosie/ii…/iiwhat /iiare /iiyou /iitalking /iiabout/i?? iNessie /iiwould /iinev-/ii” /i

i“/iiI /iidon’t /iigive /ia ishit /iiabout /iiwhat /ii‘/iiNessie/ii‘ /iiwould /iido/ii…./iithere /iis ia /iiwhole /iisecurity /iivideo /iiof /iiVANESSA demanding /iithey /iithrow /iimy /iigrandmother’s /iiashes /iiout /iitwo /iidays /iiafter /iishe died/ii. /iiIf /iiit /iihadn’t /iibeen /iifor /iimy /iigrandmother /iiassigning /iiher /iinext /iiof /iikin/ii…/iiyou /iicouldn’t /iieven /iilet /iime /iibury /iiher. /iiEven /iiafter /iiyou /iicame /iito /iitorment /iime /iiin /iiprison /iiabout /iihow /ishe idied/ii. /iiAbout /iihow /iiyour /iibothers/ii, /iiyour /iimother/ii, /iiand /iiyou /iiFATHER /iiLIED/ii!/ii” /i

Everyone stood around in shock, not saying a word. Vanessa’s face grew ashen; she’d honestly forgotten about that day. Josie picked up her bag and walked back towards the door.

i“/iI’m iputting /ia irequest /iiin /ito ihave /ia ichange /iiof /iiaddress/ii…/iiif /iiI /iistay /iihere/i…I’ll ionly /iiend /iiup /iiback /iiin /iijail/ii…/iithis /iitime /iifor /iisomething /iiI did /ido. iYou /iipeople /iiaren’t /iiconducive /iito /iimy /iihealth/ii./ii” /i

Josie walked back out leaving the entire family shocked and torn for words.

A few momentster, Laura looked over at Vanessa. Tears were flooding her face.

“iVanessa/ii…/iitell /iime /iiyou /iididn’t /iido /iiwhat /iishe /iisaid /iiyou /iidid/ii./ii” /i

Vanessa looked up at her mother…very seldom did she ever call her Vanessa. She knew she was mad, trying to lie wouldn’t help this situation. So she tried to minimize her damage.

10:59 Mon, Sep b22 /b

“Mom it’s not like the imakes /iit sound.”

“Then have is it?”

Harold spoke next; his voice was filled with anger. He had been trying to figure out how losie learned the truth; and to know it was Vanessa.

“Why would you be so stupidi!!!/i”

“Harold calm down!!”

“Mom, dad is right!”

Both Laura and Vanessa looked at Christian with a shocked expression. He’d never been angry with Vanessa before, but it was very clear…right now he was furious.

i“/iChris…I-”

“Did you think of what could ihappen /iiif /ishe told the truthi!! /iIf she insisted ithey /iidig /iiinto /ithe case further??? Josie had a solid ialibi /ifor ithat /iiday/ii! /iiWhat /iithe /iihell /iiwere /iiyou /iithinking /iprovoking heri!/ii” /i

Jamie stood up. He didn’t care what the situation was, he didn’t want anyone yelling at his little sister or making her cry!

“Hey, chill out iChris/i.”

i‘/iiChill /iouti? /iDo you iunderstand /iiwhat /iithe /iihell /iis igoing /iion/ii? /iOr ido /iiyou /iirelish /iion /iibeing /iiclueless/ii?/i”

“iHey /iifuck /iiyou/ii! /iiIf /iyou icared /iiso /iimuch /iiabout /iiher /iigrandmother /iithen /iiyou /iishould /iihave /iihonored /iiher /iiconditions/i! Besides…ithat /iidy /iiwas /iijust /ias imuch /iiNess/ii‘ /iigrandmother /iithan /iiJosie/ii…/iihell /iiif /iinot /iimore/ii! /iiShe /iiwasn’t /iieven /iblood irted/i.i” /i

Christian sneered at his brother.

“iSo /idoes ithan /iimean /iJosie is imore /iiof /iiyour /iisister /iithan /iiVanessa/ii?/ii” /i

i“/iNo ithat-/ii” /i

Realizing his hypocrisy, Jamie immediately shut his mouth. Laura looked back at Vanessab, /bpain filled

in her eyes.

10:59 Monb, /bSep 22

“Nessie…you don’t hate your sister…do youi?/ii” /i

Before she could answer; Jamie responded.

“Of course ishe /idoesn’t! Josie was just being dramatici! /iHonestly ithat /iwhole thing was ridiculous!i” /i

Just then, Christian’s assistant texted him letting him know he emailed over a report from the woman’s prison where Josie was at for four years.
