Living in the shadows for years means you know just how dark things can be.
She’s married to the man who should have been mine.
She’s raising the child who should have been mine.
She’s living the life that should have been mine.
Her family destroyed and tormented me.
They thought they had gotten rid of me like mere trash.
But here I am.
Lurking in the shadows.
Watching their every move, plotting and planning.
They thought they were powerful.
But here I am.
I may have to lie my way into their perfectly tailored lives, weaving and snaking myself into
their safe haven.
All I know is this isn’t a simple white lie I’ll have to tell. I’ll have to tell a dark one, a destructive one…
A navy lie.
And when I do, I’ll take back everything that is mine.
