Chapter 199

That abandoned mansion must have been rigged with surveillance gear, for sure.

Bonnie’s plan was to keep me and Russel under her thumb, so Neil would give up.

I’ve gotta thank her for that.

Now that I’ve chosen to be with Russel, I don’t give a rat’s ass about the bad press. But I do worry about my parents, especially my dad; he was in a particular line of work where all this news would bother him.

The internet was buzzing with comments. Most of them were discussing that the relationships in our circle were a hot mess.

Some folks didn’t know when to quit. They were calling out Neil on social media to come see what was going on between his ex-wife and his best friend.

This was the first time I received flowers at work. I felt a bit embarrassed but also really content.

Soon after, Russel called. “Did you get the flowers?”
