Wild and Wicked

Chapter Nineteen: Stella’s Revenge

To this day I cannot believe my kids would have me locked up. I knew I wasn’t the best parent to the kids after my husband left, but I never imagined that my own flesh and blood would get me locked up. Five years I sat in jail; everyday I got my ass kicked for what I had done to my daughter and the guards didn’t care. The first year was the worst because I was detoxing from drugs and alcohol. Then when I got moved to the other side of the prison all the beatings started and continued until I was freed.

When I got out, I called my brother, but he wanted nothing to do with me, then I tried Jeff and same thing he wanted nothing to do with me and changed his number. Next person on my list was Cara, but for the life of me I couldn’t find her, and Jeff told me she was gone when I had called. So, I sat in the in the halfway house in limbo, so I decided to go for a walk to my old house and to my surprise it was still standing, it looked like someone had left a package there, and oddly enough it had my name on it. So I opened it and saw that the mortgage had been paid off, keys were in the package and a phone number to call.

When I opened the door to the place, I went and sat down on the couch and called the number from the package. A gentleman picked up and said

Martin: Well well, hello Stella, it’s been awhile, how are you?

Stella: Um who the hell is this?

Martin: Oh darling I am hurt, it’s Martin can’t you remember your drug dealer

Stella: Martin what the hell

Martin: Oh Stella you forgot our deal didn’t you? What a shame that you are all clean now, looks like I am going to have to break you again

Stella: Martin, no I need to repair my relationship with my kids, I am not going down this path again

Martin: Stella do you not remember that you signed a contract?

Stella: Martin I remember, but I owe you nothing now, I went to jail because of you and my bloody ass kids

Martin: Stella, I went to jail myself because of your smart mouth brat. She should of died that night

Stella: What did you even do, I was to strung out to remember?

Martin: Remember you sold Cara to me to pay your drug debts, well I r***d her brutally and thought she’d bleed to death but it didn’t happen

I gasp before I could respond, what the hell did I do? No wonder why my kids want nothing to do with me!

Stella: Martin I don’t know what to tell you, the contract is void

Martin: Stella no it isn’t, you owe me so much money, between your drug debt, your mortgage being paid off, you owe me Cara

I know he will kill me if I don’t give her up.

Stella: Martin I don’t know where she is, Jeff wouldn’t tell me where she was, but I guess let’s work together to find her, just like you I need my revenge since she landed me in jail

Martin: Oh Stella that’s the best idea you’ve had, I’ll be in touch

Before I could respond, he hung up. I just sat on the couch and burst out crying. What am I going to do now. f**k I let my kids down.
