Tangled Beauty

Chapter 11

Michael

I WATCHED FROM AFAR as the young couple strolled up to the front of the house, walking hand-in-hand. It was a good thing I’d been keeping tabs on her the last few days. This was the last place I’d have expected to find her.

And with him?

Tightening my grip on the steering wheel, I fought to suppress my rage, although, it was very difficult – the smiles on their faces made my blood boil.

How could she do this to me?

This boy was barely old enough to drive, let alone hold her hand in his, like a familiar lover. It didn’t make sense.

She was mine!

I studied his movements as they knocked on the door, and it was then that it hit me.

“Of course,” I said out loud, smiling in relief. From the way he carried himself, any i***t could tell he wasn’t warming her bed at night. They were friends and nothing more. She still fancied me and was obviously waiting for me to make that first move.

In time, my love.

I wrote down the address and then started my engine. It was time to start the preparations for our new life together.
