They actually got along quite well, and Marilyn considered her, her best friend because she didn’t really have any that she knew of, had woken up with no memory of anything, just what was on that laptop and in the emails from Lisa. There was nothing at all before that. Whatever she’d left behind, she’d found a way to wipe it clean from her life. And that amnesia had only helped her to do so,
“You know Marilyn, you could even turn this very experience into a best??eller, write a book about a mean nasty billionaire out to extract revenge on the wife that clearly left him, after I’m gathering, years of abuse. Only to have him find her and hunt her down, try and kill her, roll the ending to him dying, of course, because he’s the bad guy. Have her life saved by some handsome devil of a police officer or FBI agent, sent to protect her.”
Marilyn shook her head, but she could actually do that, and she knew it.
“She could kill him and save self. Be her own hero,”
Marilyn nodded.
“I see it. But don’t you think that will just tick one Clavin Reeves off he finds out?”
“Who cares, artistic licence.”
Lisa waved it off.
“It was also your experience, and you don’t have to use his name or even what he looks like, change the state, hell change the country. Make it all complete fiction, change the woman’s line of job and his, for that matter, change??p how he attacks you. But I do like that thing about him being cruel to all those women that looked like his ex. That would play into his psychotic persona.”
She just nodded at the woman, she really had a bee in her bonnet, it seemed, she was gunning for this billionaire.
“Do you think he got arrested?”
Marilyn asked.
“He told me no one in this town would help me or care. Like he knows everyone.”
“He probably does know everyone, but a complaint with proof to back it up, they’ll have to haul him in and question him. As for actually arresting him, hmm I don’t know, likely politely request him to go into the police station to answer a few questions.”
She muttered,
“We’ve got proof of what he did. I doubt he’ll go to jail, but he’ll be made to explain himself.”
“I wonder what his excuse will be?”
Marilyn sighed.
Lisa had only been quiet for a few minutes, and then she stated,
“Oh, he’s going to play, that you were trying to impersonate his wife to get his money, card. Like the other women did.”
“I never went near him, not once. Denied and ignored what everyone was saying about how I looked like that woman,”
Marilyn stated with a shake of her head..
“And that is what will prove him wrong. I’m going to knock that bastard off his perch,”
she chuckled,
“We’ll get him good. I bet his stupid behaviour will make his business take a dive in the stock market.”
“I don’t really care, I am leaving tomorrow Lisa, going back to Virginia with the boys, checking out early.”
Marilyn stated.
“Hmm, he’d have to come to us and apologise if we left,”
Lisa mused.
“What! I don’t want him to know where I live.”
Marilyn shook her head.
“Not even his lawyers.”
“We’ll make it at the publishing house, not your home. No one’s got that information. Your house sale, 1 believe, was even private, so not public knowledge. It might be a small state compared to some, but like eight million people live there. You’ll not be easy to find.”
“He’s got lots of money. What if he goes digging around, or hires somebody, really wants to come at me just because I look like her?”
she worried now.
“He looked irate enough about that woman, to be the crazy ex??ype
“Hmm, could well be
“Lisa sighed.
“Perhaps we should stay here for one more day and see what he plans to do. He might actually want it sorted out quickly, and then just leave you alone, if that’s the case, problem solved. I wouldn’t want to drag it out if I was him.”
