Life was good, and when I ran into Brenda in the neighborhood, she was looking down on
everyone.
“Heidi, you might not see me in the future.”

I acted surprised and asked:
“What happened? Did you get sick?”
She stamped her foot angrily.
“I’m moving to a different apartment in a rich neighborhood, which is where I belong. The wedding is next month, please come.”
I knew she was selling the house in the

My private investigator told me that Mark
took a loan to buy it.

I thought, how can a widow afford a house in

Mark took his money and used it to buy a

It was time to get back the money I had

She told me that her hotel was great, and that

I was praising her, and held my head,

gumu no my nuu,
“I don’t feel too good.”
She held me down and said:
“How long have you felt like this?”
“It’s been a while, I don’t feel too good.”
She ran to the bathroom to call Mark.
“The medicine is kicking in, our plan is
succeeding.”
I felt myself go unconscious.
