Panic flashed in Cindy’s eyes. She grabbed my hand hurriedly. “Rainey, let’s not talk about this in front of other people. You know I-”
I shook my head. “No can do. We have to clear this up now. Otherwise, people will think that I’ve committed some unforgivable crime. 300,000 dollars is enough to buy me a house.
Surprise flashed in Shaun’s eyes. He turned to Cindy. “What are you scared of, Cindy? If she really owes us money, she should pay it back with interest after all this time.”
Cindy’s forehead was covered with a sheen of sweat. Seeing that I wasn’t going to back down, she panicked.
“That enough from you, Rainey. I know you have a crush on my husband, and I know you two have been together in the past, but that’s the thing–you’re history. Why do you keep harassing him?” she snapped.
Her words took me aback–Shaun as well.
“Shaun!” she continued, throwing herself into his arms. “Rainey told me she still hasn’t gotten over you. She kept trying to fish for information about you. I didn’t know what to do, so I avoided her!
“She asked me where I was going last night. I lied to her and said I was going to the café, but instead, I just went shopping. I got exhausted, so I decided to go to a hotel to get some
rest.
“I can’t believe…”
Sobbing, she buried herself in Shaun’s chest.
I couldn’t help but laugh at her story. “Do you want to take another look at our chat
history? You’re the one who contacted me every time. I’ve never initiated contact with you.

“Shut up!” Shaun roared at me. “Cindy is kind and virtuous. Rainey, I warn you–stay away from my family!”
