My Own Worst Enemy Chapter 42
Current Location: The Shed behind my cabin with Shane I had just filled Shane and Kyle in on what my mother told me about Ruby. Shane had murder in his eyes. “What the fuck was Ruby thinking?” Why would she go after my mother she was innocent and never did anything to Ruby to call for this!” I grabbed Shane’s hand. “I am assuming she wanted to hurt you and she knew if she went after Pearl, it would hurt you immensely. Do not worry Shane she will not get away with this. Look we will deal with her soon. In fact, the main reason I am going to have dinner with Big Teddy is to strategize what to do with Ruby. I figured he is a big time criminal, and he can get away with the things we cannot.” Shane and I finished up our conversation than went back inside to say goodbye to the kids. Afterwards we headed to meet Big Teddy to discuss Ruby. I knew this was going to be an intense meeting seeing as Shane was Big Teddys son and they never met before. We pulled up to the restaurant, proceeded i

Current Location: Sitting in my car in an empty park I needed to clear my head before heading back to the cabin. I knew the conversation I was about to have with Shane was going to be very emotional. I did not know how I was going to tell him why I needed to give our daughter up. I also needed to talk to my mother again and I was not looking forward to that. And then there was Ruby. I needed to get back on track, destroying what little hope she had left. I had one idea that was not necessary but would be a hell of a lot of fun for me. I took a long-exaggerated breath put the car in drive and drove home. When I arrived back at the cabin Shane was sitting on the front porch. I could tell he was in deep thought, and I sat there just staring at him for a few moments before exiting the vehicle and walking over to him. “Hey Shane. Are you ready to talk or did you want to be alone? Whatever you need I will do.” Shane surprised me by standing up and pulling me into a hug. “Babe I am so sor

Current Location: Outside of Ruby’s house After Ruby hung up on me, I ran frantically into the house. Kyle saw the alarmed look on my face. “Ms. Emma what is the matter?” I stopped in front of him and took a minute to catch my breath. “Ruby just called. She is on her way back here we have maybe ten fifteen minutes to finish planting the snakes and spiders before high tailing it out of here.” Kyle gave me a hard serious face before turning to one of his men and saying, “Go tell everyone to get the job done now we need to clear out of here. I want the job done in no more than five minutes or we are going to have a serious problem got it!” The man quickly went to inform the others while Kyle and I headed back outside.“Kyle as soon as they get all the cages in the van drive it far enough away that you cannot see it from the house. Then you can walk back to my car, and we can watch the show!” Kyle grinned and said “No can do it will be you coming to the van. First off Ruby may recognize
My Own Worst Enemy Chapter 45
Current Location: In Kyles surveillance van two blocks from Ruby’s houseRuby entered her house with an angry expression on her face. “Ugg, I hate these stupid fucking politicians. They are always trying to say each vote counts and all that bullshit. Stupid assholes!” Ruby continued to rant and rave to herself about the “politician” she had just lost twenty minutes of her day because of. She sat down on her couch took her shoes off and turned on her tv than she proceeded to lay down. It was roughly twenty minutes before one of the spiders made its presence known. Ruby was lying there, and it looked like she was starting to dose off. I could be wrong about that though. From where she was and where the camera was it was hard to make out if her eyes were open or closed. Anyway, that is not important. What is important is what the first spider chose to do.This particular spider was a goliath bird eater. It was the biggest spider in the world and though they are venomous spiders they are

My Own Worst Enemy Chapter 46
Current Location: The cabin I did not understand why Shane called me for help. I did not trust him no matter is motives. And even if his father was trying to kill him, I did not see what that had to do with me. I did, however, agree to meet him for dinner the next night. After I picked up the kids we went home and had dinner. The rest of the night was uneventful, and we all went to bed rather early.The next morning, I made the kids breakfast, gave Shane a kiss and headed to my office. I had a few hours before I was due to be at Amelia’s diner to meet Millie and I wanted to get things in order at work since I was due back Thursday. I told Shane I was going to be late, so he was on his own for dinner. When I got to my office the first thing, I did was check on which of my clients were due to come see me Thursday but the couple I did have for both Thursday and Friday rescheduled for next week therefor I did not have to come back until Monday unless a client called and asked for an emer

Current Location: The hallway of the cabinEverything started moving super-fast and extremely slow at the same time. We all stealthily moved to the hallway where there were no windows. Kyle pulling Macs body along with us. It was a pointless effort though, anyone with eyes could see Mac was dead and there was no saving him. After we all took Shelter in the hallway Kyle slowly located the window the arrow came through. It turned out it was from the kitchen window, and with that line of site only Mac would have been visible. I quickly called Shane so I could warn him about what just happened and to keep the children away.Shane luckily was visiting his mother’s sister so he would not be back until around seven p.m. I did not tell him what had happened because I did not want to worry him prematurely. If he found out now, he would drop everything, and rush home and I wanted to make sure whoever was out there was dealt with first. I was startled by a knock at the front door and a man start

Current Location: At a small café waiting for my mother to meet me for lunchI was early. I hated having to wait around it gave me too much time in my own head. I was already on my third cup of coffee. I could have waited around at the cabin, but I was too jittery to do so. I wound up showing up around an hour early to meet my mother and the conversation I had with Ruby yesterday kept running through my mind.“Ruby what are you talking about? I have not spoken to Shelly other than to confront her about Spencer being her brother.” Ruby snarled into the phone. “She claims you set me up at work that is why I now have criminal charges pending against me. Shelly also said the bachelorette party was all your doing and you hired the man to take those pictures of Derek and me!” I fanned ignorance, “What the fuck? Has she completely lost her mind? What type of sick and twisted shit does this chick think I am capable of? I swear Ruby I had nothing to do with any of it. I have been the one who h
