My Own Worst Enemy Chapter 65
When I woke, I was in a hospital bed and in a daze. It took me a few beats to remember what happened. I looked around the room and saw tony standing there staring out the window.“Tony?” He swiftly turned and came over to me. He grabbed my hand entangling his fingers with mine. He gave me a fuzzy feeling deep in the pit of my stomach. “Oh, thank God you are okay Tash. I am so sorry I was not quick enough to stop that man from hitting you. I subdued him and called Kyle. He sent someone posing as a cop to get him. He took him to the shed behind the cabin.”Tash? No one had ever called me that. I actually really liked the way it sounded on his lips. I squeezed his hand and said, “This is not your fault Tony. You kept me safe from a further assault from him. Where is Dr. Marsh? And did he tell you how Shane is doing?”Tony explained to me that the doctor went home for the evening, but he will be back first thing in the morning to discharge me. He said Shane was okay and he also already le

Dr. Marsh came over to me to try and examine the back of my head and I waved him off. “Doc where is nurse Heidi right now?” Surprised by my tone Dr Marsh said, “She should be out doing her rounds why what is it?” Tony understood immediately and swiftly left the room without the doctor even noticing. “She is the only one who has consistently been in both rooms. Yesterday when you mention there was surveillance from Emma’s room, she looked worried. Now I think I understand why. Is nurse Heidi one of Emma’s nurses?” Dr. Marsh’s eyes grew wide. “I had not even realized that. No, she is not she would not have any reason to be in Miss Whites room at all!” Forgetting I was the patient, and he was the doctor he ordered me to go out to reception and have them page nurse Heidi for him. I did as he said. Though the nurse at the reception area thought it strange, she did as I asked. It must have been the crazed look I had in my eyes. I went back to my hospital room and informed Dr. Marsh I was g

I did not even hesitate for one second and I took off like a bull running straight for Emma’s room. I was ecstatic that the closest person to a sister I had was awake and things were going to get better finally. I rounded the corner and went straight into her room. I had not even realized that Tony was right behind me until I laid eyes on Emma, and he said, “I am so sorry Tash. It seems someone lied to us.”The happiness I was feeling shattered into a million pieces. At first all I wanted to do was cry out in agony, but those feelings quickly turned to pure anger. Dr. Marsh walked briskly into the room and over to Emma. As he was checking her monitors, he turned to us with a confused expression on his face. “I do not understand why they told me she woke up when we can clearly see that is not the case.”“Shit. It is a distraction. It had to be nurse Heidi. She needed us here for some reason, but why?” I said in frustration. Understanding colored Tony’s face. “So, she could leave the ho

I could not fathom why Tanner would attack me. I know the news he learned about his wife was unsettling, but hadn’t he heard the expression do not shoot the messenger. He stared at me with true terror on his face. It was like he was asking himself what he got himself involved in. his eyes kept darting between Tony, Kyle and I but they always wound up right back on Kyle. I could tell he was extremely weary of him out of the three of us. He was wrong though; I was the one he had to worry about. No one tries to attempt to kill me without paying the price. “I am only going to ask you this once Tanner, and you better tell me the truth. I am one who is going to decide what we do with you, so I suggest you do not lie. Why the hell did you attack me, and did Ruby send you to do it?” I said in a way to show I was the boss around here. He gulped loudly before saying, “Please do not call her that her name is Sabrina. No, she did not send me. After you left my office, I rushed out and followed y

Tanner was visually devastated. He really did think we were lying to him about his wife. I felt bad for him but at the same time this bastard did smash me in the back of the head, so my sympathy only went so far. “Why would she do this? I cannot believe you were not lying to me after all. I married a monster, didn’t I?” Tanner began sobbing I turned my back trying to give him a bit of privacy. “Oh my God my children! What if she is on some rampage and she winds up going home and hurting them?” Tanner cried out. I tried reassuring him. “I highly doubt that very much, she seems to only attack people who do not do what she wants. I do not know why she came back here to burn down the cabin, she must not know we are no longer staying here. Look I will give you a pass this time but if you ever come after me like that again one of the many men around me will kill you do you understand?” Tanner did not chance saying a word and just nodded enthusiastically. I cut the rope that bound him with
My Own Worst Enemy Chapter 70
What was Ruby’s obsession with kidnapping and causing fires. Like seriously she could be a little more creative. I looked at nurse Heidi with skepticism in my eyes. “If Ruby did in fact kidnap your son why not to the police or find someone to help you?” She gave me a confused expression. “I have no idea who that is. The woman who took my child, her name is Sabrina Baxter. I did not go to the cops because she said she would kill my boy.”I could understand why she was scared, and that was with not actually knowing who she was dealing with. “Ruby is Sabrina’s real name. She has been using a false alias for years and I recently found out about it. Look, I will help you get your son back, but after you will need to go to the police and tell them everything. Deal?” nurse Heidi stared at me with a glimmer of hope in her eyes. “If you can save him, I will do anything you want. I will be indebted to you for life.”I was going to get more information from her but then my phone rang. It was Moa
My Own Worst Enemy Chapter 71
Of all the people who would have told Ruby about Emma’s plans and mine the last person I would suspect of doing so was Lucas. He was loyal to a fault when it came to Emma so why would he tell her? “What did Lucas tell you Ruby? You sound like a crazy person right now.” I asked wondering. Ruby laughed and said, “I know about everything do you hear me. About my job, about her long-term relationship with Shane, even the fact that she was behind my brother’s murder! And so much more.” I gulped not knowing what to say further. Then a slick smile went over my lips. There were still plenty of things Lucas had no idea about. “Oh, did he also tell you that when you put the cabin ablaze someone very important was there and saw the whole thing?” Curiously she asked, “Who are you talking about? Everyone I care about are either dead or left me because of my asshole cousin.” I snorted. “Oh, I bet Tanner would be hurt if he heard you did not care for him.” The silence on her end of the line was de
My Own Worst Enemy Chapter 72
I cannot say I blame nurse Heidi for running away. She was facing jail time and her son was still missing. Maybe if she knew why I had to rush out of here so fast yesterday, she would have stuck around. I could not dwell on it though; I did not have the time. I needed to find out where her son was after all a promise is a promise. With each passing day Ruby seemed to be getting more unstable and at this point I would think she would be capable of doing anything, including killing the child. I went and checked in on Emma before leaving to go see Kyle. She was looking rather well and that pleased me. I stayed for about a half hour before heading to Kyle’s hangout. I was surprised when I arrived to see so many people in one place. I wondered for a moment what other business he was involved in, but I pushed the thought from my mind. It was none of my business anyway. I walked up to Kyle, and he beamed at me. “Good news one of my men is bringing Lucas in, he was running away with his wif
