Chapter 67

She had been messaging back and forth with Kevin the past few weeks and that made her truly happy. He had gotten to know ‘Marie’ a little bit better and she had gotten some things out of Kevin about his past. She talked to him like someone who was truly getting to know him better. Sometimes it almost felt like he was trying to make her tell him that she was actually Renee, but she wasn’t really sure about it. She always managed to change the subject to something else.

She wasn’t even sure where all of this was going to lead. Could she finally tell Kevin it really was her? He obviously wouldn’t be able to accept the fact that she had been with Jesse all of this time and had stayed willingly. He had made that very clear within the first few messages. She could understand his point though. Why would you stay with someone who treated you like that? But, she had been Jesse’s victim. She knew what he was capable of as he had almost beat her to death several times.
