It took her almost more than five minutes to finally move from the spot where she was standing, she blinked back the tears in her eyes and exhaled a deep sigh before turning around to head back inside the house. But a familiar voice that called out her name, suddenly stops her.
“Hello Cerise. Long time no see.” Jaxon’s voice made her skin crawl.
She slowly turned to the side to the cell on her right and that’s when she saw him, sitting alone in the dark in a corner. He stood up and came towards the bars and that’s when she finally saw his face in the light.
“I was hoping I would see you again.” Cerise immediately glared at him.
“Why?”
“Because I’m about to die and your husband will kill me. But I want to talk to you first before that happens.”
She crossed her arms and that’s when his eyes lingered on her pregnancy bump that was visible beneath her hoodie. She cleared her throat and his eyes quickly snapped back to hers.
