“Hello,” I answered. I heard music in the background and a familiar voice as she sang along to, ‘What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.’ I panicked. “Pete, if you can hear me. Hide! I’ll be there as fast as I can. Tap on the phone if you understand me.” I heard a click and the phone went dead. If she hurts Pete… I couldn’t think about that. I needed Steve’s help. He’d better answer his phone. “Hi Corny. I’m in the middle of a meeting. Can I call you back?” Steve asked. “No! Celeste is in our house right this minute. I think Pete’s in danger. I’m heading home. If you ever had any faith in me, you’ll meet me there.” I hung up. Steve called several times on my way home. I didn’t want to hear that he didn’t believe me and wouldn’t come. I pulled up to our house. A black SUV was parked in the driveway. I assumed the vehicle belonged to Celeste. She didn’t even try and hide her car.
What do You think about The Ex (The Corny Myers Series)?
