As she reached orgasm, Lauren's face twisted in a macabre blend of delight,
hate, and sheer malevolence.
Just you wait, Raegan. That was what Lauren had in mind.
As soon as they arrived in Tenassie, Raegan made a beeline for a flower shop
and picked up a large bouquet. Then, she headed straight for the cupcake shop.
The shop owner recognized Raegan immediately. It was not every day that
someone as stunning as Raegan walked in.
The shop owner handed over the box of cupcakes with a smile.
“Here you go, miss. This cake was just baked this morning, and the other one’s
on us. Red bean is your favorite, right? They're all yours, and I hope you enjoy
them instead of crying.”
When Mitchel heard the owner’s words, he felt a little flustered. He reached for
his card and said, “Please, charge it to this.”
The shop owner awkwardly said, “I'm sorry, sir. We only accept cash.”

“Don’t worry about it. I got this.” Raegan whipped out her wallet and settled the
bill.
When the shop owner handed the change to Raegan, she could not help but
remark, “Is this handsome man your boyfriend? You two look Like you're made
for each other.”
Raegan did not answer and merely offered an awkward nod.
Back in the car, Mitchel was in high spirits and even confidently said, “You see?
That shop owner has a good taste!”
Raegan was at a loss for words. In response, she just closed her eyes and said
nothing.
Not long after, they pulled up at the graveyard.
Raegan laid the bouquet and cupcakes in front of her grandmother’s tombstone
and knelt down.
In the photo mounted on the stone, her grandmother was beaming with
happiness.
Then, like a quiet storm, tears started to roll down Raegan’s cheeks.
“Grandma, I promise you that I will live a good life as you wished,” she said
between sobs.
Mitchel, too, knelt beside her and bowed three times toward the tombstone.
“Grandma, I give you my word that I'll take good care of Raegan.”
Raegan found his words odd.
Actually, Mitchel was so wired today. Just yesterday, he was so livid that he
almost strangled her to death. But now here he was, acting all sweet and
concerned in front of her grandmother's grave.
As they were leaving the graveyard, Raegan asked Mitchel to give her a lift and
said, “You can head back. I'm staying here tonight.”
Though her uncle had sold her grandmother’s house, she had managed to rent it.
But she hadn't been back in ages. Therefore, she planned to stay overnight here.
