<b>Chapter </b><b>212 </b>
Marlon’s eyes widen in horror, he knew all too well about Josie’s allergic reaction to seafood.
“Is she insane!! What the fuck! Is she trying to kill you!”
Josie lifted her eyebrows as she bit into her steak.
<i>“</i><i>I </i><i>don’t </i><i>know</i><i>…</i><i>probably</i><i>.</i>”
Marlon stared at her in shock. He knew that as long as Josie stayed in that house her life was in
danger.
“<i>Come </i><i>and </i><i>live </i><i>me</i>. <i>I </i><i>have </i><i>a </i><i>two </i><i>bedroom</i><b><i>; </i></b><i>you’ll </i><i>have </i><i>your </i><i>space </i><i>and </i><i>bathroom</i>. <i>Please</i><b><i>.</i></b><b><i>” </i></b>
Josie looked up and smiled at Marlon.
“I’m <i>like </i><i>ten </i><i>steps </i><i>ahead </i>of <i>you</i><i>….</i><i>but </i><i>I </i><i>have </i><i>to </i><i>wait </i><i>at </i><i>least </i><i>90 </i><i>days</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>
“Why?”
<i>“</i><i>I </i><i>have </i><i>to </i><iplete </i><i>three months </i>of <i>therapy </i><i>for </i>AODA. <i>It’s </i><i>court </i><i>ordered </i>as a <i>condition </i>for <i>my </i><i>release</i><i>. </i>
<i>And </i>since <i>the </i><i>Taylors </i><i>are </i><i>the </i><i>home </i><i>connected </i><i>to </i><i>my </i><i>probation</i><i>…</i><i>I </i><i>have </i><i>to </i><i>stay </i><i>there</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>
Shit.
Marlon hadn’t taken that into consideration.

“Okay<i>…</i><i>but </i><i>I’m </i><i>going </i><i>to </i><i>look </i><i>into </i><i>seeing </i><i>if </i><i>we </i><i>can </i>do <i>a </i><i>change </i><i>of </i><i>address</i><b>.</b><b>” </b>
Josie smiled brightly. It was just like her big cousin to immediately start trying to take care of her. <fnb954> Get full chapters from Find_Novel(.</fnb954>
“I <i>know </i><i>it </i><i>was </i>a lot so I <i>won’t </i>pressure you….<i>but </i><i>when </i>you’re ready…<i>just </i>know you can talk to me about what happened<i>.</i><i>” </i>
Josie’s <b>face </b>slightly darkened. She wasn’t sure if she would ever be able to talk about what happened in that woman’s prison.
After they finished dinner, they headed back to Marlon’s apartment.
<b>10:38 </b><b>Sun</b><b>, </b><b>Sep </b><b>21 </b>
:
“<i>Wow </i><i>cousin</i>!! <i>This </i><i>is </i><i>your </i>condo!!! Damn <i>this </i>is nice<i>!</i><i>” </i>

Marlon looked at Josie slightly stunned, she never used to curse and now today, she dropping swears left and right. He couldn’t help beugh.
<i>“</i><i>Yeah </i><i>it’s </i><i>pretty </i><i>decent</i>! As soon as <i>I </i><i>finished </i><i>the </i><i>research </i>team <i>project</i><i>; </i><i>TriMark </i><i>hired </i><i>me </i><i>right </i><i>on </i><i>the </i><i>spot </i><i>as </i><i>a </i><i>bio</i><i>–</i><i>engineer</i>.<i>” </i>
“Oh…so <i>then </i><i>you’re </i><i>rolling </i><i>in </i><i>the </i><i>big </i>bucks<i>!</i><i>” </i>
The two cousinsughed hysterically. As they settled in the living room, Marlon walked over with a
box.
<i>“</i><i>Speaking </i>of <i>big </i><i>bucks</i>.”
“<i>What’s this</i>?”
Marlon opened the box, and Josie could hardly believe her eyes. Inside was an inheritance document
assigned to both Marlon and Josie totaling over sixteen million dors. Josie’s hands shook as she picked up the documents and began to read.
Darlene was given a sixteen million dor settlement for both of her daughters‘ death in the ne
crash. Unfortunately, the case didn’t officially settle and pay out until a year after Josie was sent to
prison. After that, Darlene had the funds ced in a trust for both she and Marlon. She knew Josie’s life was going to be hard once she got out of prison and figured eight million dors would be more
than enough to have a good life.
Josie stared at the documents.
“<i>W</i><i>–</i><i>Why </i><i>didn’t </i>she <i>just </i><i>use </i><i>the </i>money <i>on </i><i>herself-</i>”
“You know <i>nana </i><i>would </i><i>have </i><i>never </i><i>done </i>something <i>like </i><i>that</i>. She wanted to make <i>sure </i>we lived <i>well</i>. Besides, ording to <i>the </i>attorney, <i>by </i><i>that </i>time…the cancer has already spread <i>rapidly </i>to other areas of her <i>body</i><i>. </i><i>The </i>time to <i>act </i><i>would have </i>been <i>when </i><i>she </i><i>first </i>found out.”
Josie sat in silence<b>, </b>the hatred in her heart growingrger. If Harold had just done what he promised, not only would her nana had lived, but she could have easily paid him his money back. The mes would never settle. They’d taken too much from her. Suddenly, Marlon’s words broke her out of her thoughts.
“<i>What </i><i>did </i>you <i>say</i><i>?</i><i>” </i>
<i>“</i><i>I </i><i>was </i><i>saying </i><ist </i><i>chance</i><i>…</i><i>if </i><i>you </i><i>want </i><i>to </i><i>just </i><i>forget </i><i>this </i><i>whole </i><i>revenge </i><i>thing</i><i>…</i><i>eight </i><i>million </i>dors is <i>definitely </i><i>enough </i><i>money </i><i>to </i><ist </i><i>you</i><i>; </i><i>especially </i><i>if </i><i>I </i><i>throw </i><i>in </i><i>another </i><i>four </i><i>to </i><i>make </i><i>it </i><i>twelve</i>. <i>You </i>can <i>do </i><i>whatever </i><i>you </i><i>want </i><i>with </i><i>that </i><i>kind </i><i>of </i><i>money</i>. <i>You don’t </i><i>have </i>to <i>be-</i>”
<i>“</i><i>I </i><i>can’t </i><i>turn </i><i>back</i>. <i>There </i><i>are </i><i>some </i><i>scars </i><i>that </i><i>may </i><i>never </i><i>go </i><i>away</i><i>…</i><i>that </i><i>much I </i><i>ept</i>. <i>But </i><i>the </i>others…
<i>they </i><i>won’t </i><i>go </i><i>away </i><i>until </i><i>I’ve </i><i>been vindicated</i><i>…</i><i>I </i><i>have </i><i>to </i>see <i>this </i><i>though</i><i>.</i><b><i>” </i></b>

Marlon stared at his little cousin for a brief moment. He could see the pain in her eyes as she spoke.
She wasn’t backing down.
“<i>Alright </i><i>then</i><i>…</i><i>guess </i>I’ll <i>have </i><i>to </i><i>be </i><i>your </i><i>trusted </i><i>sidekick</i><i>.</i>”
<i>(</i><i>Both</i><i>)</i>. <i>Hahahahahah</i><i>!!!!! </i>
