Burn Those Who Burned Me novel Chapter 212

Chapter 212

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 don’t know…probably.”

Marlon stared at her in shock. He knew that as long as Josie stayed in that house her life was in

danger.

“Come and live me. I have a two bedroom; you’ll have your space and bathroom. Please.”

Josie looked up and smiled at Marlon.

“I’m like ten steps ahead of you….but I have to wait at least 90 days.”

“Why?”

“I have to complete three months of therapy for AODA. It’s court ordered as a condition for my release.

And since the Taylors are the home connected to my probation…I have to stay there.”

Shit.

Marlon hadn’t taken that into consideration.

“Okay…but I’m going to look into seeing if we can do a change of address.”

Josie smiled brightly. It was just like her big cousin to immediately start trying to take care of her.

“I know it was a lot so I won’t pressure you….but when you’re ready…just know you can talk to me about what happened.”

Josie’s face 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.

:

“Wow cousin!! This is your condo!!! Damn this is nice!”

Marlon looked at Josie slightly stunned, she never used to curse and now today, she dropping swears left and right. He couldn’t help be laugh.

“Yeah it’s pretty decent! As soon as I finished the research team project; TriMark hired me right on the spot as a bio–engineer.”

“Oh…so then you’re rolling in the big bucks!”

The two cousins laughed hysterically. As they settled in the living room, Marlon walked over with a

box.

“Speaking of big bucks.”

“What’s this?”

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 dollars. Josie’s hands shook as she picked up the documents and began to read.

Darlene was given a sixteen million dollar settlement for both of her daughters‘ death in the plane

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 placed 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 dollars would be more

than enough to have a good life.

Josie stared at the documents.

“W–Why didn’t she just use the money on herself-”

“You know nana would have never done something like that. She wanted to make sure we lived well. Besides, according to the attorney, by that time…the cancer has already spread rapidly to other areas of her body. The time to act would have been when she first found out.”

Josie sat in silence, the hatred in her heart growing larger. 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 flames would never settle. They’d taken too much from her. Suddenly, Marlon’s words broke her out of her thoughts.

“What did you say?”

“I was saying last chance…if you want to just forget this whole revenge thing…eight million dollars is definitely enough money to last you; especially if I throw in another four to make it twelve. You can do whatever you want with that kind of money. You don’t have to be-”

“I can’t turn back. There are some scars that may never go away…that much I accept. But the others…

they won’t go away until I’ve been vindicated…I have to see this though.”

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.

“Alright then…guess I’ll have to be your trusted sidekick.”

(Both). Hahahahahah!!!!!
