Page 47 of My Bully's Crush: Vol1
“No, I said.Reggie went digging, and it caught my dad’s attention.”
“Digging into what?I’ve never had any dealings with your family.”
“The church you belong to.Do you know what it’s a front for?”
Oh no, here we go.Not this bullshit again.
“Don’t tell me that your dad believes that shit.”He gave me a look that said no one would ever find my body if I said the wrong thing about his dad, and I forced myself not to take a step back.
“He does, and it’s true.My nieces found something.”
“How did your nieces get involved?”
“One of them overheard the conversation, and then the three of them spent an hour telling me about your drama because they’re ten-year-olds who are into that crap you sing.”
Wow, low blow.But I guess the heir to the city can get away with it.
“So, what is this about the church, and what does it have to do with me?”
“I’m not here about that.”
“You’re not?”What the fuck are you here about, then?
“No, that’s a separate issue that will be dealt with.I’m here because my nieces, one of them in particular, have ordered me to come here and give you a plan to get your life back.”I feel like I fell down the rabbit hole.Who the hell are his nieces?Didn’t he say they were ten?So why does he look scared when mentioning them?
“You’re not making any sense; what the hell are you trying to say?”
“Sit down.I’ll spell it out for you.”
I didn’t sense any danger, so I sat on the chair across from him and waited.Then I had my mind blown for the next two hours, and he had receipts.“Is all of this real?”
“Yes, it is.This, quite frankly, is a fight between good and evil, and it’s being played out on the world stage with you as one of the main characters.”
“And it started that long ago?When I was a kid?”If what he said is true, then I’m dealing with some very diabolical people.Masterminds behind some of the worst shit I’ve ever heard of.“Mary was in on it from the beginning?I didn’t even know her.”
“Yes, she was.You were groomed in more ways than one.While you were looking out for one, they trapped you with another.”
“And what about Elena?Why did they do this to her?”
“Because she was trying to warn you, even though she doesn’t know the depths of it, she saw some of the signs, things she knew were no good for you, so she tried to pull you back.That’s why they set her up.”
“Your wife is quite the villain here, in case you missed it.She’s showing the world outright that evil can overcome good.People can see what you can’t in her, and she knows it, but she doesn’t care.As long as they kept you drugged and under their control, she got what she wanted.”
“Now that you’ve disappeared, she’s a bit rattled, so she’s been attacking your girl, and this is what my nieces are most interested in.They want it to stop.”He looked at me like it was my fault that that twit was mental.
“She uses negative press against herself to get back at your girl, who, as you know, is worth ten of her.It’s all to prove to you and your fans that she’s good because of your twisted ideas about faith.So, each time the fans attack her, she can run to you and say look, see, the whole world hates me.It’s to make it seem as if she’s the one being crucified but believe me; she’s as dark as the rest of them.Do not turn your back on her.”
“You’re telling me that it’s worse than what my mom and Reggie already told me?”
“Yes.It started with her dad wanting to be one of the rich and famous, but he was a flop in the Wood, so he had to find another way.”
“He saw his daughter’s fascination and obsession with you, and he used it.”
“That doesn’t make any sense.Do you know how long ago it was when I first met them?She was still a child.”
“Never underestimate the power of greed.You add a little bit of crazy into the mix, and you’re pretty much fucked, as you have learned.He played the long game.They played the long game, but they had some help.”
He went on to tell me how Mary got involved, and then Matt, my spiritual advisor, and even Scott, my trusted manager, and my blood ran cold at the things he shared.
