Chapter 8 - Lennox Comes KnockingThree days later, Lennox appeared at Bessie's house at six in the morning.
She pounded on the door.
“You destroyed my marriage!”
Bessie watched through the security camera.
“You need to leave.”
“You ruined everything!”
“You ruined your own life.”
Lennox screamed louder.
Neighbors stepped outside.
She wanted an audience.
She wanted Bessie embarrassed.
She wanted the neighborhood to believe she was the victim.
Then she dropped to her knees.
“Please, Bessie. I have nowhere to go.”
For one brief moment, Bessie almost opened the door.
Then she remembered the slap.
The $600,000.

The affair.
She called the police.
When the officers arrived, Lennox finally left.
But before she disappeared, she turned toward the camera.

“This isn't over.”
Bessie believed her.
