My 2nd Novel: Hidden Secrets; Chapter 69

Hidden Secrets
Chapter 69

Yes, I know I post super silly photos and most don't have anything to do with the story. But that's my prerogative, so I make the most of it! Last simmer we hired a cement contractor to do a little work on the back patio. It entertained the kids and made outside play and lounging better after they finished.

Chapter 69

Jenn Washington couldn't sleep. The upstairs camera had been installed while she was at the castle. She was sure of it. Maybe while she had been swimming. Or while she was preparing dinner. Or asleep. For all she knew, it could have been done while she was in the shower. Had Katie run off unnoticed to play, and toddled around the ladder while some guy was on it doing his thing? Would Katie have noticed?

It made Jenn hopping mad. She was sure some of the sounds in the night hadn't been imagined or normal house sounds. They had been real. From an intruder. It didn't matter whose side they were on—they had entered without her permission and had done as they pleased. They were spies. Having a camera at the external doors was one thing—but in the house, and one of them outside her bedroom? It was infuriating.

Jenn yanked open her cell phone and called Kevin. "Can it wait until morning, Your Highness," he answered, sounding tired and weary.

"No," she snapped. "Tell me right now everything you don't want to tell me but should anyway."

"Like what?"

"When were the cameras installed? Was I in the house? Why were they installed? Start talking. Make if fast and brief because I want to get some sleep and I can't with so many nagging questions hanging around unanswered and spooking me."

"It's none of your business."

"My life—and what happens to it—is one-hundred percent my business."

No matter how much she begged, pleaded, tried to bargain or intimidate, Jenn got nowhere with Kevin. He finally hung up on her. That was that. Jenn closed her cell phone and tried to sleep. With her gun under her pillow.
