Broken Dreams Stories

Chapter 75

Sandra kept a close watch on her mother all morning, waiting for the moment she’d leave the house so she could follow her.

Her patience was rewarded when she saw her Mom heading out, and without wasting time, she quickly followed, keeping a safe distance from

Claire.

Claire’s drove through the familiar streets of Ludus until it came to a stop in a neighborhood Sandra didn’t recognize

She watched intently as Claire approached a particular house. Sandra’s curiosity was piqued when the door opened, and she saw Evelyn standing there, welcoming her mother inside.

It was now obvious to her that her mother had been in close contact with Evelyn since Evelyn returned. She must have known Evelyn had left the hotel the last time, yet she hadn’t said a word to her.

Her mother knew where the witch lived, but she pretended she didn’t know anything She wished her mother would act like a true step mother to Evelyn and not suck up to her like that, showing her love and concern she was supposed to give to daughter alone.

She was annoyed at her mother, but she was more angered by the bitch for trying to take her mother away from her and getting everything even though she didn’t deserve them.

She scowled as she watched Claire disappear inside with Evelyn. Sandra’s eyes wandered to the front yard, as she tried to look around where Evelyn had been hiding herself, and she couldn’t help noticing a small pink bicycle leaning against the wall.

It was clearly a child’s bike, and she couldn’t help but wonder who might own it and why it was there. Was Evelyn staying with a kid? Or was she married and had one? She mused and laughed at the absurdity,

How could she have a kid Evelyn was the perfect daughter and would never have a child out of wedlock. Sandra reminded herself.

She paused when she remembered her mother asking about Sam and Maya. Who were they? she mused and then decided to keep an eye on Evelyn now that she knew where she lived. She was going to find out who Sam and Maya were, and she was most definitely going to find owned the pink bike.

Satisfied with her discovery for the day now that she knew where Evelyn stayed, Sandra turned her car around and decided it was time to pay Rayna a visit. She needed to put her next plan into action immediately.

She had a smirk on her face as she drove to Rayna’s bakery. Once she arrived, she parked her car and dialed Rayna’s number.

Rayna smiled, but her eyes were narrowed in suspicion as she responded, “Hello, Sandy Rayna greeted, wondering why Sandra seemed to only reach out to her after she hang out with Evelyn.
