I know I’ve never really explained my relationship with her before, but Angela and I had something going on for a few months, but I ended it because of how obsessive she started being. It was barely a month after I ended things with her that I met you, and we got married,” he explained. “If truly Angela is behind the accident, then I’m sure that she did it because of the grudge she has against me; that would be the
