Hailey never imagined that a simple holiday could turn into a nightmare.
She came to this quiet city to escape the spirits of her past, recovering from the breaking of the heart and the loss that once broke her life. But fate had other plans. Since she entered this grocery store, a strange feeling crawled over her – a terrifying feeling that something was gone was watching something.
And then she saw him. A man who looked exactly like George, her husband who allegedly died years ago. But how could that be possible? Was her mind playing tricks on her, or just revealed a terrible secret?
The woman discovers her “late” husband alive after his crash – but the truth is much more sinister
Hailey took the much needed holiday and hoped that her past had a peaceful escape from her past. But everything changed when she saw a man in a grocery store that looked exactly like her late husband George. The impressed approached him – she just found herself in a terrifying situation.
Standing beside him was his mother, Martha. Hailey’s heart pounded when she called, “George?” The man turned and his face paled.
When he saw her, he instinctively tried to leave with Martha, but Hailey quickly blocked their way.
“George … is it really you? How is it possible? You … you should be dead!” She was dripping.
George looked nervously before he whispered, “Hailey, I can explain everything. Just not here.”
Inside his car, the silence was unbearable. Hailey finally demanded, “George, I need answers. Now. How could you betray me like this?”
His eyes blinked into the rear -view mirror and met her. “I know. I owe you the truth. But first there is somewhere to take you.”
When the car turned on the road, the memories flooded Hailey’s mind – the moment when everything changed between them.
Their marriage was stable, not if completely happy. But one night George caught in a lie. He claimed he had an urgent meeting, but when he followed him, she saw him going to a modest neighborhood where a young woman greeted him with a kiss.
Her worst concerns were confirmed – he had a ratio.
When he was confronted, George admitted it. “At first it was just one night … but then I fell in love with Stacey. I’m sorry, Hailey. I couldn’t help.”
The betrayal was too big. “It’s all over, George. Don’t bother to return home tonight,” she said, and left away.
The heart was broken, later sat in her quiet cuisine and divorced in her hand.
George, when he saw them, was furious. “You can’t do that to me! I’m not going!”
Then she noticed something alarming – her bank accounts were completely exhausted. Panicked, she tried to call George, but never answered. Desperate for the answers went to the mother Martha.
“I need to know where George is,” she asked.
Martha’s answer was cold and cruel. “That’s your fault, Hailey. He wouldn’t leave if you didn’t take him away.”
Yet she did not receive any traces of his stay.
Now that she was sitting in George’s car, she realized that they had reached a desolate area on the outskirts of the city. He stopped at the abandoned house deep in the forest.
Hailey, Hailey, hesitated at the entrance. “George, please tell me what’s going on,” she said.
Before she could react, the pain exploded on the back of the head. Darkness swallowed her.
When she regained consciousness, she gasped after her breath, “Why, George? Why?”
His expression was cold. “I can’t let you turn, Hailey.”
The fear gripped her. “What are you going to do with me?”
“I haven’t decided yet,” he replied without emotions before he left it in the dark.
Hailey ignored Martha’s protests and fought for escape. She got to the car and threw herself, her heart pounded.
“You can’t do it, Hailey! Stop the car!” Martha was screaming.
Later, at the police station, it was assured by officer Daniels. “Once you feel about it, we’ll need a formal statement. We’ll do everything in our power to have George and Martha responsible.”
When the officer left, Hailey lay back on the hospital bed and stared at the ceiling. The way forward would not be easy, but it was determined to move forward.
