Give Me Pleasure
A notification buzzed on my phone, and I glanced at it. The address read The Copper Lantern Motel. A small, dimly lit place in New York that didn’t quite fit Ronald’s usual haunts.
“How do you know where he is?” I asked, my voice sharp with a mix of worry and disbelief.
“I had a hunch that he was up to no good.”
“That’s such a sneaky thing to do,” I said, rubbing my temples as a headache crept in.
“But you just asked me to help you find him—now, isn’t that sneaky, Addison?”
“I have a valid reason for that.”
“My reason is valid, too.” There was another pause, and I could almost feel her hesitation on the phone. “Just come to the location I sent. You’ll find your husband there.”
I wanted to argue, to tell her she was wrong. I knew Ronald. He’d never cheat on me. But something in Martha’s voice made me pause.
“I’ll be there in a bit,” I finally said, grabbing a notepad and scribbling down the address she’d sent.
“Good. I’ll be here waiting for you,” Adele said, her tone firm like she fucking knew what she was talking about.
For the first time, I started to doubt myself. Could Martha be right? Could Ronald be somewhere I didn’t expect, doing something I couldn’t imagine?
I couldn’t ignore the gnawing feeling in my chest, even though I knew my husband—or thought I did. I had to find out.
