The next day
As always, Emily made sure to kiss her husband, Angelo, goodbye that very morning as he made his way to work while she stayed home. The entire night, Emily struggled to fall asleep as Joe's words echoed in her mind, and she could not put a finger on it as to why it was that he sounded so panicked over the phone.
The only thought that lingered in Emily's mind was that Joe wanted nothing more than more money from her, and it was about time that she put an end to his blackmailing, no matter what.
Once Emily heard the sound of Angelo's car engine become faint, only then did she get out of bed and proceeded toward the shower to wash, and then when she was done, she dressed in simple jeans, sneakers, and a simple top with a cap to conceal her identity.
