She had transformed Everett from a suave businessman to a disgraced alcoholic. Revenge was a dish best served cold, and Marie Francois Merci was a cold-blooded bitch. She also made sure to leave out the part about the hit and run that left their father dead. Paying someone to make her a widow was $3,000 well spent. No, there was no need to tell her children those minor details.

Diabolical 😂

If you have a good woman, then be a good man If you’re unfaithful, you need to quit. You’ll lose everything once she finds out And she gets on her cutthroat shit.
