Everything is too much.

And I'm stuck.

Sharon's 6 months pregnant with our daughter. Sharon is married and isn't aware that I know. Carlos, that's her husband's name. Carlos had a son with a woman who I assume was his girlfriend. Sadly, this woman passed away during childbirth. My heart goes out to her family.

Sharon tried to drink, but I stopped her. She is unessesarily reckless with our baby. I heard all about this Carlos stuff while she was on a phone call with one of her friends. She just started going on and on about all of this Carlos stuff and how she's going to, "prove the fucking writing." Her words. I don't fully understand what that means. What writing? I was going to confront her about this but I think now that I have this over her, and she doesn't even know it, I'll be able to get out.

It's strange dating a married woman who doesn't know that you know she's married.

The more I'm with her the more I realize how trapped I am.

I won't lie, I was lost and mostly angry when I found out that the woman who finally got me out of my shell was putting me right back in one. I know I'm in danger right now. I don't know how, but I know I'm not safe anymore. I've worked on enough cases to know where this is going.

The people she calls friends or buddies are involved in something sketchy.

I have been keeping my mouth shut and acting as normal as possible. It helps that I am normally a fidgety guy.

I know I wanted just a little more in my life but this is more than I anticipated.

One of her buddies, who felt bad for me, was trying to convince me to pay him so I could fake my own death. I considered it but was not that desperate.

I think I could find another way out, but that offer is still on the table, and it may be my only way out that ensures she won't send sketchy guys after me.

Damn.
