She was a beautiful young woman, newly divorced and quite naive, I call it obtuse, but to perceive the world through rose colored glasses, at the age of 35, raising five children, worked hard and grew up in the world of Southern California all her life, you would think that she would merely “Get it”. People lie, people have hidden agenda’s, they all have secrets, some that are wonderful, others are dark and deep.
Several times the wife of such a man could live with him for twenty years and never know. How could anyone not know, it’s like living and sleeping with the enemy, a complete stranger. I have a neighbor just like this and his wife has no clue how threatening he is to other women. Or do they only look the other way, thinking they cannot live without a man in their lives?
Subsequent, to return back to my story, being married for so long, her husband who always controlled the businesses, and he was a brilliant man indeed. He silently recognized that she didn’t know how he maneuvered his company, money and all the details of making a great living. He perhaps wanted to know this about her, her lack of understanding finance matters. Consequently, when the divorce became imminent, he knew precisely how to shield himself and to misappropriate all the funds even her own. He figured, hey she’s leaving the same way she came in to this marriage. Not taking into account how she provided him with everything she had to give, raising his three children and her two, working in their company, which they started together, nurtured the family and adored and loved him and their family with all her heart.
In the beginning, returning back alone into the big world, considering spending so many years for and with another person, this can became daunting and such a ordeal to endure. Coming across a place to live, looking for work, and candidly it takes a few years to thoroughly get the insight of life and to shape it all together again. The struggle was enormous and the odds were not good. Keep in mind this is a naive woman, she suffered to undergo how and what to do, not to mention she had no clue about this crazy world.
About one year into this life change, let’s call her Laura; well Laura had an incredibly pleasant neighbor that was very young, about 22 years old, Debra. Now Deb was a beauty herself, although Deb still lived at home with her parents, she thoroughly enjoyed Laura’s companionship as they would talk about finding work, growing up and clothes. Thus the day Deb came over, Laura could hear her running up to the house yelling her name, and she was so excited about her news of meeting the most awesome man in the world. Furthermore, he asked her to marry him.
Both girls at this time, were living inland, about forty minutes from their favorite town of Newport Beach, Deb's car wasn’t working and she was partaking in their engagement party that very night, at his parent’s restaurant. “Oh please!” She begged, “Please take me,” Laura hasn’t left the house in a long time, due to depression over this strange divorce, finances and life, during this time in her life she was losing ground fast. However, how could anyone say, “No” to such a dear girl?
During this horrific time there was only one person in the world that helped her, his name was Jack Wade, he owned the Cowboy nightclub in Anaheim, he never knew this story about her, but he was there to help, all the same…Thanks Jack…
As Agreed, Laura would drive and they arranged to meet at one of her girlfriends' Condo at the Beach, it was located right off Jamboree by the Fashion Island Mall, a high price area for sure. Laura was nervous about going out, she felt not ready to go into public yet, and really didn’t want to spend the evening with such young girls. However, her son was out for the evening with friends and her daughter was staying all night with her boyfriend, thus another abandoned night at home was not what the doctor ordered.
Yes, she would go and attempt to have a pleasant time, it was hot in the summer and actually it become apparent that is was about time to venture out, unvarying it was to be only a small step. During that day of rushing here and there, this sensation of dread started to creep over Laura, it was to some extent a dreamy sense of this fixation simply not being acceptable, a little like, maybe Mercury had gone retrograde or the planets were lined up in a strange way. Laura tried to ponder through these feelings and laughed them off as her world was upside down. So tonight she was going out and that was that!
