Saturday Spankings - The rest of the story

Welcome to Saturday Spankings! In our last snippet from Secrets on the River, Annie told her friends of her rape and having later delivered the her baby all on her own. Cassie and Sue listened in horror to all Annie had been through, but there was more story to tell.

“I wrapped her in a towel and put the bloody towels and afterbirth in a grocery bag. I had to get rid of them. I had to get rid of everything. I found one of my grandmother’s big old purses upstairs and I put the baby in there. She didn’t make a sound. I was in so much pain I don’t even know how I got down the steps and out of the house. I knew I couldn’t walk far, but there was a church just down the block and I made it that far. Churches were always open back in those days, remember, and I went in and took the baby to the front of the church and laid her on the first pew. She was so still and quiet. I think she was already dead. And then I left.”

“You left? You didn’t, I… I mean you didn’t kill the baby?” Sue exclaimed, releasing the breath she was holding.

“Yes!” Annie wailed. “I killed her. I mean, not with my bare hands, but she died in my care… or lack of care. It was my fault. The police have made the connection now. A policeman called the house looking for me! I’m going to jail. I’ll be taken from Andy. Maybe I’d be better off dead. I don’t know what’s worse, going to jail or having Andy and Lily know what I did!” She was sobbing now and seemed completely drained.

“Annie!” Cassie cried. “You don’t even know for sure that the baby died. Was it in the paper or on the news or anything?”

“I know she died. I used to have a daydream that she was found and adopted by a good family. But she was just too little to live. And that old stone church was cold even in the summer. I know she was found too late to save her.

“And why else would the police be looking for me now? They wouldn’t still be looking if the baby had lived. Lily answered what she thought was a wrong number a few months ago. They were asking for me by my birth name. I’d never been so frightened. I lied and said I’d never heard the name. I’m guessing they weren’t calling to give me a ‘mother of the year award’!” Annie said bitterly.

“I’m afraid she wasn’t found for several days. I went back to my grandmother’s house and slept for nearly twenty-four hours. When I woke, I gathered my things, snuck back out into the dark and took a bus home. All I told Mother about my summer was that Grandmother needed someone to live-in and care for her.

Dennis was still there when I got back. I didn’t wait for him to sneak into my room. I went to his room my first night back…with a butcher knife.”

Cassie closed her eyes again. Dear Lord, here’s the murder!

“He woke when he felt that blade against his private parts. Suddenly I was in control and he was the scared one. He was blubbering and begging me not to hurt him. I told him if he wasn’t gone from our home—permanently—by noon the next day, that I would come back while he slept and cut it clean off. And the next day he was gone.”

“Good lord Annie, I never realized what a badass you really are,” Sue told her.

Everyone has secrets, but most don’t have major implications. When Jenny tries to keep her weekend activities from Cal, the repercussions of him finding out land only on her. But some secrets are bigger and more far reaching. You would think that as long as Cassie, Sue and Annie have known each other, surely they could have no real secrets from one another. But you’d be surprised. The full truth behind one secret may never be known, another could change the face of The Landing forever.

From steamy sex to both playful and painful spankings, the people on the river continue to live and love and marvel at all that are learning.

Saturday Spankings - Annie's story

Welcome to Saturday Spankings. In today’s snippet from Secrets on the River, Annie has a hard story to tell her friends. Going back to when she was fifteen, she tells of the year her father lived overseas and her mother had invited her stepbrother to live with them. Soon after he came, he secretly began molesting Annie.

Everyone was quiet as Annie studied her hands. “I’ll spare you the graphic details, but he eventually graduated to rape. I was a virgin and the birds and the bees talk had been very minimal in our home. I was shocked and terrified. And I had no one to turn to for answers as to what was going on.

“I’m not sure how long it was before I realized I was pregnant. That’s when I started actually barricading my door. That made him really mad and he started lying to my mother about me, telling her he’d caught me with boys doing all manner of things I’d never even have thought to do. I pretty much lived in my room for months. I guess I was being punished, but it suited me fine. I never got very big and I was able to hide the pregnancy.”

Cassie and Sue exchanged looks of pure sadness. Cassie leaned over and hugged her tightly. “Annie I can’t imagine how you stood it. And you were so sheltered. How did you even find someone who performed abortions back then?”

“I didn’t have an abortion,” Annie said quietly. “I’m not even sure I knew there were such things back then. As soon as school was out, I begged my mother to let me stay with my grandmother for the summer. She lived in Philadelphia. Mother told me yes, since I had caused so much trouble at home.” Annie’s face hardened. “I’d barely been out of my room for months. I hadn’t caused her a damn bit of trouble. I wasn’t sure my grandmother could help or if she would, but it couldn’t be worse.

“My grandmother was in the beginning stages of dementia, maybe Alzheimer’s or hardening of the arteries or something. She did recognize me, but she soon forgot about me being there. I met some of her friends who stopped by every day. They helped her out. One brought groceries to her and another wrote her checks for the bills. Actually, it was a great place to hide. I moved upstairs and then heard her tell her friends I’d gone home. I’d go down and visit with her at night, straighten up a bit and sometimes cook for her. Then I’d tell her I was going home and go back upstairs. For days she would tell her friends, ‘My granddaughter came to visit, but she went home.’ And they believed her.

“I was content, well as content as possible under the circumstances. I tried to convince myself life could go on like that forever. I realized what a lie that was the day my water broke.”

“Oh, Annie…” Cassie cried, taking her arm. Sue leaned forward, laying her hand on Annie’s foot just to be connected.

Annie closed her eyes as if she couldn’t go on. “When the memory forces its way into my mind,” she said, “I can’t tell you which comes back the strongest—the bone-crushing pain or the absolute terror of the next few hours.”

Silence filled the hotel room as the women sat holding on to one another. When Annie continued, her voice was hardly above a whisper. “I had the baby in my grandmother’s bathtub. I couldn’t even scream. I didn’t want the neighbors to hear me. I was sure the baby was dead. I was surprised I’d lived through such an ordeal, surely an infant couldn’t. I’d read exactly one book from my high school library, on childbirth. I knew two things, tie off the cord and clear the mouth. And that’s what I did. Then she cried.”

Cassie closed her eyes. She didn’t want to hear anymore. Annie had been a mere child, a terrified one. Cassie fought the urge to cover her ears. She took a quick glance at Sue who looked as horrified and sick as she felt. To both it seemed they had taken some of the pain and terror into themselves.

In a voice that sounded strange to Cassie’s ears, Sue asked, “What did you do then?” Cassie was sure neither of them wanted to hear the answer.

Everyone has secrets, but most don’t have major implications. When Jenny tries to keep her weekend activities from Cal, the repercussions of him finding out land only on her. But some secrets are bigger and more far reaching. You would think that as long as Cassie, Sue and Annie have known each other, surely they could have no real secrets from one another. But you’d be surprised. The full truth behind one secret may never be known, another could change the face of The Landing forever.

Saturday Spankings - Cassie and Sue to the Rescue

Welcome to Saturday Spankings. We’re still trying to find out what’s going on with Annie in this snippet from Secrets on the River. Cassie and Sue get the address where she is staying and despite a broken wrist and broken ankle, they left a quick note and head out to help their friend.

When they finally stood in front of Annie door, Cassie took a deep breath and knocked. When there was no answer, she knocked again calling, “Annie, it’s us. Open up.”

When there was still no answer, Sue took over. Pounding with the side of her fist, Sue called, “Open this damn door or when we do get in there I’m going to kick your butt. And I have to pee!” she shouted even louder.

The door opened and Annie stepped back to let them in, her hand flying to her mouth in surprise as they entered. “I forgot! How could I have forgotten that you two are broken? I should never have asked you to come! I’m so sorry.”

Sue wheeled the knee scooter into the bathroom. “You need help?” Cassie asked.

“No, I got it. You just start kicking Annie’s butt. Then I’ll take my turn.”

Cassie grabbed Annie in a tight hug to stop the rest of her protest. “Thank God you’re all right!” she cried. “Don’t worry about us, we’re fine. But you scared the crap out of everyone. What in the world is going on?”

Sue wheeled in and went to hug Annie as well. Then taking a moment to inspect her, she said, “You look like hell!”

“Thanks,” Annie said quietly with the faintest hint of a smile. But Sue was right, and Cassie was worried. How had they missed the extreme weight loss? Her clothes hung on her and her nearly unlined face seemed to sag in a way Cassie had never seen before. Her skin was still so pale and the dark circles under her eyes made it look as though she’d been beaten. Her appearance was shocking.

Cassie and Annie helped Sue settle in a chair with her foot propped on another. Annie continued to apologize. “How could I have forgotten that you two were hurt? I just think of you both as so strong all the time. Can I get you anything?”

“Just stop,” Cassie demanded. “We’re fine and the only thing we need is an explanation.”

“How’s Andy?” she asked, stalling.

“How do you think he is?” Sue asked in a hard voice. “He’s terrified and hurt.” Annie lowered her head as the tears began again. “I’m not trying to make you feel worse,” Sue said in a softer voice, “but you asked and that’s the truth. It’s time Annie. Tell us everything.”

Annie nodded. “I’ve got to tell you, it feels like I’ve carried it alone forever. It’s a long story.”

Cassie sat with Annie on the bed. When Annie didn’t start, she prodded, “Does it look like we’re going anywhere? Tell us.”

Annie took a deep breath and began…

Saturday Spankings - Shocking news from Annie

Welcome to Saturday Spankings! In last week’s snippet from Secrets on the River, Annie had contacted Cassie. As soon as they got Lily out of the house, Cassie was on the phone to Annie.

Cassie grabbed her phone to read the text again. It read, I thought I could do it by myself. I can’t. Call me at this number. But, please God, I don’t want anyone but you and Sue.

Cassie was already dialing the number. When the phone was answered all they could hear were sobs. “Annie, Annie,” Cassie said as soothingly as she could, “it’s just me and Sue. Talk! Where are you? What can we do?”

Intermingled with the sobs, Annie got out, “I need you. Can you come? I thought I could go away on my own, but I can’t. Please come!”

“Of course we’ll come. Where are you?” Cassie asked her.

“Don’t tell anyone!” she insisted. “Oh God,” she moaned. “Andy and Lily will hate me.” Again, Cassie and Sue waited as crying overtook Annie.

“Annie,” Cassie said sharply, “stop that and tell us where you are.”

“I’m in Raleigh,” Annie managed to get out and Cassie breathed a sigh of relief. That was barely two hours away. “I…I just texted Sue the address.”

Cassie glanced at Sue who held up her phone and nodded.

 “Okay, we got it. Whose phone are you using?” 

“It’s one I got at the superette,” she told Cassie, who shook her head. Annie had planned this out.

 “We’ll be leaving here in just a few minutes. Now you need to get hold of yourself. Nothing could make Andy or Lily hate you! Come on Annie, you know that. And if this was something from your past, even if you broke the law, the statute of limitations has to have run out long ago.”

Cassie and Sue listened to more crying before they heard Annie say, “There is no statute of limitations on murder.”

Everyone has secrets, but most don’t have major implications. When Jenny tries to keep her weekend activities from Cal, the repercussions of him finding out land only on her. But some secrets are bigger and more far reaching. You would think that as long as Cassie, Sue and Annie have known each other, surely they could have no real secrets from one another.

Saturday Spankings - Where's Annie?

Welcome to Saturday Spankings. First, I wish you all a Happy New Year. Today our snippet from Secrets on the River takes up later in the morning of the day Annie disappeared. Cal advised Andy to check with her doctor and the bank. He finds out Annie is suffering from an ulcer and that she withdrew a large amount of cash from the bank. As Andy and the men go back to his house to look for clues, Cal encourage to women to think of anything that’s happened in the recent past that might seem unusual.

 Cassie asked, “Lily, who gets the mail at Annie’s?”

“Mostly I do. Why?” she answered.

“I was just wondering. Cal asked if she’d gotten a letter or a call or anything that had upset her. I don’t think anything we’ve done could have her this shaken up. She’d just tell us.”

Lily sat thinking. “No,” she answered. “If she got a letter, I ain’t seen it.”

“No mysterious phone calls?” Sue asked.

“I wouldn’t know what calls she mighta gotten on her cell phone,” Lily pointed out. After a moment, she said, “We did get one call on the house phone a while back. They was asking for somebody neither me nor Miss Annie knew. But that was a wrong number I reckon.”

“I don’t suppose you can remember who they asked for?” Cassie prodded.

“Lemme think… some funny name.” Lily pondered a bit, before remembering. “Somethin’ August...”

Cassie and Sue both sat down their coffee cups abruptly and together said, “Amanda Augusta Dillworth?”

“Law, yes!” Lily answered, looking at them in amazement. “How’d y’all know that?”

Cassie was trembling when she answered. “That’s Annie’s real name. I mean the name she was born with. She said she always hated it and changed her whole name when she married Andy to Annie Leigh Holmes.”

Lily’s eyes were wide as she told them the details. “When that call came in, I told them I didn’t know nobody by that name and I ask Miss Annie. She say she never heard it neither. But ‘bout a half hour later I found her throwing up. I sure didn’t think the two things was connected at the time.”

Cassie looked quickly at her watch. “We have to get this information to the boys. Lily, do you have any idea when this call came in? Damn, who could it have been?”

“I got all that!” Lily reported excitedly. “I always keep a list of anybody what call on that landline. Even wrong numbers. I keep a notepad with the date and number and all if they give it. It was weeks ago, but that man did leave a number, I ‘member.”

“You’ve got to go get that number and give it to the boys and Cal. Go now Lily, this can’t wait!”

Sue looked sharply at Cassie who seemed more frantic than when they had first found out Annie was missing. “Let’s all go,” Sue insisted.

“No! I mean,” Cassie paused. “I just can’t. This has all been too much for me. I need to lie down and rest a bit,” Cassie told them.

Both women looked at her, uncertain if they’d heard correctly. “You’re too tired to help us find Annie?” Sue asked, incredulously.

Cassie reached below the table and laid her hand on Sue’s thigh giving it a slight squeeze. Sue caught on at once and said, “Maybe she’s right. You can move faster without us. I’ll stay with Cassie and you go on.”

Lily continued to look at them strangely. “You sure you two alright?”

“We are, Lily, truly. Please go find that notebook and get the phone number of whoever called,” Cassie urged. Lily nodded and left quickly to find the number.

“What?” Sue demanded the minute Lily was out the door.

Cassie held up her arm with her watch. “Annie just texted.”

Everyone has secrets, but most don’t have major implications. When Jenny tries to keep her weekend activities from Cal, the repercussions of him finding out land only on her. But some secrets are bigger and more far reaching. You would think that as long as Cassie, Sue and Annie have known each other, surely they could have no real secrets from one another. But you’d be surprised. The full truth behind one secret may never be known, another could change the face of The Landing forever.
