Romance Night

Timberwood: Short Stories Edition Vol. 15


"Surprise, BabyGirl!", says Tharen, Jr. 

Kristina walks into the bathroom in the master bedroom that was secretly decorated while she was out of town for a birthday vacation with the children. She finally comes home on the evening of December 1 with the kids. Tharen & Kristina's birthdays are a week apart. Hers is November 28, & his is December 5. 

They put the kids to bed, & he gently & romantically grabs his wife's hand, to take her back to the bathroom. He has the bathroom looking like Valentine's Day. 

The miniature indoor jacuzzi bath water is filled with Dr. Bronner's lavender oil soap, for a bubble bath. They get into the tub together slowly, because the water is pretty hot. He rubs & massages her back & shoulders, putting her in the mood. They do their thing & then shower off.

Afterwards, he surprises her with a candlelight dinner of vinegar & herb roasted lamb, arugula salad, baked sweet potato, gooey macaroni & cheese, chocolate peanut butter cheesecake with whipped cream & cherry on top, & a glass of Alize', along with some smooth jazz music. They made a toast & then started slurping each other down (tongue kissing like crazy). Then, they ate. Kristina enjoyed every morsel of the food.

Then, he picks her up & carries her to the bedroom, massaging her from head to toe with coconut oil. They go to town, going AT IT! Then, they fall asleep. 

Kristina couldn't believe it. She was like in a trance the whole night. She woke up the next morning, not realizing that what happened was reality & not a dream. She was disappointed in having to get up & go to "work" the next morning.

The instance she goes to clock in for work, everyone questions her about what happened. Tharen was off that day. Other Timberwood cult members act as if they know more of what happened than she did. She told them to mind their own business. The more she told them to leave her alone, the more intrusive they became. She even questioned whether or not the Timberwood cult put secret hidden cameras in her home. Her coworkers taunted, stalked, followed & harassed her all day, DEMANDING an answer for what happened that night. 

She realized that her OWN husband Tharen had set it all up. When she got home that evening, she confronted him, & then they argued & fought. Another domestic violence incident. She called the cops, & they sided with him as the "victim". She was emotionally traumatized & devastated. She tried to pack up her things & leave. He locked her inside of the house & confiscated her phone & purse. The kids were hungry & crying because Kristina & Tharen were so busy fighting. Tharen already ate, but Kristina didn't get to eat all day, that day. 

Kristina finally fed the kids, bathed them, cleaned up after them & then put them to bed. She still didn't eat. She got herself a sleeping bag & went to go sleep in the garage, where she could get TOTAL solitude. Despite all the chaos & stress, she slept soundly that night.

While she was asleep, Tharen snuck Kristina's sister Taschika in the house. They gossipped & talked bad about Kristina being "crazy". Then, Tharen slept with Taschika for REVENGE, & tried to outdo the previous night with Kristina, on purpose, to try to make her rightfully angry & jealous. 

Kristina woke up the next morning, not realizing that there was a secret surveillance camera hidden in plain sight, dangling over her head, that she didn't notice the night before. Her own husband had her feeling trapped. She called him out on being a mind control handler, & he denied it. She had an emotional meltdown when she walked into the bedroom with Taschika lying down naked on top of Tharen in the bed. That caused another argument. Taschika is already pregnant & married to Cornelius. Cornelius doesn't care. Cornelius can't stay faithful, himself.

Kristina said, "Come on, kids. It's time to pack up & leave. This way of living is NOT healthy!" 

Tharen used some of the Timberwood coworkers to stalk & spy on Kristina's every move, & then report everything back to him. Kristina was trapped with no way out. She ended up in a domestic violence shelter with her children & was able to escape Timberwood. She ended up pregnant with another baby.

THE END

DISCLAIMER: I, the author, Candy Grandpre, do NOT condone or agree with any of the acts described in this fiction short story. Only the fight for justice. This is another fictional short story series of the BIG fiction book that I've been trying to work on. This short story is another fictional illustration to expose the weirdness, torture & abuse that sometimes could go on in cults. I'm using fictionalized short stories to help shed light & bring more awareness to society on how cults can operate, because I grew up in one.
