Chapter 72 Returning

• After that weekend at Johnnie’s parents’ house, I tried as much as possible to distance myself from his family, even though they began to visit him more regularly to find out if I had any witchery going on. They always came during weekends and sometimes during the weekdays, his mom and his aunt most especially. I knew the reason why they were coming; to check to find anything that would confirm their suspicions that I was a witch or that I had bewitched Johnnie so they could go and report to the king. They gave up when they couldn’t find anything after a few weeks.
• Alas I was finally free from his family, and now I could have more alone time with my Johnnie. More good things started happening to us as Johnnie, with the whole of his life savings, bought a small land in the town as he was tired of his job, and wanted to go into pig farming. We would both run the farm together, and I even agreed that I would help with night duties while he slept. He would build a small house by the edge of the land where we would later move to so it would be easier to farm, and I was more than happy to have something else to do besides staying in his little house all day.
• We didn’t know that good luck was about to shine on us, as Johnnie, along with his friend Paul, one day discovered diamonds under the ground of the land he bought, while they were digging a foundation for the house we would live in. And that was how my Johnnie became very wealthy.
