This is the sequel story to Unforgiven.

"You're lying!" Todd yelled. "You aren't married to Marty! She came to see me not even 3 weeks ago... and she did not mention YOU!"
"Marty didn't want you to find out because you have a tendency to fly off the handle... just like you're doing now," Jason stated calmly.
"Marty wouldn't do this! She said she'd wait for me!" Todd bellowed. He was close to punching Jason in the mouth when a car pulled up in the driveway.
"Marty's home. Guess you'll have to ask her."
Todd looked over to see Marty stepping from her car. She approached cautiously, shocked to see that Todd was standing on her front step. He looked angry- absolutely furious which made her want to flee. No one wanted to deal with Todd when he got into that state. She knew that someday this day would come, but she hadn't realized Todd was so close to being released. Evidently he hadn't shared that fact with her during their last visit at Statesville.
"Todd, what are you-?" she began nervously, but Todd cut her off.
"Marty, tell me it isn't true! Tell me you aren't married to this clown!" he insisted.
"I- I..." Marty stammered as she looked from Todd to Jason.
"Ohhh my God!" Todd gasped when he realized she wasn't going to deny it. Marty had been untrue to him. She had given herself to Jason. She had married him while he had been in prison. She had let their daughter call Jason her daddy. The betrayal he felt left a bad taste in his mouth and made him see red. The woman he loved had hurt him so badly.
"Todd, please...!" Marty cried out when she saw the look of fury and pain upon his face. "Let me explain..."
"No, no! There is nothing you can say that can justify this! You've been coming to Statesville to see me for monthly visits... but all this time you've been married to him!" Todd growled. "How COULD you, Marty? How could you give him what is MINE? How long have you been married to him?"
"Since- since I was pregnant with Cassandra," Marty admitted. "I'm sorry, Todd. It's not what you think!"
"Then what was it, Marty? I was doing time to get my life back on track so I could be with you and our daughter... and the whole time you were bedding down with him!" Todd said as he looked at Jason with disgust. "There is no way I can ever forgive you for this! EVER! Now let me see our daughter."
"No way. You're not going to see Cassandra," Jason said protectively. "Go away, Todd. NOW."
Todd grabbed Jason by the collar and shook him. "It's you that better go away if you value your life. I killed Suede Pruitt and I'll kill you, too!"
"Todd!" Marty cried out in horror. She knew that Todd hadn't really meant to kill Suede. Suede's death had been an unfortunate accident. She knew that without a doubt now. But she had to do something quickly... or Todd was going to lay into Jason.
"Jason, go in the house with Cass. I need to talk to Todd," Marty insisted.
"I am not leaving you alone with him, Margaret Anne," Jason refused.
"Please!" Marty said urgently. "He deserves to know the truth. Now go into the house."
"Alright," Jason said reluctantly. "But be careful, Marty. I don't trust him."
After Jason went into the house, Todd set his gaze on Marty. "Why did you do it?" he demanded. "Why did you marry Ponytail? You belong to ME!"
