Emotional Distress
According to Kevin, he “didn’t see this coming and I think it was a third party that came along and told her not to do this. Because of the emotional distress and mental stress they put me through, I had to start taking more medicine for anxiety and depression due to this situation.” He wanted Marie to pay it all back to him. How an understanding relationship became a controversial one in no time just because of one thing, money!
His Word Against Hers
“The bottom line, I just want her to do what she said she was going to do. I want peace and to do what God told me to do. I want her to do what she said she was going to do. I really feel like a warrior for Christ and people need to be accountable,’’ stated Kevin who was criticized everywhere for his actions. Unknowingly he was spoiling his own reputation all over.
Saw Him In A Different Light
Everyone knows Kevin Matthews in Shallotte, North Carolina. Kevin was a respectable personality, known for his help whenever anyone was in need. People admired him for his goodness and act of kindness. People’s perspective about him changed when they got to know how he treated Marie, a single mother with 4 kids to raise. The number of people who criticized him on Facebook was increasing as everybody wanted to know the reason behind the pastor’s immature behavior.
Her House
After winning the lottery, Marie moved out of the trailer where she lived for most of her life. She could now bring her dream to the reality of owning a grand-old house. As the time was in her favor she got the right house for herself. A place with a vast backyard where her kids can play all day long. The house had its own creepy secret though.
Psychic Intervention
Her home was previously a plantation home. She even got the house checked by a psychic. The psychic said that Marie’s new home was surrounded by bad spirits of slaves who used to work and live there. This was another big concern for Marie but the biggest was yet to be revealed.
Numbers Weren’t Random
Later on, it was told that Fontella, Marie’s mother, was the one who gave Marie the money to buy the lottery ticket that day. Fontella told that on the same morning when Marie purchased the ticket, she gave her $15 when they were heading towards the church. When Fontella told everyone why the numbers were specifically picked the whole family was emotional to know the reality.
