What is the story behind Renae Marsden?
Now, even though she was trying to move forward in this relationship with Ian, she still couldn't fully sever ties with Brayden. She was still emotionally connected to him. And despite the fact that she was now engaged to Ian... Brayden remained a significant part of her life. Brayden, of course, knew about Renee's new relationship, and he didn't like that.
It definitely didn't sit well with him at all. And rather than accepting that she had moved on, he just became increasingly possessive, even so much as sending Ian threatening messages, telling him, you know, don't mess with Renee. I'm watching you despite being in jail. I have people who are watching you. You need to back off. She's mine.
And once while Renee and Ian were attending an out-of-town award ceremony for work, Renee ended up taking a photo of herself in the hotel mirror, posting it on social media, you know, a little selfie in the mirror and then posting it. However, in this photo, Ian's shoes were in the background. They were right there hidden away.
And apparently when Brayden saw this photo, he noticed those shoes and he lost his mind and started harassing both of them over it. And to make matters worse, Renee was also having issues with Camilla again. Instead of supporting her new relationship with Ian and this new engagement, Camilla seemed to do everything possible to just make it more difficult.
She also wasn't shy about letting Renee know that she did not like her new relationship with Ian. She didn't even like Ian. She encouraged Renee to leave Ian and go back to Brayden. So basically, Renee was getting pressure from every direction.
Brayden was harassing her and Ian, Camilla was pressuring her to go back to Brayden, and Ian, understandably, didn't like the fact that Renee still talked to Brayden, especially because Brayden was, like, rude to both him and to Renee, his fiancée. So a couple of months into being engaged, in March of 2013, he gave Renee an ultimatum. She had to choose between him and Brayden.
Who do you want to be with? And in the end… Unfortunately, Renee chose Brayden. So with that decision, Brayden was now happy again. Camilla was, of course, happy again. So Camilla and Renee's relationship was repairing. Camilla was kind of getting exactly what she wanted. And on Camilla's birthday on March 28, 2013, shortly after that decision had been made, Renee sent Camilla a message.
And this message read, "'There are two things that I am absolutely grateful for, and I would always be thankful and grateful for the rest of my life.' And that is allowing me and Brayden to start a relationship together. You don't understand, babe, how much it truly means to me, and if it wasn't because of you, I wouldn't have met the one person that means more than the world itself to me.
And secondly, for always being there no matter what happens. I only want the best for you, and I hope one day you can find your everything and your someone that will mean more than life itself. And more than anyone or anything in the world, I'd kill anyone that would hurt you. Learn from your mistakes, babe, especially the last few months.
