She blinked at the thought and pushed it away. Kyst like 1 Suki but often complained about how she was eccentric a loved all the attention on her and it often sucked both K Juniper into spotlight when they’d rather not be. She frow at the notion. Juniper did drama in school. She enjoyed singing and dancing. When did she stop wanting to be in the spotlight?
When it made Kyst uncomfortable, so she was uncomfortable. She wrote it down in a separate note on her phone.
“Whatcha writing? Holy shit! Look at your hair. You sexy thing! You look incredible.” Suki plopped beside her and scared the cat right off Juniper’s lap. “Oh shoot. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry little kitty. Hold on, I’ll get her back.”
“It’s fine, Suki. She’ll come back,” she grabbed her friend’s hand and looked into her beautiful dark eyes and smiled, “I really missed you.”
“I missed you too.”
They hugged for several long seconds and then Suki pulled away, grabbed her by the shoulders and shook Juniper until her head wobbled.
“What happened?”
“You know how the doctor told Kyst and I maybe we were having too much sex and to stop trying so hard? She suggested we schedule things around ovulation and all that?”
“A couple months back? Yeah. I remember laughing telling him he’d be growing hairy palms with your gorgen around.”
“Yeah, well he didn’t grow hairy palms because he found someone to screw with every Wednesday. He didn’t like scheduling sex with me but didn’t mind scheduling it with Blow-up Barbie.”
“Blow-up Barbie?” and
She groaned, “it was so awful, Suki. I put a camera in the house, and I watched her walk into the apartment, and he fucked her right against the door, but she barely reacted. He put her on the sofa, and she laid there like a limp noodle. The guys were talking about how in the bedroom she was simply laying there letting him do whatever he wanted. Phineas said she calls herself a pillow princess, but it was ridiculous how little she actually was involved. My therapist said maybe it’s her kink?”
“Whoa! Wait. Three questions. Why did you suspect he was cheating and put cameras in? Who are the guys? When did you start going to therapy?”
“Well, at the beginning of the week, Phineas Perez,”
“Not the hot billionaire CEO who runs the company you work at?” Suki squealed loudly and cats scattered from her feet.
“Yes, shh,” she laughed at Suki and then stopped her. Don’t shush. Be you. I’m realizing we quieted ourselves dow because it made Kyst uncomfortable. Fuck him.”
“Or let’s not fuck him ever,” Suki shuddered. “He’s been my friend since we were kids but I’m team Juni all the way. He’s an asshat and the fact he cheated on you is bullshit.”
“Thanks Suki,” she rested her head on Suki’s shoulder, “anyway, Phineas called me to his office. Six months ago, his wife Denise came by asking for more money and he refused. She got upset and cried and left the building. Kyst saw her crying and felt bad for her and bought her a coffee across the street. She lied to him, telling him she was in a marriage where her husband was older with a broken dick. I guess at first he was a sounding board but eventually she made a pass and six weeks ago, he let her grope him under a table. Four weeks ago, he started working from home on Wednesdays to fuck her in our apartment. Phineas
& knew but needed the proof to get out of his prenup. Kyst ditched our gynecology exam on Friday to get coffee with her.”
“He did not.”
“He did. The worst part was, at the appointment, I found out I was pregnant, but it was clearly not going to be a viable pregnancy. He didn’t show up. I was so mad at him for not being there, I didn’t even tell him. I lost the baby Wednesday while he was fucking Denise Perez all over my apartment.”
Juni’s mouth opened and closed like a fish out of water and then she inhaled sharply, taking a deep breath and blowi slowly. She did it a few more times as if trying to regulate breathing and then she slammed the top of the table with he palm.
“Fuck cutting his balls off. Let’s just throw him in the St. Lawrence with cement boots and a chum bucket tied around his neck.”
As much as she appreciated Suki’s enthusiasm she shook her head, “murder is not the answer.”
“It was this Phineas guy who convinced you to put cameras in and you caught Kyst.”
“Yes. Then it happened and we caught them, and I lost the baby, as I expected was going to happen. Phineas, Adil and Beni all felt bad.”
“Who are Adil and Beni?”
“God, I’m not explaining any of this well.” She sighed lov blew out puffed cheeks. “Phineas’ best friend Adil is a private investigator. He’s been trying since the wedding to get the proof Denise was not what she portrayed herself to be. Phineas caugh her berating a caterer and stealing money from his wallet and he immediately set Adil onto her. They’d not been able to get the proof of intercourse because she is sneaky. My building is a secure building. Adil couldn’t get into it.”
“It’s why they asked you.”
“Yes.”
“And Beni.”
“Phineas’ lawyer is Benicio Rojas, and he was there when
Suki’s Encouragement – Part
Phineas made me an offer. It seems they were all not in agreement with asking me to help Phineas prove she violated the prenup. Beni is a lawyer who is now handling my divorce. For my involvement and in offering to place the cameras willingly, they got me a new condo, are managing my divorce and I get a million-dollar deposit to my account for pain and suffering.”
“Do you think he’ll pay it out?”
“The money is already there, I’m living in the condo, Beni personally served Kyst the papers on Thursday. Beni also arranged for me to have a therapy session on Saturday. I’m seeing her again on Friday. They feel really guilty.”
“Wait. You have a new condo? You’re rich? You have sons handling your divorce? All you needed to do was put the cameras in?” Suki clapped exuberantly
“Yup. I saved him fifty million, a villa in Spain and a bunch of other shit. He paid up.” She stared at her fingers, “they check in on me constantly. Beni lives on my floor and comes to say good morning every day before he leaves to the office. Adil pops over and texts me constantly. Phineas calls me multiple times a day, assigned a bodyguard slash driver to me and sent Mama and I on a spa day,” she ran her fingers through her new locks. “He um,” she cleared her throat, “when I was having the miscarriage, the doctor was concerned it was going to be like last time when I needed to have the D&C done so she gave me a medication to help things along. I bled everywhere and Phineas just kept me on his knee while I was sobbing my heart out. Didn’t even flinch at the blood. Adil bought me sixteen boxes of pads. Beni made me tea. Phineas called my mom.”
“She works for his parents!” Suki exclaimed as she remembered.
“Right. His mom came over too. They stayed with me until late. Mom spent the last four days at my place. I stayed alone last night for the first time. It sucked. I cried a lot. Today though as therapy homework, I’m out, alone, being with myself.”
