The grey exterior made things look even gloomier than usual as I took a deep breath before going to reach for the door hand.
“Hey..don’t even think about it.” Caspian grumbled and quickly jumped out of the car before racing to the passenger door. Making me laugh to myself as he quickly opened it and practically dragged me out.
That’s when he kissed me tenderly, causing my eyes to flutter shut as he held me tightly. We stayed like that for a few more moments while my hands gripped his shirt as he placed a kiss on the top of my head before inhaling deeply.
Anna offered to help out, but I kind of didn’t want to make a big deal about all of this..so instead I was able to convince her to meet up for dinner tonight with me, Caspian and..Milo. Yeah..they have been talking this entire time since our wedding. I guess it’s getting pretty serious..well, for Anna. She says she has been talking to him until the early hours of the morning every night.
Then she went into something about phone sex and that’s when I shut her out..I’m happy for her because after going on this trip, I realized Milo is a great guy…and that’s what Anna deserves.
“Ready baby?” Caspian asked, his hands cupping my face before tilting my head back and peering into my eyes.
“Yeah..let’s get this over with. I’m ready to move on from this chapter..and I can’t wait to start the next one with you.” I confessed, making Caspian grin from ear to ear.
“I can’t wait either my wife..and this is just the beginning.” He breathed, making my heart skip a beat as he pulled away before taking my hand.
“Let’s do this.”
(Viva)
I can’t believe Dave and Heather have stooped this low..for Heather to kick her own daughter out..it’s disgusting and I feel like I don’t even know her anymore.
Heather and I had been best friends since our freshman year in high school. I felt like the moment I saw her, we just clicked.
Dave and I both knew what was going to happen by our senior year of high school..but what I didn’t know is that he had been seeing Heather the entire time secretly.
Then when our parents made us announce our engagement..she begged me not to go through with it.
This is where things get really fucked up..I was going to end the engagement..my dad wasn’t going to force me..but I had fallen in love with Dave..and the fact that this would make our families flourish even more..it felt right to me.
But I told him I wouldn’t go through with it. I told him if he wanted to be with Heather that I would support them..but no, he chose me. He told me he would leave Heather and be with me.
What a fucking liar..he has played all of us..and I don’t give a shit that he screwed me over and had been sleeping with Heather the whole time..no..I am pissed off because he messed with MY kids.
Nobody messes with my children..and now that we have physical proof of their affair, I can finally get my revenge.
You see..Dave’s family had me sign a prenuptial agreement..so that meant I wouldn’t be able to own any shares of Kings Corporation, considering it was founded long before we were married. But..somewhere in that fine print that my family requested..the prenuptial agreement would be invalid if proof of Adultery could be presented.
That is why Dave didn’t want anyone to know about Ben..the poor kid..Heather only got with Neal to make Dave jealous.
I remember when they started dating..she acted like she was so in love..but really it was all an act.. Our whole relationship has been an act..and damn is she a good actress. She fooled me so many times..and once Dave told me he was going back with Heather..I was more hurt that she kept it from me than anything. I really thought we moved on from this.
I pressed the phone to my ear as I heard the line ringing before leaning up against my kitchen counter.
The kids had just gone to get Johnnie’s stuff so I had a little bit of time to handle some business.
“Mr. Tomlinson’s office.” A woman answered and I quickly told her my name before being put on hold.
“Viva King, what do I owe the pleasure?” Henry answered, his deep voice putting a smile on my face as I pushed off the counter and began walking to my office.
“Henry, I wasn’t sure if you would take my call.” I teased, knowing he and Dave were close..well, they used to be. That’s why I’m calling him.
Henry was a lawyer and used to work for Dave privately..and then they had some type of falling out a few years back..Dave never told me why, but I think I know now.
‘Of course I would Viva..just because I don’t work for your husband anymore, doesn’t mean we can’t talk.” He stated.
“Ex husband.” I informed him..yeah, we managed to keep it out of the press. That’s what money does for you..it makes things go away.
People close to us knew, but other than that, it stayed pretty well hidden so it didn’t make Mr. King look like the scumbag he is.
“Really now..so you finally left the asshole huh? Good..” Henry stated, the humor in his voice not going unnoticed.
“If only it happened that way..actually..it turned out he was having an affair the entire time..with Heather.” I said, making the line grow quiet.
“But you already knew that, didn’t you Henry?” I asked, causing him to let our a deep sigh.
“Viva..”
“Don’t worry, there are no hard feelings..I suspected but never had any proof..they were pretty good at hiding it..in fact, it almost felt like they might’ve had some help.” I said cooly, remember all those times Dave and Henry went on those “boys” trips.
“Why are you calling Viva?” Henry asked firmly, losing that humor now.
“Well, as you know, Dave had me sign a prenup..” I stated.
“Yeah..but considering you already divorced..and there is no concrete proof..” He began, making me nod to myself.
“Yes..but..let’s say there was proof..living breathing proof..a son.” I whispered, making Henry grow silent once more as I could feel the wheels turning.
“That fucking bastard. I knew it!!” He yelled, making me let out a laugh.
“Listen Viv..I didn’t know he was using me as an excuse at first..and after you called that one time..that’s when I started cutting ties with him. What he did to you wasn’t right..” He began and my heart began to ache..Henry and his late wife Liz used to be good friends..after she passed from cancer, well, I thought Henry and I were close.
“I know Hen..you were going through a lot too.” I whispered, making the line grow quiet once more.
“So..what do you say? Do you want to help me take down this asshole? Will you represent me Henry?” I asked, making him think about it for a few moments.
“It could get ugly Viva, for the boys I mean..airing all of this out.” He said and I let out a shuddering breath.
“They’re the reason I’m doing this..they deserve to have a secure future..one that their father can’t use to manipulate them. My boys are my world Henry, you know this..and I won’t let Dave King run off with his mistress and come out on top again..I want to see him burn..I want them both to burn..” I stated emphatically, meaning every word as I was ready for Dave to finally pay for his wrongdoings.
And Heather..let’s see if she stays with him when he has nothing left.
“Okay, Viva, first we need to conduct a paternity test. We will need a DNA sample from Dave..which I doubt he will give willingly…or..”
