Chapter 25 #2
At that moment, it occurred to me that it might be good to have someone with us to take care of Devon while I dealt with that son of a bitch, because no one was going to take away the pleasure of personally dealing with him. While I continued listening, I sent a message to Xavier.
Me:
URGENT.
Devon is in trouble with her ex.
I need you as soon as possible in the parking lot
of the clinic where she works. That son of a bitch
has her trapped in her car.
I was reassured because I saw that Xavier read it right away. He didn't respond, but I knew I could count on him.
I continued listening:
“Lino, we're not going to be together again because I don't want it, I don't want you.
Our life together ended a long time ago, we both rebuilt our lives and I'm happy with the life I have now and with the people who are part of it.
I don't want you, understand that once and for all.
I don't understand what's wrong with you or what you're trying to do, but end this now.”
“My queen, I didn't rebuild my life. I tried, I won't deny it, but none of the women I was with made me forget you. I'm no longer interested in having children and…”
“Are you listening to yourself? Forget me?
You were the one who ended our marriage, and I assure you it was the best decision you could have made, for you and for me.
I'm not interested in your feelings, I don't love you.
I don't want to be with you!” she exclaimed, and I noticed she was already desperate.
“That doesn't matter. I'm sure you'll love me again, I'll make it happen because…”
"I love someone else. I'm in love with someone else and I'm going to get married."
Keep going Devon, keep him talking because I'm close, my love, I thought.
"I'm sorry to inform you that you're going to forget about Cavaller and his daughter, and you're going to do it because, if you love him as you just said, you won't want anything bad to happen to them.
I want you to know that I'm willing to do anything.
Either you stay away from them or... your dear Aurora will pay the consequences. "
What had he just said?! A shudder ran through my entire body. That son of a bitch had threatened my daughter. I couldn't believe it. Not even God could save that guy now. I was going to tear him apart. I heard Devon's astonished voice.
"What are you saying?"
"You heard me. I'm willing to do anything to get you back. And anything means anything."
"And you can't imagine what I'm willing to do to erase you from our lives," I whispered, and my heart couldn't beat any faster.
"What have you become? You're a monster! And you can't hurt them, William won't allow it," Devon said, and I was glad she was making things clear to him.
"Try me. I assure you that for a week they won't know where the girl is.
And believe me, this isn't something I say lightly.
I have everything planned and I know all the schedules and movements of that house.
You can go warn them, but they'll have to sleep with one eye open because, as soon as they let their guard down, I'll execute my plan.
And obviously I won't do it myself, I have people hired for it and I assure you they're not people who work within the law. "
With what he had just said and what I had the good sense to record, I had him by the balls.
Nothing would save him now; he could say goodbye to his freedom because I was going to make sure he ended up behind bars.
I wasn't one of the best lawyers in the city for nothing, though there was a possibility I might kill him first.
"You're insane. I don't recognize you at all. You're a criminal and you'll end up in jail," Devon said, as if she were reading my thoughts.
"No; I'm a guy who wants to get back the woman he loves, a woman that an arrogant guy is trying to steal from me.
And I won't end up in jail because I'm not going to do anything—you're going to prevent me from doing it by coming back to me.
And let's end this once and for all. Now you're going to listen to me because I'm going to tell you what I want you to do and say, and you'd better pay attention and do everything I ask because I assure you I won't hesitate to carry out what I just told you.
Forget about them and start planning your future with me; you have no other choice, my queen. "
"Don't you dare touch me."
"Don't put your dirty hands on her!" I said, trying to contain myself so I wouldn't shout.
"Don't be so dramatic because, whether you want it or not, you'll end up in my bed again and you'll enjoy it like before. Don't you remember how much you used to moan in my..."
"You're a damn bastard! A damn coward! I never thought you could be so vile. I swear I hate you and I'll always hate you."
"I doubt it. You're an obedient girl and you'll do everything I tell you, plus your mother will be proud of you."
And there was that unscrupulous woman. That witch had planned everything with him.
"Why are you mentioning my mother?" Devon asked, and I could hear the surprise and confusion in her voice.
"Your mother knows everything and supports me.
She agrees that we should get married again.
She gave me your phone number, and right now she's not very happy with you because you didn't tell her you were planning your wedding with that idiot.
Still, she's calm because I assured her that wedding would never happen.
The only wedding that will take place is ours. "
Not even in your dreams, you son of a bitch!
"My mother knows about this madness?"
"Not only does she know about it, she's helping me so this gets resolved as soon as possible."
And that's why she had called me and tried to make me believe that big farce. Despicable old woman!
"Helping?"
"You'll find out soon enough. Now go back to Cavaller's house and tell him that, after our meeting at the beach, we started seeing each other and realized we made a mistake by separating because we're still in love.
Tell him you love me madly, that you never forgot me, and that we're going to get married for the second time. "
"You think he'll believe that nonsense? He already knows about your scheme with the necklace to separate us. If it were as you say, you wouldn't have had to invent that absurdity. Your plans are garbage!"
Garbage just like him!
"No, my queen. I have everything under control and I took that into account too. If you had separated at that moment, we wouldn't have had to come to this, but you preferred to believe that idiot."
"Because you made it all up! You're the idiot, the hypocrite, and the fraud!" Devon shouted, with courage, and I couldn't help but feel immensely proud of the way she confronted him and handled the situation.
"You're going to tell him that you made all that up so you wouldn't have to tell him the truth and could separate without so much drama. You're smart and you can figure out how to make him believe you. You know, either you succeed or you face the consequences."
You're the one who's going to face them!
"I can do what you order even if that makes me the most unhappy woman and makes me hate you for the rest of my life, but at some point they'll discover you, I assure you."
“Aaah, and now that you mention it, it goes without saying that you must also convince those nosy friends of yours about this,” he warned.
“They won’t believe a single word because they know I despise you.”
“That’s precisely why we’re leaving the country. Everything is already arranged. We’re getting married as soon as possible and then we’ll travel to the U.S. because I’m going to work for a company there.”
“You’re completely insane if you think I’m going to leave the country!”
I couldn’t believe everything that bastard had planned, but I was just a few blocks away and I was going to make sure his entire plan fell apart.
“My queen, stop resisting and stop shouting because you’re giving me a headache.
You have no choice but to do what I say.
Don’t worry about your job because it’s garbage anyway, I always told you that job wasn’t for a girl like you.
In the U.S. we’ll find something better or you’ll just dedicate yourself to…
me. You know I have enough money for both of us. ”
“Are you talking about the money you stole from me when we got divorced?”
Whaaaat? On top of everything, that scumbag had robbed her?
I wasn’t aware of this issue, but it didn’t surprise me that that leech had kept Devon’s money.
At that moment I arrived at the parking lot.
I immediately spotted Xavier waiting for me.
I parked next to his car and got out as quickly as I could.
I signaled for him to follow me and in a second he was by my side, but I needed to find Devon’s car.
As we walked toward the place where I had once seen her park, I summarized everything that was happening, and I could see fury darkening his face.
When I saw it, I started running toward it with Xavier right on my heels.
“Xavier, take care of Devon and make sure she’s okay. If she’s hurt, take her to the clinic immediately to get her checked out.”
“I’ll handle it. Give that son of a bitch what he deserves!”
I opened the passenger door and, in a matter of seconds, I had grabbed him by the neck and dragged him out of the car. I left him lying on the ground and lunged at him.
“I’m going to kill you, you son of a bitch.
This is for touching my woman,” I stated, giving him a punch to the face, “this is for threatening to harm my daughter,” I said, giving him another punch, and I continued like that, throwing blow after blow while he defended himself and also tried to hit me.
