“Do you know what that means?”
“Yes sir, I do, I didn’t….”
“Explain it to them.”
“Mr. Devereaux has diplomatic immunity.”
“What does that mean?” The mother asked. I hadn’t even looked at either of them after walking into the DA’s office.
I didn’t even bother calling my lawyer down here because he wasn’t needed. “That means that I can stomp your head into the sidewalk, and no one would touch me. They can’t. It means that those children are under my wife’s custody, and that makes them mine. The diplomatic immunity extends to them. You cannot have them.”
“So you’re using your money…”
“Lady, my money is the only thing saving you right now. If I didn’t have money, I would’ve taken my wife and kids and left the state, and you would never see them again. But because I have money, I’m shackled by the laws that force me to be civil to people like you.”
She stepped back after looking at her son and the DA for help, neither of whom seemed to be even blinking. “This was your second time going after her that I know of. Okay, you know what, let’s do this. You want to see your grandkids? Why don’t you come to my home and spend two hours with them there?”
“Why can’t they come to my house?”
“Because you raised that.” I pointed at her son without looking at him. “After the job you did with him, you’re not worthy to raise my dog, let alone my kids; yes, I said mine.”
“I was willing to let both of you stay in their lives as they’re your blood, but you come after my wife? If you ever come near her again, I will use my considerable wealth to make sure you can never find peace on this planet again. And you, you used your mother to get to my wife? You’re fired. Don’t even come back onto my property, or I’ll have you shot.”
“You can’t do that; I had nothing to do with this.” I leaned in close so only he could hear.
“I know your game, and I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking if you lose your job, there’s no child support and no alimony. Did you read the fine print in the divorce decree you signed?”
“It says that no matter what is going on in your life, you must pay the agreed-upon amount. I always planned on firing you, you piece of shit. I made you president to raise your pay because, by my calculations, by the time I have sent you to prison for embezzlement, the other half of your assets that she didn’t get will just about add up to what you would’ve paid over the years. Do you understand?”
“You’re going to jail, and because of the divorce settlement you signed, she gets everything. That means no money to pay some top-notch lawyer. Once the case is over, I will have your parental rights revoked, seeing as how you’re going away for a long-long time. Oh, and by the way, Melanie never stood a chance of having any power in my company. She fucked you in more ways than one.”
MARCUS
I’m still so pissed I can hardly see straight. I have all this pent-up energy because of all the waiting I’ve been doing while taking care of her. I’m more pissed about being taken away from taking care of her than I am at their feeble attempt at intimidation.
I guess some people can’t wait for an ass whipping. I’d put their shit on the back burner for a while even though it was killing me, but making sure she was taken care of came before my thirst for vengeance.
But they had to wave a fucking red flag in my face like they think I’m their bitch. “Call the bank, call in the note on her home mortgage. Let’s see where the fuck she’s going to get these visits.”
“Uh, Marcus, don’t you think that’s a bit….”
“A bit what? You think I’m going too far? Did they think it was too far to bully my pregnant wife?”
“No-no, I just don’t think they knew she was pregnant.”
“And that’s the only reason they’re alive. Now, do what I told you. I want her out of my fucking state.”
“Yes, sir!”
I slammed out of the car as soon as it came to a stop and took the steps two at a time. She was in the kitchen eating… “What? I’ll deal with you later, Monique.”
“It wasn’t her fault; it was me.”
“You, come with me.” I took her hand and pulled her along with me.
Our bedroom door barely closed before I had her naked with her leg over my shoulder and my face in her snatch. She doesn’t know it, but her pussy has saved a lot of lives in the last few weeks. It seems meditation doesn’t work when it comes to her or my Mom.
