Chapter 87


    Jessica’s Pov


    I felt like my chest was copsing in on me, that everything was crumbling around me. I knew there


    was nothing I could do. I kept calling Victor, but the calls went unanswered. Ist saw him when he was


    being escorted out from headquarters by cops. I sat in my car, unsure of where to go or what to do.


    There was no way I could follow Josh to the police station. When he was being loaded into a police car,


    I observed that he didn’t want to look at my face. He despised me and despised the sight of me. I


    needed to give him some time to settle down, but I needed to speak with Victor first.


    I decided to drive to the main house, which was the first ce that I was supposed to look. Victor had


    to be there, I was sure he knew his son had not split the shares. I had nothing and the baby had


    nothing.


    He promised me he was going to get me something. He promised Josh was only ever going to find out


    after the shares were given to me and my baby. But that was not to be, I kept wiping my tears as I


    drove off. How did he even find out about Canada? My only guess was Brandon Frazer, the ghost, he


    must have found out, but how?


    I drove into the driveway, my eyes wet and swollen. I got my makeup bag and tried to hide the bruise


    near my mouth. In a space of a month, I had a gun stuffed into my mouth twice like a hardcore criminal.


    I was reduced to nothing, not even at the level of a prostitute. I got out of the car and walked into the


    house. As predicted Victor was home, he was busy on the phone yelling at whoever was on the end of


    the line.


    I matched into the house p*ssed and to my annoyance, he turned his back to me like I was invincible or


    something. After yelling on the phone for what seemed like forever, he turned. His face was badly


    swollen, one of his eyes looked like it waspletely swollen and he could not see through it.


    “Why the f*ck did you tell him about us!” he directed his anger on me.


    “Why were you not answering my calls!” I asked but he only looked away. “Your s*upid son put a gun


    into my mouth! What was I supposed to do!”


    “He is a coward, he was not going to shoot you!” He replied. I almost burst outughing. I saw the look


    in Josh’s eyes. He was dead serious, he was going to kill me. It was the first time that I saw that look in


    his eyes and it scared the life out of me. He was calling his son a coward but he was disfigured by the


    same son. Ignored him and asked;


    “How did he find out about Canada? Who told him?”


    “You are the ones who decided to move out of this house, this house was your protection, it was


    always wiped out every day for your own good but you decided to move out!”


    I could not believe the fool, maybe the beatings he had gotten shifted his brain or something. Did he


    honestly think we moved into a new house to discuss Canada? I walked to a chair and sat down. “I


    think Brandon Fraser found out, he went digging in Canada, and told him,” I suggested.


    Victor only held his mouth. “Before he went crazy, he had the shared file and was ready to give me and


    the baby some shares. I only stepped out to buy some groceries,” I replied. A decision that I began


    regretting, maybe if I had stayed, I could have known what went wrong and how he found out. I rubbed


    my hands on my face, there was a lot of self-me going on in my head.


    “Did you say he was changing shares?” Victor asked. “Please tell me he did not have apany seal


    with him? Why didn’t you tell me!” he held me by the shoulders and shook me like a mad person. “I do


    not know, I only saw him with papers but when he left for Gentex he had his briefcase,” I replied.


    “Why didn’t you tell me? Am from instructing the police to release him without charges!”N?velDrama.Org owns all content.


    “Well if you had picked up my calls maybe you would have found out,” I yelled at him.


    He quickly grabbed the phone and I could only assume he was calling the police department and


    ordering them to put his son back in the cells.


    “I have changed my mind, I want to press charges for the attempted murder!” He yelled at them but he


    was told something that sent him running to the Tv. I followed behind as he switched on the Tv, and his


    son popped up. My heart stopped for a minute as I watched Josh air all our dirtyundry for the world


    to hear and watch.


    What was worse was the fact that he made the shares public while dering that I was carrying his


    father’s child. I turned to face Victor who only sank in his chair. I could only guess that he was proven


    wrong, his son was not a coward after all. Joshid us naked for the entire world to watch and judge.


    All our skeletons were out, we were the jokes to be picked at andughed at.


    We were finished and even though I knew nothing about the business world, the scandal was too big


    for those shares to have any value especially since it was Victor who announced my pregnancy. They


    were all going to think we had nned to steal the shares, our own shares, and pass them to a taboo.


    I was the w*ore that slept with her father-inw and got pregnant. Shame and nastiness overwhelmed


    me and I felt like I was about to burst open. I got out my phone and opened all my social media


    ounts.


    The s*it was all over my ounts, I was the shame of the city, even the s*upid agents that refused to


    sign me were busy referencing the shame as the reason why they didn’t sign me. I threw the phone in


    the corner while Victor was busy trying to block the shares but he was unsessful.


    “Why did you give him so much power, why did you not keep some of the f*cking shares!” I yelled at


    him.


    “Because he is my f*cking son!” he yelled and got up.


    I stood up and grabbed him, “where are you going? Where are you going?”  I cried out.


    “Get your hands off of me! Am going to get whatever is left of those shares,” he replied and walked up


    to his room.


    I was left alone, drenched in my tears. I did not trust him for unknown reasons but there was nothing


    that I could do. He needed to get those shares back even if they were going to be useless.


    Maybe his Russian friends were going to do some magic. They always saved Gentex every time s*it


    went down. I told myself to breathe and calm down, the damage was already done, crying was not


    going to solve anything.


    Victor walked back with a briefcase, he cleared his throat, “I think you should stay away from the public


    for now until I clean the mess,”


    I quickly got up, “How… long is that going to take?” I asked while wiping my tears.


    “I do not know, but I’m wasting time talking to you,”


    “Wait a minute? What happens to us? I mean the baby in case you fail?”


    “Just hang tight, since when have I failed to clean my son’s mess,” he stated and moved close to me. I


    tried to move away but he grabbed my head and kissed me on the forehead. He let go of me, walked to


    the door and stopped then turned to face me. There was a weird look on his face, a look that I had not


    seen on him before. If I was not wrong I could say he was lost. He turned and walked out of the house,


    leaving me in a huge empty house with nothing but shame.


    I walked to the window and I saw a reporter’s van, the press was watching us or was it safe to say me.


    I screamed out, went into my old room, and continued with my crying whileughing at my pathetic life.


    Thalia won, she won without even drawing blood. She was probably watching on a big t screen,


    expensive wine by her side, and a big fat bank ount while I had nothing. It all crumbled down my


    feet like a tsunami without warning. I had hope for my marriage with Josh but the marriage seemed to


    have been cursed from day one.
