Killing my bestfriend's dad

chapter 35

"Fine, your father he was seeing a woman, they would meet frequently and do.... a lot. One time I found the woman in our bed and I got so angry so I told him he was going to have to pick between me and that whack lady."

"He picked her." I said silently.

"Not just that he laughed in my face and asked me if I thought I was an option. Anyway you know how your father was in politics back then a scandal that big would cost him. He threatened me. Told me I'd watch him tear you piece to piece. "

"D-dad" I cleared my throat. "He said that?" I asked.

"I'm so sorry honey. I had to get that divorce.  He said if he ever saw me again, he'd make sure you suffer for it. He'd send you to Vermont to some farm."

"So you never came back." She nodded.

"Listen honey, your father has secrets, deep dark secrets. You have to be very careful around him."

"Mom, who was that woman?"

She sighed. "Ella Browns. The baddest bitch of them all. That woman is no good, it's why I always wanted to keep you away from her daughter."

"Wait this could be good for me. Mom I need you to help me testify against them."

"I wish I could help you, but it's too dangerous if I get involved honey. But I can give you a key piece of evidence."

"Sure I'll take it." She walked to the drawer, opened it and brought out a key. 

"You'll have to go to the southern side, Centrale bank ask for Tyler Smokes and show them this key, they'll give you all you're asking for."

"Thank you for everything. I know we've been apart for quite the while but I'll be back someday and maybe we can catch up."

"I'd love that baby. Now off you go."

I left and drove straight to Adrian's place. I rung the bell and he opened the door shirtless and with his hair all messy.

"Simonè? What are you doing here?"

"I told you yesterday that I'd come. I got some evidence but I need you to-"

"Baby who's at the door?" A  girl came out in his shirt.

The one that's supposed to be on me.

"Uh it's a friend." He responded.

Friend? After we made out on my fucking couch yesterday all I am is a friend?

After he fucking kissed me?

And who is she ANYWAY?

"Oh hi I'm Ashley, Adrian's girlfriend. " she chirped.

She was too loud, I couldn't stand her but being friends with Dee taught me one thing and that's to fake it till you make it.

"Hi Ashley I'm Geraldine Hopes but all my friends call me Dina."

I heard a small snicker come from Adrian's lips and she glared at him.

"Oh well, did you need something?" She asked kindly but I could see the lie on her face.

Nobody talks to me that way.

"Yes surely. For you to go back in there I didn't come here to see you. "I snapped back.

"Excuse me? Anything you have to say to my boyfriend you can say to me." She crossed her arms and leaned into him.

"Okay I'll say this slowly just for you. Close your damn mouth. Go back inside. Watch the real housewives or something. We have actual things to discuss." I told her with hand gestures.

"Say that to my face again." She stepped in front of me.

"Try me bitch." I replied coldly stepping closer to her.

"Calm down Ashley I'm coming back inside. This will be real quick okay?"

"Are you really siding with this brain dead bitch?"

"Ashley-"

She scoffed and walked back inside and slammed the door.

"Don't worry I'll ask someone else for their help." I turned to walk away but his hand wrapped perfectly around my wrist.
