His Angel

Chapter 38

Warden's Wife POV

Smiling on the outside and fuming on the inside I head into my husband's office at the prison. I am seldom stopped when I come to visit him. Waving at the officer standing guard at the entrance to the business office section of the prison. As I walk into his office, he smiles at me, like he did a good fucking job. I guess he forgot that he was the jackass that decided to do things his way.

"Well hello, beautiful. To what do I owe the pleasure of your company this evening?" I make sure to keep my smile in place as I shut and lock his office door behind me. I can tell he is misreading the situation because he has that stupid ass smile on his face. Whatever he can think what he wants, for now. Walking over to him and standing right in front of him. Then I gently place myself on his lap and wrap my arms around his neck. that is when I let my face fall.

"Damn baby what's wrong." I look down into my lap and take a deep breath and get ready to let him have it. I almost feel bad for what I'm about to do. Almost but not really. He did it to himself. "I need two million dollars by the end of the week." I managed to squeeze out a tear or two while he rubbed my back. "Baby, we don't have that kind of money. You know that. Why do you even need that kind of money?"

I can tell he is concerned and has no idea how he messed up. "Do remember the favor I asked you for?" He nods his head likes a bobblehead. "Of course baby. I allowed her free access to the woman just like you asked. She came when she wanted regardless of the day or time. Is she saying I didn't?" He is looking at me and his eyes are filled with concern and little fear. Good! All he had to do was follow directions. They were simple.

"Why did you put her in the visitors' room? I asked for a private room with no cameras. You know where you let them sit with their attorneys. That was the most important part. We would be debt-free right now if you had followed directions to the letter like you were supposed to." The color drained from his face and he has a look of pure fear in his eyes. I know in his man brain, there was a valid reason to do not to follow directions. I just can't imagine what it is.

"I know we had to catch something on camera we can use to get you out of this debt. She leader of your book club baby not a mob leader. I am sure there is something we can do to fix this." I just wanted to slap the hell out of him. He can be so dense sometimes. Min is not that common of a last name in this area. "I know Min may be a common name in South Korea, but how many do you know with that kind of money?" I hope this dense man can catch the sarcasm in my voice. "The kind of money needed to fix your embezzlement scandal? You know so you could keep this job you wanted so bad." He flinched like I slapped him. Good.

"You mean the money I took so you could keep up appearances with your friends? Like you still had that good old family money you grew up with. That money? I was doing my best to keep you happy." I see he is pulling no punches either. I know that I am the reason behind his crime. When we first got married I had no idea about managing money because I never had to do it. In my family, it was always just there and ready to spend.

"look I know I bear some of the blame. That is why I went to her to get the loan. It wasn't my brightest move but it was the best way I knew to fix the problem. I also worked out this deal to make the loan disappear and all you had to do was your part. A private room with no cameras or recording devices." Standing up and throwing my hands in the air I continued, "Now she wants her money back because we renigged on our deal." I love this man but I am not willing to die for him or anyone else for that matter.

"Baby, I will do what I can to fix it. Just set up an appointment and I will go. Maybe she will let me set up a payment arrangement or something. We will be fine Baby." He stands and pulls me into a hug and kisses my forehead. I hope that he can make the magic he thinks he can. Because if he can't we are dead. The only thing that is keeping me sane. Is I don't think he can't make it any worse.
