I sat there listening to Janice. But for some reason everything seemed to be going from one ear and out the other.
Sisters
Josie Perez
Janice Perez..
How could I not see this?
Starting at her now, I wonder why I never saw the resemblance of them before.Maybe I just didn't want to see it.
But it's clear as day to me now.

"I-I promised her I would help and try to get you to sign the papers. But I could never bring myself to do that."
"How much are they paying you?" I asked in a low voice.
"Huh?"
My jaw clenched as I threw my hand down on the glass. "You heard me! How fucking much are they paying you Janice?"
She looked down. "Nothing Y/N. I wouldn't take any money from them. To be honest- I was only really doing it because I wanted to meet Noah and then once I did. I saw how good you were doing with him. That's when I realized that they had lied to me, by saying you were abusive and he needed to be out of your care."
I just chuckled and shook my head in pure disbelief.
"Wow. I'm abusive huh?" I scuffed as I shook my head in disbelief.
"I'm so sorry Y/N! After a while I wanted to come clean, but then Josie brought in someone she's been seeing and they demanded that I stay."
I stopped tapping my pen on the desk and looked at her. "Wait-she sent someone else in here?"
She nodded slowly nor bitting on her lip.
"Who?"
"Umm Dalton.."
I nearly jumped from my seat hearing his name. "Excuse me, you talking about that goofy looking dick head, I had here in my office helping me!?"
Janice gulped and nodded. "He was sent here to steal you assets and all your information. He and Josie are supposed to be together once she gets out I guess."
Wow, I shouldn't even be surprised. But a part of me is. How could all of this be happening right in front of my face and I not see it!
"Now it all makes sense."
This is why his ass was so caught up on meeting with me and not wanting to leave what I asked. He was trying to get more information.
Shaking my head I tried to think about all the ways I could handle Josie and now Dalton. I already owe him a beating, now he'll get two. Double the fuck up because he keeps fucking with the wrong one!
My eyes went from my white knuckles up to Janice herself. She was rubbing her hand up and down her arm nervously.
"He's the one that hurt you huh?" I asked calmly still looking at her.
She sighed and shrugged. "I-I wanted to stop this. I told him that I couldn't continue to lie to you. He got upset and-" She paused and pointed to her face. "I'm assuming you already know."
"So let me get this straight. You're Josie's sister, and she sent you here to basically spy on me, and help that fucking idiot take everything I have?"
I could see the worry on her face as she let out a shaky breath. "I-I am so sorry Y/N. I should have never gotten involved! You're a really good guy and I see that now. I don't know what made me even listen to my sister for a second. God-I'm so stupid! She's always been trouble, I didn't know much of anything that happened between you two but I should have known better than to take her word for the truth."
"You may leave now." I said as I nodded towards the glass door.
Her eyes great big and she stood up. "Oh Y/N- I know I screwed up big time. But please, please don't fire me. I really need this job!"
"Goodnight Janice."
I didn't bother to look at her even though I could feel her heavy eyes on me. She sniffed and nodded before slowly walking out the door and shutting it behind her. I didn't know what to believe with her anymore.
Was she in on this little plan with Josie and Dalton? Or is she telling me the truth when she says they forced her into it?
Of course I know what I want to believe. But god, I'm completely lost on this.
My jaw clenched as I sat back in my chair and looked at the stack of papers she had left.
I brought myself to look through the stack, as I did I only made shit worse.
Custody papers? With my damn signature at the bottom! It was me signing my right over to Josie and her family.
"Oh my god." I said as I blew air into my hands. Thank god this didn't get sent anywhere. I wouldn't know what I would have done.
It's crazy to me that a woman behind bars would try something like this. I guess this really is a small world. I can't seem to escape this insane woman.
From Ari💟:
I kinda miss u🥺
I smiled and chuckled slightly at her text. She just always seems to have the perfect timing. As soon as I began texting Ariana back, I got a phone call.
"Hello?"
"Hi, is that Mr. Y/N Y/LN?"
I cleared my throat and nodded as if they could see me. "Umm yes, yes it is. May I ask who's calling?"
"Oh great! This is Bria's teacher here at the elementary school, and I was calling to ask if you wouldn't mind coming down to have a conference meeting with me."
"Oh uh-" I said placing my hand on my forehead. "Yes absolutely, when would you like the meeting to be?" I asked as I started to write it down on my planner.
"As soon as possible sir." She said with much concern in her voice.
