Glimpse Of Us

Blackmail

I woke up as the sun was rising, I never got much sleep only around three hours. I get my laptop from my bag that I packed before coming here and settled down on the couch with a coffee, I started to reply to emails as I come across one marked as Urgent, I open it first thinking it's from a brand but instead it was from an email address which contained numbers only. I frown as I begin to read it - Hi Shannon. Congratulations on the wedding, that wasn't the only big new you had yesterday was it? I know Chris' little secret and if you want to keep it private you're going to do the following. Withdraw £100,000 in cash, go to the carpark downtown by the bank at 12pm and look for a Black SUV. Leave the cash and drive off no questions asked, if any sort of contact is made with the police or royals the news will be published. I read the email over and over again before someone begins banging on the door, I jump not expecting anyone looking at the time it was just past 7am, the banging continues as I creep towards the door. "Shannon, open the door I know you're in there" he says - thank god it was Chris. I open the door and he storms in, I close the door behind him as he begins. "What the hell Shannon! I woke up with a note and you were gone! I know I was an ass last night but jesus you gave me a fright" the panic in his eyes show as I stand looking at him. "I got a blackmail email, it was Charlotte" Chris looks confused as I show him the email. "It was her and don't tell me it wasn't because she was the only person who knew that we knew about her son, i'm not giving her any sort of money and i'm sure she'll be seeking legal advice for late child maintenance when we find out he's your son.". Chris sighs running his fingers thought his hair before pulling out his phone and calling his lawyer. We had a meeting set up for later in the afternoon and now that I was Chris wife I legally had to attend the meeting, we showed the lawyer everything and they had contacted Charlotte on our behalf. In terms of the money it wasn't going to happen, I ignored the email and wasn't going to be blackmailed by some crazy jealous ex girlfriend.

Everything about today was mentally draining, Chris drove us back to the house and I was still pissed about his attitude last night. "I was going back to my apartment" I inform him as he pulls up outside the house opening the gate via an app on his phone. "This is your home, I said i'm sorry for being and ass. We'll sort everything out just please come home" he pleads and I let out a sigh. We get out the car and approach the house, Chris scoops me up off my feet carrying me towards the house in a bridal style taking me by surprise, I laugh and kick my feet. Chris kicks the door shut and makes his way to our bedroom planting me on the bed and climbing on top of me. "We're gonna be alright aren't we?" He asks with a sense of sadness in his voice, he was really breaking my heart. "We'll work it out, no matter what. I love you mr Evans" I say wrapping my arms around his neck, "I love you more mrs Evans" he grins before leaning down and attaching his lips onto mine.
