The evil in someone we love.

Part 17

He moved on.

We met with Dexter about my divorce, we as in my mother she said the sooner I get James out of my life the better, Dexter asked me am I sure I want to do this, I told him James has moved on and living with his lover, so I'm damn sure the sooner I get that man out of my life the better.

Pierre I'll do what you wish, I will tell you this James and I are friends, Maria said remember I'm their attorney, now get him his divorce, he has grounds of infidelity, and since James is living with his lover that's proof enough. I told them I'll file tomorrow, Maria said, and James doesn't get a dime of Pierre's money, and he's keeping the house, I told her she knows James better than that, he wouldn't want money and the house is for family, so he doesn't see James arguing over that, she said fine let them know when it's written up and go from there.

I had to wonder if this is all Maria, because Pierre isn't saying much about this, deep down he still loves James, they left and I texted Pierre and asked again is he sure his mother isn't pressuring him into this divorce, he replied back he wants out of his marriage and if I can't do it someone else will. I responded I'll take care of it.

We got into the elevator, I saw the look on my son's face, I told him he has to be a man and not think with his asshole, so what if James can fuck, there are plenty of men who can do that, now man up and get rid of him, I was reluctant when you took him back the last time he fucked up.

I know mom, but it's not just me but the rest of my family, she said my kids are grown they know what cheating is, and fine let them have their relationship with James, but as for me it's over and we have a wedding to plan for Sabrina, at least she's happy and that's all a parent wants for their child is to be happy, and she wants that for me too. In time I'll find the right man who will love me for me. 

I told her I thought James loved me for me, she said James isn't our kind in a few months when this is over, she'll find me the right man to be in my life, and since the kids are grown, I don't have to worry about them I just need to move on. I thought to myself great that's all I need is my mother finding me a man, we got back to the house, and I told Sabrina I filed for divorce, she said good her daddy didn't deserve me, if he can sleep with other men or just off and leave me how much did he really love me. She sounded as if she hated James, she said now for the good and that's her getting married, and Paul's family is back so we can meet them, all but Quincy his place is with James, and they deserve each other.

 I asked baby girl to tell me the truth does she hate her father, she said sometimes she doesn't like him, look how he treated me, to meet someone at a gym and go home with him and not even think about me, he's selfish, she told us to go out on the patio and finish her wedding plans.

I told them I'll join them after I use the bathroom, they went out and I wondered how Sabrina knew where James met Quincy, I never mentioned it to her, maybe mom did after I told her what James did to me and she had our men find out more. But James always blamed Sabrina for this, and why would James keep those pictures and leave his desk drawer open for anyone to see them, fuck did Sabrina do that.

I went outside and she said she doesn't want James at her wedding it would only upset me as well as the rest of the family, mom said she'll make sure he doesn't show his face at the wedding, I asked Sabrina did she already know what her father was doing tell me the truth, mom said how could she know, James started his affair while Sabrina was in Paris with me.

 Sabrina said she has a confession to make, when she got home, she found out what James was doing, she didn't know how to tell me so she's the one who left the pictures out for me to see them, the day she went to the gym James had left, but someone told her that James was seeing Quincy so she found out where he lived and saw James's car there and she knew what her father was doing. She said she's sorry, but she had to find a way to tell me, and the pictures were it. She knew that her relationship with James wasn't the best and if she would've said something maybe I wouldn't have believed her, but the pictures would be proof that she was telling the truth, she said deep down she hated James for what he did to me and our family.

 I asked her did she hire someone to take those pictures, she said yes, she couldn't let James keep hurting me, mom said she did the right thing, I asked her who took those pictures, she said Quincy did and let James think they both were being blackmailed. I asked her why Quincy would do that, tell me the truth did she hire him to break us up, she said no, Quincy wanted to break us up so he could have James, she would never do anything to hurt me. I asked her how she knew all of this about Quincy, Sabrina said the person she hired got it from Quincy.

Mom said well he got what he wanted and that's James, and I can move on, because if James really loved me, he wouldn't have messed around with that Quincy person, we finished taking care of the wedding plans and the wedding will be at the Alexander compound, again mom said she'll make sure James doesn't show his face there.

 A few days later James was served the divorce papers he kept calling me, I wouldn't take his calls, it's over and I have to move on.

(If that's the way he wants it)

Quincy asked me what's wrong is it about me being served the divorce papers, I said yes, but fuck it how can I say anything about it when I'm staying here with my man, Quincy said is that what he is to me, I said yes and I love him he makes me feel like I'm not under any pressure and we have so much in common. What I'm saying is I'm moving on and ready to be with him all the way, Quincy asked me am I sure, it's only been a month, I told him I'm sure, tears went down his face, I told him don't cry I do love him.

James, I believe you, and you have to believe that I love you, he said he knows that bae let me finish, and afterwards see if you still feel the same. He said now am I ready to tell him why I took those pictures of us, I looked up at him and said he knew, James said not at first, but he put it together, what he wants to know is why.

I told him I knew Sabrina when I was in Paris, he said go on, I told him about the boy I slept with but I thought he was an adult it seems Sabrina set me up, but for a while she never said why she didn't want money, and then she told me she wanted him out of her life and her father's life for good, so I had to go along with this. James got up and walked out of the room, I can't blame him for leaving me, but I do love him.

 After an hour, James came back into the room, I was shaking, and waiting for him to say it's over with us he can't trust me, but he didn't say that instead he asked for a hug and said rather he met me or not something was missing from his marriage, and he forgives me. He said his daughter is evil and still sick, if she wanted to be with Paul she didn't have to go through all of this, but she gave him me, for that he can't hate her, I asked him deep down does he hate me because I was a part of breaking up his marriage.

Quincy, I could never hate the man I love, if Pierre wants his divorce he can have it, if Sabrina wants to live in manipulation let her, sooner or later she'll get hers. Quincy said will I attend her wedding, after all she is my daughter, I told him it's clear I'm not welcome there my place is with him.

 James, will you tell Pierre what Sabrina has done, he said right now he doesn't care, for once he feels free from her, and Pierre can have her, right now he can't deal with her, he said let's get changed and really celebrate us, damn I have a good man, I pray that all he says he really means it.
