A Little Cinderella Moment

Chapter 95

"Candace, that's enough. You are making a show of yourself and you are currently being recorded by multiple people. I give it five minutes before this little act of craziness is all over the internet and trending."
"Dude, I wouldn't even give it five minutes I'm on TikTok Live and the comments are going crazy. I have people saying entitled Karen, crazy bitch, and I hope she gets what she deserves."
"Greg, you fucking dick take that down now, I will ruin you." Candace still struggles to break free trying to lunge at Greg. I step in front of her to get her attention to me for the last time.
"Candace, just leave, will you? You know for a fact you will not ruin Greg his family and mine tower over yours together in the business world. And this is now the last time I ever want to see you. Expect a lovely Christmas present from me this year in the form of a restraining order, but not just for me but for Greg, Lucas, Jen, Selena, and for my Savannah. You better stick to the terms of the order otherwise everything you own, and love will be gone."
"You wouldn't dare do that Chase, not to me anyway. I know you truly love me; you wouldn't do anything to hurt me. That's not in your character." Oh, how wrong she is now.
"Listen here and listen good Candace, I thought I loved you, but I now know it wasn't love at all. It was pity and desperation. What I feel for Savannah has nothing on how I felt for you during our relationship. You will be getting them restraining order papers, I will never go back to you, I just want you out of my life from now on. So just go before you make an even bigger fool of yourself."
Security escorts Candace out of the store and just before she reaches the door, she had to shout out one more final jab. "I am so fucking glad I put that bug in your phone because no matter where you go Chase I will always be there." After that final blow, she was pushed out of the door.
I fucking knew it. I knew she had something to do with my phone. I had suspicions it had been tampered with. I now have no choice but to get a new phone with a different number or get this one repaired and get the bug removed. I now have more evidence of foul play to cover my claim on the restraining order. But I will deal with that later, right now I am here to buy Savannah them earrings Candace almost stole away from me.
Walking back up to the sales clerk I ask if I could buy them earrings and I will pay cash. The clerk was more than happy to oblige and twenty-five hundred dollars later I have the perfect Christmas present for Savannah. Lucas got Selena the amethyst and diamond-crusted bracelet he was looking at. I will admit it looks beautiful and I think it will look stunning on Selena. Greg took a little bit longer to find what he wants but I hold my hands up the set he bought for Jen is beautiful. Tear drop-shaped rose quartz and diamond earrings, necklace, and ring but the bracelet is on another level. The rose quartz is in the center with the diamonds circling around it and then an oval around that, it makes it look like an eye with a slim 14KT gold chain to link it together. I will admit Greg chose well; I doubt I would have picked anything better for Jen myself.
After we purchased the girls gifts, we got them gift-wrapped as well because my wrapping is shit and I want this to be perfect for Savannah. I asked the guys if we could call into a phone store quickly so I can get this bug removed or get a new phone, I cannot have Candace keep doing this to me. I want her gone from my life; Savannah deserves better than a crazy ex stalking us everywhere. Arriving at the nearest phone store I ask the guys to wait outside to keep an eye out in case Candace is stalking me so they can keep her away from me. I'm done with her this ends today.
Walking into the store I speak to one of the tech guys and explain to him what is going on. He takes me off to a table off to the side in the corner of the store and looks at my phone. Pulling my phone apart he checks the device and doesn't find just a bug but much more. There was a chip so Candace could see everything that was going on, on my phone. Another crazy-looking thing that even the tech guy doesn't know what it does. After seeing what she had done to my phone I asked the tech guy to bag them bits up and I said to him that I am purchasing a brand-new phone. Fuck knows what else that crazy bitch would have done to my phone, she's probably hacked into my phone camera for all I know.
Luckily, I had some extra cash left over so there is no card traces just in case she's done something to my card too. I'll have to speak with the bank about that after the holidays. Buying a new phone, I tested it out straight away and get in touch with my dad and asked him to get in touch with the family lawyer to get a restraining order set up against Candace for everyone, and I explained to him why I want it done. He insisted that it will get done by the end of the day, it doesn't matter if it's the holidays it will get done and he told me to keep hold of everything that came out of my phone.
We done everything we needed to do, so we decided to head back to my place. I need to show my dad everything and thank God Greg saved the clip and it is still up on TikTok of Candace admitting to tampering with my phone and saying she will always be where I will be. I am so happy it was quicker to get home than it was getting to Main Street I need to get this crazy bitch out of my life and prove to Savannah that I have dealt with her for good and to give Savannah her Christmas present.
Arriving back at my place the guys head back to the game room and I go with my dad to his office where I see the family lawyer sat at a table with his laptop in front of him. I hope he is working on the restraining order right now. We discuss everything and go through every fine little detail on what we want cleared up and if Candace does not apply by the order she will be arrested. It took roughly two and a half hours going over everything before we are all satisfied with the final draft. We didn't just do one for just Candace we did one for the whole family and a business one that not one member of her family is to come within five hundred yards of the office or the house. Christmas has come early for me with this.
Now that that is dealt with, I go to catch up with the guys in the game room. Walking in I see the boys playing what looks like Halo on the Xbox. They didn't have to turn around to know I walked into the room.
"Hey, dude did you get it sorted?" Lucas asks me. Sighing I walk around the couch and sits on the arm of the couch and propping one foot up on the coffee table.
"It took a while but yes, the papers are typed up and her entire family will be getting them first thing in the morning. It's finally over. Hey guys since I don't have any numbers on my new phone could you message the girls and tell them what's happened and if they need to get in touch with me to go through you first and I will give them my new number personally?"
"Jen texted me when you were in the phone store and asked me what happened as she saw the live. So, Jen and Selena know but I don't know about Sav," Greg tells me while still focusing on his game.
"Wait, I don't understand. Jen and Selna know but Savannah doesn't? How come she doesn't know? They are all in the same house together before the NC girls fly home," I'm confused about that.
"Jen said she doesn't want to tell her because it's not for her to tell her and she was out of the room at the time of the live. But she did say the NC girls saw it too and Brianna wants to hurt Candace for all of her shit. What Jen said what Brianna said I don't want to repeat it as I am scared of it," Greg tells me.
"Trust me from what Savannah has told me about them girls I just hope nobody pisses them off. Country girls have a scary side to them, especially those four together." I check the time on my phone and see that it's almost time for the girls flight home. "Can either of you message the girls and see where they are gonna be after the airport?" I ask them and they both pull out their phones to text their girls now I guess all I gotta do again is wait.
Three hours later the guys and I take our cars and meet up with our girls to give them their Christmas presents in a local park. I can't wait to see Savannah; I have missed her so much. If that makes me pussy whipped, then I don't care. Walking deep into the park we see the girls sat on a park bench near the lake, so we head toward where they are sat planning on surprising them. As we got closer to them, I could hear them giggling. They must be plotting something; I wouldn't put it past Jen to pull a prank.
Just as we were about to surprise the girls they each turn around and threw a single water balloon at us. Jen's balloon hit Greg in the leg, Selena's balloon hit Lucas in the arm and Savannah's balloon hits me square in the chest. Holy shit the water inside the balloon is cold. The three of us stand still in complete shock as the girls are laughing. Greg and Lucas look at me then at each other and we nod in agreement and take off running after the girls. The girls run away squealing in delight as we take on with the chase.
Separating and heading in different directions the girls don't give up they keep running. Selena is giving Lucas a run for his money, damn she's pretty fast. Jen got caught shortly after we separated, Greg lifted her up over his shoulders and carried her under a tree and now they are both sat there talking. I'm closing in quickly on Savannah, but she is just out of my grasp. Lucas tricks Selena just before he catches her, and he picks her up and carries her over to a picnic bench not too far away. I finally catch Savannah. I pick her up around her waist and spin her around in a circle with the goofiest grin on my face and her laughter ringing in my ears.
After spinning around like the lovesick fool I'm becoming I put Savannah down, give her a quick kiss and a hug, and guide her back over to the bench the girls were at when we came to meet up with them. As soon as we sit down on the bench, I explain everything to Savannah. From wanting to go and buy her the best Christmas present ever, to Candace being there and admitting she tampered with my phone, to buying a new phone and arranging the restraining order for her. She gave me her phone for me to give her my new number and I saved it under The Love Of My Life. I sent myself a text, so I had her number and save it under My Perfect Girl.
