A Revengeless Life

Press Conference

*Emily's POV*

"Are you sure you still want to go through with this?" I asked Jack. He nodded, his lips in a tight line. "Then let's do it," I said, grabbing his hand and walking out into the bar. 

"Attention, everyone!" Jack yelled. Everyone was silent, and he nodded to me. 

"We called this press conference today to set some things straight. All the rumors about me and Daniel Grayson are true. We do have a sort of intimate relationship," I started. There were a lot of gasps. I held up my hand for silence. "Jack and I have an agreement. We have an open marriage. We love each other. But we decided we don't have to see just each other. That's why I've been seeing Daniel. And Jack has been seeing Charlotte Clarke. They were together last night, even," I said, smiling when I saw Charlotte walk into the bar, furious. 

"Mrs. Porter, how do you feel about your husband being with your half sister?" 

"I have no comment. As per our agreement, Jack can see whoever he likes," I said, smiling out at the cameras. 

"Mr. Porter, how do you feel about your wife being with Daniel Grayson, considering the two were married before?" 

"I have no comment. I don't feel threatened by Daniel. Emily is my wife after all. I'm sure what they have is just a little fun, and it will be over soon," Jack said, squeezing my hand. 

"Mrs. Porter, are you planning on ending the relationship with Daniel Grayson any time soon?" 

"At this moment," I'm not sure how long Daniel and I will be seeing each other, but I can assure you, no matter what happens with Daniel, I am still very much in love with Jack," I said, smiling and raising my eyerow at Charlotte. She was glaring at me. "Maybe we could invite Charlotte up here to say a few words? Come on up here Charlotte," I said, smiling at the cameras. She made her way over to where we were. 

"Charlotte Clarke, your comments on the situation? How does it feel to know that you're the other woman?"

"I'm not the other woman! I'm the only woman! Jack cheated on Emily last night! They didn't have an agreement! They just made that up so nobody would judge them! Emily's been cheating with Daniel for weeks!" Charlotte said. 

"Are you implying that you're the mistress? You're a homewrecker? Because that doesn't cast you in a very good light," one of the reporters said. 

"That's exactly what I'm saying!" Charlotte screamed, then backed off, realizing that she had made a mistake.

"That's right everyone! Charlotte tried to destroy our marriage! Jack and I don't have an agreement! Charlotte tricked Jack into drinking, while she was drinking water. She acted drunk, and tricked him into having an affair with her. My kiss with Daniel was just a simple misunderstanding. Jack and I are perfectly happy together," I said, squeezing Jack's hand and smiling at him.

"She's lying! They had an agreement! They did!" Charlotte yelled desperately. 

"Charlotte Clarke, why was it so important for  you to get into a married man's pants?"

"Charlotte, if I recall correctly, you were in love with Jack's younger brother. Why do you feel the need to keep your relations in the family?"

"Will everyone please just shut up?" Charlotte squealed. There was silence. She stormed out of the bar, flipping Jack and I off while she did. I turned to Jack and kissed him, while flashes went off all around us, cementing our story to take down Charlotte Clarke.
