Chap 35:

Dexter:

I know I'm a shitty person. This whole situation is my fault.

Everything. Amaya, Wila, Luke.

Maybe if I told someone about Wila than they would have done something and believed me.

I ruined Amaya and Luke. I'm an awful person, I mean even I wouldn't wanna be with me.

Amaya is so perfect and I'm the genetic fuckup. But its gonna be okay now. I've given Luke to Max temporarily while I deal with Wila.

"You sure fucked up with her, Dex. Listen you do realise that its not your fault though,"

I look up and glance at Mr Harrison, swirling his whiskey cup in his hand, shaking his head.

"Its not your fault. Apart from the whole Amaya thing but still....this is why you needed to heal instead of being in a relationship first,"

"I just....I really thought I could handle it all and balance it all at once,"

He came over and patted me on the back, leaning on the edge of his velvet red couches.

"Listen, Dex. We all fuck up and considering everything you've been through in these past few years its no surprise that you finally broke," He smiles ruefully and looks down at me.

"I'm honestly proud of you and how much you've come. But with all your pending emotions they just blasted out on Amaya and-"

"But what should I do?? I left Amaya and now I'm gonna have to text Wila saying-" I sigh, exhausted and put my head in my hands.

"Fuck off-"

"Yeah, right. As if its that easy-"

"No, I'm being serious Dex. I've dealt with her."

"Pfftt like what?"

"While you were coming over I sent people to her place and I gave evidence I'd been collecting to the police, who is a friend of mine-"

"Wait..wait wait wait!! What the fuck are you saying? Evidence? Police? What did you do?"

I stood up and tried to squash the small hope flickering inside of me.

"I know you told me that you didn't want this coming out but that women had it coming for a long time. I collected evidence of her illegal activities, those people who threatened Amaya, how she was embezzling funds from our company-"

"And you didn't tell me because..?!!"

"Because I wanted you to enjoy your life. I never knew that Wila would do something so disgusting as this. I've been collecting evidence for three years."

"So...whats gonna happen now?!" I pace around the room, fiddling with my cigarette.

Fuck, I can't hope yet. If I do than its gonna he like last time when I had hope and it all came crushing down.

"I have a friend who's a detective. Hes also been helping me build this case on the side-"

"Isn't that suspicious...?"

"Nah, don't worry. He owes me a few favours anyway," he shot me a smug smile and I roll my eyes.

Right, so by a few favours, he means hes blackmailing him.

"But what if you get caught-?"

"Dex, don't insult me like that. Wila is the most dumbest person playing this game. Its about time we made her stop thinking she's holding all the cards,"
