*Tom*
Fuck, I need a vacation. This has to be the most exhausting day of my life. First going with Zac to the doctor for a drug test. Then taking him to Ben's room and get him to sleep, because I found out pretty fast that he was not himself yet. And I didn't want that bitch to get to him, so with Holly in my room, I put him with Ben. He had a hard time going back to sleep, driving Ben to were he asked if he could please just knock him out.

Then back to Holly, explaining what had happened and telling her how sorry I was to have been away for so long. She was of course all sweet and understanding. I really need to figure out what to do with her, because she can't go back.

And now I have just been by the doctors office, and as we thought he had been drugged. Zac tested positive for ketamine and coke. Apparently she had given him ketamine to make him controllable and the coke to, well wake him up. Shit now I get why he looked more dead than alive.

I am currently on my way to talk to that bitch, thinking that if we can use the drug test to pressure her into asking for an annulment too it will go much easier. I just hope I can stop myself from punching her. I know, it's not okay to hit a woman, but damn if any woman ever deserved it, it has to be this one.

"We need to talk". I say, as I slam the door to the room she is cleaning behind me, making her jump slightly.

She glares at me. "Well, I don't want to talk to you. You wanted to come between me and Zac. But now he is my husband so fuck off".

"Oh believe me he won't be for long, we have proof you fucking drugged him. You could have killed him for christ sake. We are getting an annulment, and you are going to ask for one too or we press charges for the drugs". I hiss at her.

She has the audacity to laugh. "Oh, but you have not proof I gave him anything. I on the other hand has plenty of proof that he did a hell of a lot of coke all on his own. Hmm what do you think his fans will think of that ?"

"What are you talking about ?" I trust Zac, if he says he didn't do any drugs I believe him. Also he never struck me as someone who would do drugs.

She pulls out her phone holding it up, a video playing, and there is no doubt, there is Zac, snorting lines of coke of this whores naked body. But I am not stupid. I can see how disconnected he seems, his eyes totally glazed. The bitch is not stupid, she doped him up with alcohol and ketamine and then made him do the coke, just to have this on him. This is the stuff that could ruin him. "What do you want ? Because I know Zac isn't what you really want".

"Oh you really are the smart one". She muses. "I want 200 grand for the pictures and video and another 100 to ask for the annulment".

"You want 300 thousand dollars ? Are you insane ?" I mean does she think he has that kind of money laying around ?

She just smile. "It would cost him more to get a divorce and be a hell of a lot more messy. So 300 in cash or I will get my money selling that nice video".

"I need to go talk to Zac. I don't know if he can get that kind of cash". I tell her, backing towards the door. Damn I would like to punch her.

"Well he better have a way to get it". She smirks as I hurry out the room and back to Ben's room. Well maybe if we all put our cash together.

I walk into Ben's room, finding Zac sitting on the edge of the bed, rubbing his head, looking more like himself. "So I got bad news, good news and really bad news".

"Well I have an idea about some of them, my memory is starting to get back". He looks in both physical and psychic pain.

Well might as well start from an end. "She did drug you, ketamine.. But sorry to say, the coke you did yourself in your haze, of her naked body and on camera. But she is willing to give you the evidence and seek annulment if she gets 300 grand cash. I thought if we all put some in we could raise it".

"Not needed, and sorry I kind of lied. I truly didn't remember taking the coke, I unfortunately do now. All I can say is that I simply had no connection to my body. I remember not wanting to but my body just did it, like I had no control". He says shaking his head.

I am feeling a bit confused. "Not needed ? Are you not going to pay her ? Zac those pictures will ruin you. And the other thing, let's forget it, I've seen the video I know you weren't yourself".

"Of course I am going to pay her, I just want her gone. It was the raising the money that isn't necessary". He says taking the water bottle and painkillers Ben is handing him. "Thanks Ben. Top drawer in my bathroom Tom".

I don't ask, I just accept his key card and go two doors down to his room. Going to the bathroom and opening the drawer like I expect a snake to jump out. What the fuck !

"Zac, please tell me you didn't rob a bank or something equally stupid". I say, not really feeling hopeful, as I walk back into Ben's room.

He rolls his eyes at me. "I kind of couldn't sleep last night, I guess coke will do that to you. So after my dear wife passed out, I might have gone to the casino, turns out I am a phenomenal poker player totally coked out of my mind".

"Zac how much money is in that drawer ? It looked like a lot.. and I mean liked robbed a bank a lot. What did you play". This is insane.

He shrugs. "Only played one game texas holdem, no limits with a couple of very very rich arab princes. There should be around 473 big ones, so she can have her 300 from there".

I just want to shake him, but at the same time I can't stop laughing. "Zac you bloody wanker, are you telling me you got close to half a million dollars in a fucking bathroom drawer ?"

"Yeah, the safe was full so.. well I needed somewhere to put it and that drawer was empty. Also I might not have been thinking really straight then". He says rubbing his eyes.
