BY DEMARCO'S STANDARDS (Part 5)

Where To Go From Here

Today I was finally served paper's from Sam's lawyer. She really did it, she meant what she said. I hadn't spoke to her since she barged into our home covered in blood. That scared the hell out of me. I didn't know if she was hurt or what. It wasn't in Sam's nature to kill. She was my soft little cupcake or at least she use to be. I changed all that though in a blink of an eye. I honestly didn't want it to end this way. I never wanted to hurt Sam and not talking or seeing her bothers me more than I'd like to admit.

I wonder how she is. Is she doing okay? Does she need anything? Is she still hurting or has she gotton over me. Could she being seeing someone? Is Jax being her lean to guy? Damn so many questions and wonders.

I do know that she did kill someone. I saw the report's on the news and found his car in our parking garage. Without letting Ivy know I quickly disposed of the car to keep Sam safe. I didn't want Ivy to know because it would only start an argument. Since our split she has forbid me to have any contact with Sam. Ivy claims that Sam's drama will only interfere with my decisions as king and cause me to make mistakes. That's one thing about Ivy, she's a slave driver when it comes to me leading. She'd prefer I work all the time and take the world over in one day.

Ivy and I haven't attempted a serious relationship yet. She insists my divorce must be finalized before she pursues anything with me. Yes we have went out on several occasions and shared a few kisses, even some heated make out sessions but Ivy let me know she will remain a virgin until she's married.

Mom took it upon herself to find Ivy an apartment before I could. Oddly enough she placed her in Sam's mother's old apartment. That's another thing, mom hasn't broached the divorce with me. I feel like she's not happy with my decisions and must have plenty to say but has stayed out of it. That could only mean one thing... she side's with Sam.

I know my mom well enough to see she isn't too fond of Ivy. Every time Ivy snaps out orders to me my mom eye's her sternly but remains quiet. That worries me. Ivy doesn't know my mom and tends to push her buttons. This could very well end bad.

I was sitting at the table looking over the divorce paper's when Ivy strolled in. Bending down she wrapped her arm's around my neck and gave me a kiss. Resting her chin on my shoulder she looked down at the paper's. "What do you have here? She asked with interest.

"Divorce paper's". I mumbled.

Ivy snatched them up as she squealed. "Yesss... she did it. I didn't think she had it in her to be a strong woman and move on. Points for her".

As she read on she hissed. "Is she fucking crazy? She wants half of your holdings? What are we going to do about this Demarco?"

I stood up and wiggled my finger between us. "We aren't going to do anything. This is between Sam and I. She was a good wife to me and deserves something out of this failed marriage.".

Ivy scoffed. "You can't let her get away with this. Kill her Demarco or at least have one of your men do it. Your the king, act like it".

That just pushed my temper. "Shut the fuck up Ivy". I belted out. "No one and I do mean no one will harm Sam. Not me, not my men and defiantly not you. I'm going to settle this as civil as possible".

Ivy crossed her arm's obviously displeased with my choices. "You still love her don't you?" Ivy accused in a shrill voice.

"Fuck Ivy I can't just turn it off. Yes I do. I love you as well and I'm trying to work this out but you're not making it easy". I said.

"It's not my job to make it easy Demarco. "She defended herself. "It's my job as your future wife and queen to make sure you make the right decisions, to make you a strong well feared king but right now your not being that. Swallow your feelings and guilt and get the job done starting with Sam".

I remained silent after that. It was for the best. Ivy has never seen me snap so I honestly don't think she realizes what or who she's dealing with. I did know that I had to talk to Sam soon to try and convince her to call her plans off considering our divorce. Not that I wouldn't give her a divorce but to be more reasonable with the money. I was worried that Ivy would not do as I told her and hurt Sam.

I did know where Sam lived so later that evening I found myself sitting outside her apartment. I waited to nearly ten before she pulled up. At first I didn't know it was her because she obviously got a new car. She stepped from a very nice white range rover. I took her in for a moment having forgot how beautiful she was but something was different about her. She looked happy and carefree. Her body was on fire and her entire style had changed. No longer did she dress for comfort but was dressed in sex appeal. A tight pair of black leather pants hugged her hips to perfection showing off her plump ass. A backless, shimmery blouse graced her upper body and paraded off her perfect tits. Stilettos adorned her dainty feet. Not only the clothing had changed though. Her hair was lighter as if she had dyed it and her pale skin was sunkissed. A smile was etched onto her face and she looked genuinely happy. That's when it hit me... she's fucking somebody. A instant image of Jax popped into my mind and I gripped the wheel tightly.

I don't even recall stepping from the car but some time or another I did. Walking up behind her bouncy ass I gripped her arm and whirled her around. "Demarco". She said surprised.

"The fucks all this?" I asked eyeing her body and clothing.

"Ummm...last I checked it was called clothes Demarco. Now let my arm go and leave". She said calmly. Almost too calmly.

"Who you fucking?" I growled.

"Excuse me?" Sam hissed. "Nothing I do is any of your business. Besides shouldn't you be back at your place with your girlfriend"?

"I swear girl you better not be screwing Jax". I threatened.

Sam let loose a cackling laugh. "Rest assured Defucko it's not Jax, but yes there is someone. He's amazing and so good to me".

Through gritted teeth I said. "Stop Sam because I'm close to smacking you".

"Ha! I'd like to see you try. Remember you set me free. I can do who or whatever I want. I'm not your concern. You. Lost. Me." She said with delight.

This hurt like hell knowing she was with someone else but who? True I had no right in her life right now but I realized I missed her. I pulled her a bit closer. "Cupcake why don't we sneak off somewhere and you let me get a little bit of that?"

Sam gave me a eat shit look. "What's a matter, your girlfriend not putting out or is she just that bad? You'll never have me in any manner as long as I live. I'll admit it hurt like hell what you did to me. I even stooped low enough to hate you but I'm over you now Demarco. There's nothing you could ever offer me. I met someone and he's my world".

"That was quick Sam". I said.

"No quicker than you falling for someone else. Now I've got to go". She said walking off.

"Wait Sam". I jogged after her. "The divorce stipulations. Can we discuss that".

"No." She said firmly. "If you have any questions contact my lawyer".

"Why". I asked.

Shrugging her shoulders she said. "Why not".

"Sam please hear me out. Ivy wants me to ki.." I was stopped by her holding her hand up.

"Stop right there Demarco. I don't care to hear anything about her. She doesn't exist to me just like you don't exist to me anymore. Once this is over with I will be moving back down south where a new life awaits me".

"Is that where the fuck your fucking is at?" I drilled her.

She simply smiled and blew me a kiss. "See ya in court buddy".

Just like that she vanished into her building. I smiled at all this new sassiness she had found but it vanished as it sank in... I'd lost my cupcake.
