THE CO - WIVES

CHAPTER 19

James's POV

The drive to the police station seemed to be longer than expected. The traffic was heavy but I managed to cruise through it.
The OCS wasn't in but the officer at the OB showed me where to sit as he went to bring Diana.
"What are  you doing here James? Let me guess.... Mmmh... your sweet little munchkin has put you off! Uh? She has refused to listen to you!? I knew as much. I was expecting you...."
The little bitch had no shame! I blamed it on poor upbringing.
"Shut the f*** up Diana! I knew from the beginning that you liked me! With the way you threw yourself at me, did you think I was gonna like you? Hell no! I loathed you. And I will make sure you rot in prison! Slut!"
I couldn't imagine I was the one spiting all that venom.
"That's the worst you can do but trust me, someone else in the office is watching you on my behalf...."
I was seething with anger. I pounced on her and held her by the throat. I was struggling her.... She was losing her breathe.
"Let go off me.... Officer, he is killing me!"
She shouted.
I let go off her after throwing her a murderous look.
"Now little bitch, tell me, who are you coordinating with in my company? Tell me now!"
I was losing my cool.
"That's for you to find out. As for Jackie, am not done with her yet. I will haunt her till she commits suicide. Trust me. No one messes with my property and goes Scott free. As for Jeff, he can rot in hell because he will be dying soonest...."
This Diana girl was something else.
I had undermined her potential.
I should have became wary of her that day she stripped naked in my office. I really didn't know this bitchy side of her.
"Now, tell me what you told Jackie about me, for her to spite me that much!"
I growled.
"Nothing much, but trust me, she won't be looking your way any time soon!"
"Tell me you bi....."
The cop appeared and told me my time was over.
I Rose from the seat as Diana was escorted to her cell. She threw me one last glance and winked at me.
"See you around.... Sir"
I sighed heavily as I drove towards my Mansion. Who is this other person whom they worked together to see me down?
I wondered!
I wasn't ready to face Jackie again because I knew whatever she had been told had done enough damage into her heart and mind. I promised to let her heal before I revisit the topic.
Back in the mansion, I drowned a half full bottle of whisky and I slept heavily like a baby.
Joyce had called me severally but I didn't answer. She knew better than disturb me when I was angry.
I used to check up on Jackie through her mum. I knew her progress till she was discharged and went home. I had hired a private detective to investigate and come up with whoever was coordinating with Diana to put me down. I also hired someone to follow Jackline everywhere to make sure she was ever safe. I wasn't ready to lose her despite the fact that she hated me, for no apparent reason.
Joyce and I had a lengthy conversation. I tried to ask her why she played Me with Jeff and she was remorseful.
"Sweetheart, I told you to take Jackie as your second wife. I will never other you. As long as you are there for the kids, I have no problem with that. I know I messed big time but I am not going to sign those divorce papers! Hell no! Just marry Jackie, you have all my support James!"
I was surprised to hear that from her.
"Marrying her won't be possible... She hates me with passion. I don't know whatever crap Diana fed her with!"
I lamented.
"Don't worry dear, I have a plan and am sure it will work!"
Joyce told her what she had in mind and for once since she cheated on me, I saw my companion, the wife I married. But don't get me twisted.... I wasn't gonna give up on Jackie...
NEVER!
I decided to go by her idea. There was no harm in trying.
After the trial, which I refused to attend due to my own reasons, I told the HR to call her to report back to work.
I wanted to surprise her therefore I planned to pick her from her house.
But that proved to be the worst idea ever. I should have just waited for her in the office. She left me there stranded... Looking like a fool!
Poor me!
Would you blame me for being stupidly in love? Would you!??
But a surprise was awaiting her in the office, all thanks to Joyce!
