Empire : A Journey Back to You

Confronting the Affair

Candace decided to stay silent at the dinner Cookie had. She would leave Carol and Nick alone for another time. Her marriage was in hot water and she needed to find out how long Kevin had been screwing his assistant Abigail. After putting Frankie to bed, she put her jewelry away and started to brush her hair. She counted to twenty in her head and tried to calmly find a way to approach Kevin about the situation.
Kevin: Babe I think the toy is really not that bad and I do understand your feelings-
Candace: How long Kevin?
Kevin: How long what?
Candace: How long have you been screwing Abigail.
Kevin: Excuse me.
Candace: I found the text message and you better think long and hard about the next thing that comes out of your mouth!
Kevin: Don't talk to me like that! Why are you even going through my phone?
Candace: Answer me!
Kevin: What you saw was Abigail being drunk and overstepping her boundaries.
Candace: Really so you talked to her about why she wanted to eat your D***!
Kevin: Nothing and I repeat nothing happened between me and Abigail. She was drunk and I did not respond to the text and I had an official meeting with her along with the company counselor.
Candace: Wow I feel so much better that you brought the nut job doctor into it to fix things!
Kevin: You know what over the past two years you have given me enough reason to cheat and leave but I don't because I love my son!!!!!!
Kevin released quickly after what had just come out of us mouth. Lately, Candace really pushed him to a place where it was damn where near impossible to have a loving relationship.
Candace: Then leave! Go to Abigail! You think I can't do this on my own!
Kevin: Stop please stop!
Candace: Don't! touch me. You need to get out!
Kevin: And go where?
Candace: I can't even look at you!
Kevin: Candace I am not screwing Abigail. Please don't make this anything more than what it is.
Candace: You probably was entertaining that hoe! You don't know me Kevin.
Kevin sighed and went to the guest room.

The following morning. She stood in her robe looking all natural having her green juice. Kevin knew that not telling her about the text messages were wrong and the fact that Abigail was still has assistant didn't make it any easier. He held her from behind.
Kevin: Babe we both said a lot of things last night but I swear nothing happened.
Candace. I have oats boiling on that stove if you don't take your hands off me your gonna get it. He quickly released her because if there was one thing his wife was a woman of her word.
Kevin: Candace. She turned around to face him.
Candace: I'm leaving you. I suggest you get a good lawyer because this situation doesn't look good on you.
Kevin: We aren't getting a divorce! Are you out of your mind!
Candace: You better not wake my child. Kevin turned red and grabbed his car keys.
When he left, she prepared Frankie for school and dropped him off.
Frankie: Bye mommy.
Candace: Have a good day. I love you. Frankie kissed her cheek and he walked into his class. Reversing out of the marking lot she made her way down to Kevin's Job. She couldn't stop thinking about the messages she saw and the vows that Kevin made to her to be faithful.
Reception: Mrs. Princeton here to see Mr. Princeton.
Candace: Actually I want to see Abigail where can I find her office.
Reception: Oh she has been moved to the second floor. Door 7.
Candace: Thank you. I love your sweater.
Reception: Thank you. The eighteen-year-old girl smiled. Candace always respected little girls who knew their place, but from day one she just had a vibe that Abigail wouldn't be able to resist Kevin's charm. No one could really resist Kevin which is why he was such a good business man and one of the reason why Candace loved him. He was just irresistible.
Candace busted open the door.
Abigail: Uh... Mrs. Princeton. Mr. P-
Candace: Don't say my Man's name. She locked the door.
Abigail: I don't understand.
Candace: Oh you don't understand. I saw the little text messages you sent. Give me a reason why I shouldn't whip your ass.
Abigail: I was drunk. I was already dealt with her this.
Candace: Really because I'm not satisfied with whatever BS they came up with!
Abigail: I understand but He-
Candace: Before I jump across this table let me make this very clear. Mr. Princeton is MY MAN. I am MRS. PRINCETON. Believe me sweety whatever you sent in those texts is only a small aspect of what he gets on the regular!
Abigail: I-
Candace: If you don't stay away from my man, I will hurt you in places you don't want to hurt! Are we clear??!?!?!!?!?
Abigail: Yes, ma'am.
Candace: Matter a fact you need a transfer.
Abigail: Actually I will be transferred next month I'm just waiting on the paper work.
Candace: Perfect. After Candace made her exit, Abigail ran to the bathroom and threw up. Candace tended to have that effect on people where they become sick to their stomachs.
Kevin: Candace. He had stopped her walking into the lobby and knew exactly why she was there.
Kevin: Candy. He followed her out to the parking lot grabbing her coat.
Candace: I told you not to touch me!
Kevin: What did you do?
Candace: What you think I wasn't gonna confront your little no booty stick shift girlfriend.
Kevin: That's very hood of you.
Candace: I keep it classy even when I address these hoes you lucky I didn't run up in here with sneakers and sweats.
Kevin: You came because your threatened.
Candace: What the f*** you just say to me!
She threw her purse on the passenger seat and glared at Kevin.
Kevin: You think that she had something that belongs to you. She didn't and she never will. I belong to you. Stop this!
Candace: You better not come home tonight. I sent your things to the spring hotel.
Kevin: Candace.
Candace: Get your lawyer ready! Turning on her BMW, she raved on the gas.
Kevin: Candace shut this car down right now and let's talk about this like adults!  She put the stick shift in drive and sped off.
Kevin: UGH!!!!! DAMN!!!!
