Chapter 5.
His words hurt as nothing before.
I am a tiger when it comes to my children. No jokes on this matter.
- Me as a mother has the right to get the custody over you.
- You should ask Mike about this. - as he said this he left the office.
I was shaking so bad and lost my mind.
My kids are my life. No one can take them away from me.
I cried there for hours and then texted Mike that I want to see him as soon as possible.
He text me back a few minutes later:
‘I know what’s going on and please do not be upset, we will sort thigs out. How about luch at Harold’s at 12:30?’
‘Perfect. See you there at 12:30’
I didn’t know who to believe but I had to start somewhere.
I went home to get myself together as I was crying and sweating a lot.
After a shower, a hairdo and a fresh makeup I felt myself way more energetic.
I forgot to eat all day so I was so hungry by noon.
When I arrived at Harold’s parking lot I’ve seen Mike’s car.
I went in and searched for him as the waitress les me to a private room.
Actually in a normal situation it would be weird but I wanted privacy.
- Here you are. Sorry for the private room but I was not sure your current state and also a lot of people know you from IG and as the photos leaked out it is not smart to give them a chance to bully…
- Wait. Did you say the photos leaked out?! You mean the AI stuff?!!
- Öhm…well I was sure you know about the posts.
As I opened my phone I have noticed that I had a brunch of missed calls, imessages, messengers and as I’ve clicked on IG I got a shock. 3 famous online gossip magazin publiced those photos of me and a random guy kissing.
I’ve recieved a lot of comments like ‘those snob rich can not entertain themselves so they have to make trouble’ and ‘what a whore she just posted a few days ago from Bali that she is so thankful for her family and how she loves her husband… what a liar whore… poor hubby’ and ‘she doesn’t deserve to have such a nice husband… guess how she got that nice house, luxury car, holidays etc. She must be cheating for many years’
- Sh*t…. I had no affinity for my social sites in the past few days so I had no idea.
Tell me what shall I do to stop this nightmare Mike?! I know you betrayed me so I can not trust you anymore. I have no one to trust. I lost my husband, my friend, Barb, you, and also many followers for a fake reason.
- I know I am Jamie’s friend but trust me I have never told him to do this! He came to me last night that you have made things clear and that he knows I have helped you out and I was a foolish to believed him.
- Oh no Mike that’s an old trick… you are saying
calmly that you know everything so the other party admit it all. You are a lawyer don’t you know these tricks?!
- Alice I am a lawyer but in this situation I am Jamie’s friend. I had no idea he can go so far. He was an insane yesterday and do you know what he wants is …
- To take the custody over… I know and it makes me sick. I can’t eat or sleep for days and now it is
worse and worse. Tell me what to do?! If you are planning to play games I am telling you…
- Ssshhhss! First calm down and do not cry.
You are the mother of your kids so do not be worry, he can not take the custody away. He just wants to make you upset and things hard for you.
Slowly I stop crying and calmed down. Mike gave me a hug which I really needed for.
- Do not be afraid I’ll help you out of this. Also, Jamie is not that person who he used to be so whatever he told you, don’t trust him.
- He is cheating on me for almost 7 years.
- What?! Why do you think that?
- He just told me.
- No way he never told me this before. I knew about Barbara for a few months
(this point he probably noticed my facial expressions because he continoued as:)
but you can’t blame me to not telling you as I supposed to keep my friend’s secret. I am really sorry honestly!
Okay I believed him this time and it was my turn to hug him. It felt somehow safe and calm. I was happy to meet him.
We had our lunch than I have returned to the head office at Lyss.
I’ve grab the necessary documents and I was about to leave when my phone started to ring on Mike’s tone.
- What’s up?
- Oh God you haven’t seen yet?! Come to my office right now!
- What’s wrong?
- Just hurry up! - then he hung up the phone
What the hell is going on again? Or rather say ‘still?’
I step in his office than saw us on the laptop screen: hugging emotionally at his office. The photos obvoiously have been taken at the lunch that day.
- Mike I am so disappointed! You just makeing a game out of my suffer. You are the same as Jamie. Fu*k off!
- Pardon, watch your tone. One insane friend is enough! Do you think I knew about this?! What good would come of this for me?
You better know from me that Jamie planned this without us knowing his mean game…
- So you are telling me that he already post this on all social platforms?
- Unfortunately.
- I must make an official announcement in a reels video tomorrow.
- Would you like me to join?
- Are you serious? Would you do that? - I was so happy and started to get hope again.
- Of course no problem.
A jumped into his arms and recieved a cozy hug and I didn’t even care about the potential photographer under the window.
I am planning in two more chapters for free before I start my private - just for coffee givers - session.
I hope you enjoy the story. The soicy parts are coming tomorrow xoxo.
