Chapter 51

I eventually picked up the phone when I got home. “Remi, what the hell was that?” “I told you I needed space. I thought you understood?” I asked nonchalantly. I'd learned from the best. “I–I… I did. But still, you should have picked up. What if I had something important to tell you?” “Did you?” “I could have!” He boomed. “That's the point. It could have been an emergency.” “Thankfully it wasn't,” I mumbled. “Yeah, this time.” I could picture his shaking his head disdainfully. “Anyway, what are you doing tomorrow? Let's get dinner in a special place. I'll send you the details.” He didn't give me a chance to respond as he immediately hung up. I chuckled. This damn clown never changed his game. I honestly couldn't blame him. I think back on my younger self and facepalm because how could I have fallen for this obvious scam? No. That was good. If he still thought I was that young dumb girl then this would be easy. Maybe I could even push the limits a bit. The next

Chapter 52

“I never doubted you for one second, sweetheart.”I rolled my eyes. Of course he would say that now.“I'm sure you didn't, dad,” I said.“I always knew you had that special something. You are my daughter after all. And to think this is your first act too.” He sounded so proud of me. To be frank, I was proud of myself. My first project was a huge success by this point.“I learned from the best.”He let out a howling laughter that brought a big smile to my face.“Give mom a kiss for me. I have to go.”“Before you go,” he said, sounding serious. “Know that the board is going to come knocking and bearing gifts. They are sycophants. Don't give them the time of day. Accept whatever they give you, complement and gifts, but don't let anything they say have any effect on you. Don't let their praise get to your head. Do you understand?”I found myself nodding before realizing I was on a call. “Yes, dad.”“Alright. Love you, sweetheart.”“Love you dad.”I was on my way to the office and in a gi

Chapter 53

“You need me to drive you home?” Jesse asked. I snapped out of my head and stared questioningly at him. “Why would I need that?” “You just look… never mind. I'm sure it's nothing. I'll file a police report anyway.” I remembered the trouble Debbie got in at my swearing in party. She got a bit too drunk and acted out. I'm not sure how long she was held or if any charges were filed but I didn't want to be one more reason for her to be miserable. She hated me enough already. “Is that necessary?” I asked. “We all know Debbie is a toothless dog. She's not going to do anything and–” “I understand that Remi. But this is your life were talking about. I think I would be best if we didn't take the chance. I'll file a police report. There usually isn't an investigation if that's what you're worried about. It'll just be on record.” I rolled my eyes. “Fine. I'm sure you'll just hate to love your amazing working relationship with me.” He stopped writing on his planner and glanced a

Chapter 54

The whole drive over, we didn't speak. But my heart was doing cartwheels.I'd thought I'd lost him after the scene with Oscar and Ashley but there I was, his passenger princess being driven to his house because he cared about me so much.“Do you have a spare wardrobe I can put my stuff in?”He quickly glanced over at me with a raised eyebrow.“I have a spare room that you'll be staying in. Ashley usually stays there but she's not around right now,” he said.My heart sank a bit and when I caught my reflection in the side view mirror, I was pouting.“What if she comes over?”“She won't,” he shot back. “And if she does, we'll figure it out.”The pout had turned into a frown.Walking into his house was still thrilling. Even more so because I knew we weren't going to just hop into bed.But nothing wrong with dropping subtle hints or wearing something that left little to the imagination. He opened a door and stood in the doorway. “Here the room.”I walked into it and bent all the way over

Chapter 55

His darting eyes zeroed in on me. “Go get your things we're leaving,” he barked. I just wished the ground would have swallowed me up right there and then. I glanced at Jesse and he had an eyebrow raised at me. “You called him here?” he asked calmly, but I could see the anger brewing beneath the surface. “No, I didn’t.” I shook my head profusely. “She did. I saw her talking to him,” Ashley yelled from behind Oscar. “I didn’t call you here,” I scolded Oscar. “You didn’t need to. I got your message loud and clear baby. You wanted me to show you that I care more. That’s why I’m here.” I felt like running away to hide somewhere. How the hell was I supposed to answer that? He said it as if we’d had a discussion and that was the conclusion. “I didn’t ask you to come here!” “But Remi–” he took a step towards me but Jesse stood in his path. “Since she didn’t tell you to come here, I'd suggest you leave,” Jesse said. “I’m not leaving without her,” Oscar growled. “Just

Chapter 56

“Wha–what?” I ran up to the police tape and ducked under it trying to get closer and see what the hell was happening. “Ma'am, this is a crime scene. Get ba–” “I live here,” I snapped to the police officer trying to get me out. He backed off and I got closer. The outside of my house was a charred, smoking mess. I couldn't believe my eyes. I had barely been at Jesse place for two hours. Would this have happened if I was home. I was filled with terror thinking about being trapped in the burning building. “Remi?” I heard my name being called but my eyes were fixed on my smoldering house, and my reactions were so slow. “Sweetheart, are you okay?” My dad's worried face materialized in front of my face. “Are you hurt?” He cupped my face and turned my head from side to side, supposedly to find any burns. “Dad, I'm fine,” I managed in my rattled state. “I was put when it happened.” “I came over as quickly as I could after Tristan called,” he said. “I… I thought I'd lost

Chapter 57

“Is that all you want?” Dad asked.“Yes.” I nodded. “The sight of him disgusts me. I'm surprised it was this easy to convince him to try and win me back.”Dad grinned and nodded his head as he mulled my words over. “Revenge huh? So many options. We could get him on the hook for counterfeiting; I know a guy. Or conspiracy against the state; he and his mother will be accomplices. Maybe terrorism charges; I also know a guy for this…”Mom and I watched in shock as dad casually prattled on about atrocious things we could set Oscar up with that would definitely get him thrown in jail with the key thrown away.“Dad, no,” I said. “I don't know what I'm going to do to him but I want to do it and I want him completely destroyed after.”“Remi!” mom exclaimed as her eyes darted to me. “Why don't you just let it go? You said his wife's ex threatened him. Leave him be and let karma keep doing its work.”“No!” Dad thundered, startling the both of us. “If she wants to shred him apart limb from limb,

Chapter 58

Rachel was on him like bees on an intruding hornet, kicking, scratching, punching him with everything she had.Oscar tried and failed to restrain her flurry of punches but eventually gave up and started to walk away.Each step he took, Rachel was right there, yelling right in his business, still with tears streaming down her face.“You good for nothing, piece of shit, low down asshole. I should have known. I should get my ex to deal with you. You know what he’ll do to you right? How could you do this to me,Oscar? Am I not good enough?”He pushed her off him, ran into his car and pulled off, all the while she was screaming and pounding her fists against his window until she couldn't anymore.It honestly was kind of sad to see her fall to her knees and break down. But she wanted him. She wanted him so much, she set her decency ablaze and kicked me, who had helped her get a job when she was down, out of my house.As sad as it was, she was only getting everything she paid for. And I was a

Chapter 59

“Don, they're talking about removing her,” Tristan said, clearly alarmed.I was sitting in dad's office next to Tristan. Sitting was too broad a term.I was shaking. I tried to get Tristan to not show up because I didn't want my dad to know but he had anyway.Dad appeared surprisingly calm after getting such news.“Can… can they do that?” I asked.Tristan shrugged his shoulders then glanced back at my dad. “Now would be a good time to say something.”Dad chuckled and leaned against his desk. “I'm surprised you're this worried, Tristan.”“Did you hear anything I said? They're talking about firing her.”Dad scoffed. “Let me guess, O’Hearn is leading the charge?”“Yes,” Tristan said. “Obviously it's him. But he's gaining traction. They might get swayed by him.”“And how many times has he gained traction? How many times did he try the same thing with me? You should have learned by now that he is a toothless dog.” He glanced at me and laughed. “You were getting all charged up just now, you

Chapter 60

I watched him waddle off to the boardroom before I continued to my office. Now was the time to act like my father.An idea popped in my head. I set a timer for fifteen minutes.They were going to hate me anyway, I figured I might as well give them a reason to. I sat back in my chair, arms clasped in front of my chair, visualizing toothless dogs barking at me, as I waited for the timer to run out.Suddenly, my door was forced open. My body moved on its own, diving off my chair to the floor with a resounding thud.“Oh, you're here? The board members are getting impatient.”I picked myself up from the floor, heart pounding, and glared at Jesse.“What the hell?”He came over to help me up.“Are you okay? What–”“What do you think? There's someone out there who actually wants me dead and you just barge in like that?”I snatched my arm from him once I got to my feet.“Sorry,” he said with a straight face.My heart was going at a million beats a minute. Good. Just what I needed for the meeti
