Semua Bab Billionaire Ex, Divorce It!: Bab 91 - Bab 100

*RIO*Walking into Lena’s room, seeing and hearing her in so much distress, was not easy for me. How Arturo was comforting did little to ease my own need to comfort her, but knowing she has a good man to support her now was a huge bonus, though as a Dad, I want to be doing that. Dante was never any good for her, the wrong sort of man that she needed, but I can not say a thing about that. If you start telling your children you don't like someone, or they are not good enough for you, then you are asking for trouble with that child. They have to go down that road themselves, and you have to hope you are around to pick up the pieces if the child lets you.Arturo was not going to let go of her from his lap long enough for me to pull her into my arms for a warm hug that I so wanted to do, so I had to settle for a smaller one, and a kiss was all he would allow, before he pulled her back to him, making her almost part of him or so it seemed, he was in too much of a shock himself, she must hav

*ARTURO*Mum and Dad assured me it was best to stay in the kitchen away from the questioning for a couple of reasons; one was because I would want to go and serve justice myself, and I agreed I might do something stupid like that. Two, because of how upset I might get, they were concerned that it might stop her from answering if I got emotional while they were questioning her.Too afraid to upset me further.Both reasons sounded good, but I was still having trouble standing there trying to talk to Mum and Dad, trying to make it not seem like I would prefer to be in the other room and to try and pretend as if that was not happening in the other room.“Son, how about we see if Rio is okay with us smuggling her out of here and to our den for sports day? Maybe a day away from here would be good for her.”Mom suggested. I think this was just as hard on her as it was for me.Working with battered women, she has seen some bad things, and though this is different in some ways, it is the same to

*DANTE*A loud, constant knocking was happening on our front door at ten o'clock at night. We were all getting ready for bed.“I will get it,”I called out as I passed near the front door, checking that everything was locked up, a silly habit I started when I was young. I thought whoever was knocking was known by the gate guard, or they would never have made it past the gate.I opened the door. Several police officers were standing on the porch, staring at me as I opened it up. I was a little shocked to see them, but hopefully, I kept my face calm.“Can I help you?”I asked, feeling lead hit the bottom of my stomach at the sight of them. I was given more time to get the information they needed. Are they here to take me away?“Are Marissa and Mona Gordon home”The policewoman looked at her clipboard in his hand and then back up at me expectantly.“Sure, come on in, and I will call them down.”I was

*RIO*Just as my day was ending, Pam came to my office. She was beautiful and kind. More than once since we had met, during these cases, she had been there for me when I was falling to pieces because of Lena and what she had gone through.Pam and I had dinner at her place, and we talked late into the night. She helped me through some rough patches there. We have not yet stepped into a relationship, but if she is willing, we could look at something soon. I had needs, and she would have been interested if I had read the hints correctly.“Hi Pam, what brings you to my office?' I asked, keeping this safe office etiquette. I do not need to be the talk of the office.“I assumed that you already knew of the arrests.”I nodded at her and waited for what she had to say.“Would you like company when you go to tell Lena?”She blushed when she said this; I took that as another hint. Would I like her company? I think she had tried to

*ARTURO*My day has been disappointing so far. One of the doctors was not going to make it in this field of surgery, and I had to take over from him in the middle of an operation. That is part of my teaching job, but taking over for someone else during the operation was not a good feeling. He just froze in the middle of the operation when the man's blood pressure dropped quickly. The poor lad had to stand and watch as I took over and gave instructions. Luckily, the patient was okay. Well, as good as can be expected. I spoke with Gustavo, and he agreed that he was struggling and would suggest another field of medicine. It is sad when you can see someone trying so hard but does not have the ability.When I walked into the area where I live with Lena at the moment, I could smell vanilla and lavender, it was so calming. I followed the sound of soft music to the area where we slept, and there on the bed in a bright red outfit where Lena lay. She was reading a book and looked up at me over
