Marriage Of Convenience
Chapter 1
Natalia Jose García/Arriaga (fl)
(This was probably what would be called a soap opera moment)
She was standing in a ladies restroom … wearing a bridal gown … being
smirked at by a woman who coveted her husband … while her ex-boyfriend
and the local Police Officer argued a few feet away.
Natalia Jose García/Arriaga (fl)
( After all, it wasn’t every day that you legally bound yourself
to an old fling as part of a fallback marriage promise)
Natalia Jose García/Arriaga (fl)
*look at the girl beside her*
Natalia Jose García/Arriaga (fl)
We’ll talk again soon
Linn Jones
*smirk* I’d prefer to
stay.
Linn Jones
This looks like it might be fun.
Natalia Jose García/Arriaga (fl)
(God, I needed to cut that bitch up at some point)
one police officer were standing still looked on, seeming intent on not
getting involved—well, most cops swerved getting on her husband’s bad
side, and this little scene would sure piss him off.
Because He don't leave anyone if he/she even try to mess with his wife
Welles Mathew (ml uncle)
I’m only here to ask her some questions, Alan
Welles Mathew (ml uncle)
She doesn’t need a lawyer
present.
Welles Mathew (ml uncle)
And if she did, you wouldn’t be able to act as one for her—
Welles Mathew (ml uncle)
It would
be a conflict of interests, given your past history.
Alan Demeth (fl ex)
I’m not leaving
Welles Mathew (ml uncle)
Has it occurred to
you that she might not want you here?
Welles Mathew (ml uncle)
I have to say taking into account the
way everything played out between you two
Welles Mathew (ml uncle)
I wouldn’t blame her if she
didn’t.
Alan Demeth (fl ex)
If you’re trying to manipulate Natalia into demanding I leave
Alan Demeth (fl ex)
It won’t work.
Alan Demeth (fl ex)
She knows better than to talk without legal representation present.
Welles Mathew (ml uncle)
As I said before, she doesn’t need it—
Welles Mathew (ml uncle)
I just mean to ask her a few
questions.
Alan Demeth (fl ex)
Go ahead
Alan Demeth (fl ex)
But I’ll be right here while you do.
Welles Mathew (ml uncle)
*gaze narrowed* How do you think my niece will feel when she hears you rallied to the defense of a woman she hates?
Welles Mathew (ml uncle)
Do Carlee’s
feelings matter to you at all?
Alan Demeth (fl ex)
You won’t guilt-trip me into walking out of here.
Welles Mathew (ml uncle)
You turned your back on Natalia once before.
Welles Mathew (ml uncle)
What’s the
difference?
Natalia Jose García/Arriaga (fl)
(Oh, low blow. Accurate though)
Welles Mathew (ml uncle)
Who is it you’re really protecting I wonder?
Welles Mathew (ml uncle)
Her, or
Jose Miguel García?
Welles Mathew (ml uncle)
Are you worried she’ll spill something about your old buddy
that will put him in prison where he belongs?
Alan Demeth (fl ex)
*eyes flicked* You
don’t know that Jose has anything to do with that.
Welles Mathew (ml uncle)
It has his name written all over it.
Welles Mathew (ml uncle)
*pulled a picture* Tell me, Mrs. Gracía, how would you feel if someone had done
that to one of your loved ones?
Welles Mathew (ml uncle)
How do you think his family feels?
Natalia Jose García/Arriaga (fl)
My husband has nothing to do with it ❄
Welles Mathew (ml uncle)
Do you really believe your husband should be allowed to get away
with that?
Natalia Jose García/Arriaga (fl)
(What I believed was that the guy had brought this on himself)
Natalia Jose García/Arriaga (fl)
Did the victim finger Jose as the culprit?
Welles Mathew (ml uncle)
*face tightened* No.
Welles Mathew (ml uncle)
He
claims he remembers nothing.
Welles Mathew (ml uncle)
But it’s fear keeping him silent.
Welles Mathew (ml uncle)
Is that what’s keeping you silent?
Welles Mathew (ml uncle)
Or do you just not care?
Natalia Jose García/Arriaga (fl)
*blank expression*😐
Welles Mathew (ml uncle)
Obstructing justice is a serious crime, you know
Alan Demeth (fl ex)
So is wasting police time
Alan Demeth (fl ex)
That is essentially
what you’re—
the door swung open with a squeak of
hinges.
A tall, suited-up figure loped inside.
Natalia Jose García/Arriaga (fl)
(my husband)
Jose Miguel García (ml)
*eyes glittering with anger*
Chapter 2
Jose Miguel García (ml)
Want to tell me why you’re
harassing my wife? ❄
A deadly note in his voice
Welles Mathew (ml uncle)
*straightened his shoulders* Questioning her over
a crime doesn’t count as harassment.
Welles Mathew (ml uncle)
If you didn’t personally do this, you had
one of your people do it
Welles Mathew (ml uncle)
Either way, you’re responsible.
Alan Demeth (fl ex)
You said yourself that the victim named
no one.
Alan Demeth (fl ex)
You have no proof that Mr.Grac—
Welles Mathew (ml uncle)
I don’t need proof This reeks of Jose.
Welles Mathew (ml uncle)
He
wanted revenge and he took it.
Welles Mathew (ml uncle)
Didn't he caused the accident in which your wife got hurt?
Welles Mathew (ml uncle)
That’s his pattern.
Jose Miguel García (ml)
*looked at other police officer*
Jose Miguel García (ml)
You can leave now❄
Welles Mathew (ml uncle)
You can’t throw me
out.
Welles Mathew (ml uncle)
I’m not done questioning—
Jose Miguel García (ml)
If this was about merely investigating a police matter❄
Jose Miguel García (ml)
You wouldn’t
have sought Natalia out here at an event she’s managing❄❄
Jose Miguel García (ml)
This is you using your authority to yank her
chain and cause issues for her company❄❄
Jose Miguel García (ml)
Simple and I won’t tolerate it❄❄
Welles Mathew (ml uncle)
You’re not above the law, Gracía you are
—
Jose Miguel García (ml)
Rapidly losing my patience with you❄
Jose Miguel García (ml)
You really don’t want me to push me further❄❄
Jose Miguel García (ml)
Not unless you want certain things about you to come to light❄❄
Jose Miguel García (ml)
Your wife might be interested in hearing that your Saturday poker nights aren’t really poker
nights at all❄❄
Jose Miguel García (ml)
Though some ‘poking’ is involved❄❄
Welles Mathew (ml uncle)
*flushed*
Natalia Jose García/Arriaga (fl)
*smirk*
Natalia Jose García/Arriaga (fl)
(He should have
expected that Jo who made a point of sniffing out the secrets of his adversaries would have something on him😏)
Jose Miguel García (ml)
You’re still here❄❄
Jose Miguel García (ml)
I’m struggling to understand why❄❄
Jose Miguel García (ml)
Maybe you’d prefer it if I made a call to your wife here and now❄❄
Welles Mathew (ml uncle)
This isn’t over😡
Jose Miguel García (ml)
Then your marriage soon will be❄❄
Welles Mathew (ml uncle)
*stormed out*
Alan Demeth (fl ex)
*turned to Linn* Come
on let’s go.
Ignoring him she nervously licked her lips
Linn Jones
I
know about the promise
Jose Miguel García (ml)
*bored tone* Do you❄
Jose made his way to Natalia his eyes roaming over her face.
Jose Miguel García (ml)
Are
you all right?😟
Natalia Jose García/Arriaga (fl)
*Removed her headset*
Natalia Jose García/Arriaga (fl)
Yeah. Just annoyed.
Linn Jones
I have no idea why you acted all secretive instead of just telling me
about the promise
Linn Jones
We’re friends Practically family.
Natalia Jose García/Arriaga (fl)
😒
Natalia Jose García/Arriaga (fl)
(If circumstances were different Jo might have one day
been her brother-in-law)
Natalia Jose García/Arriaga (fl)
(but she did not think of him as family)
Natalia Jose García/Arriaga (fl)
(We all knew it)
Alan Demeth (fl ex)
it’s time to go😡
Again she completely ignored him.
Linn Jones
You’ve done some crazy stuff Jose
Linn Jones
but marrying
a woman you basically put on reserve?
Jose Miguel García (ml)
*eyes darkened*
Jose Miguel García (ml)
What’s wacked is
that you would dare come here❄
Jose Miguel García (ml)
You know you’re supposed to stay away
from Natalia❄
Jose Miguel García (ml)
Yet, here you are❄
Linn Jones
*rolled her eyes* So she got her boo-boos hurt by what I said
last time we talked🙄
Linn Jones
It ain’t a huge deal
Natalia Jose García/Arriaga (fl)
(Uh, like what she’d said was nothing?)
Natalia Jose García/Arriaga (fl)
(Unreal😒)
Chapter 3
Natalia Jose García/Arriaga (fl)
(Uh, like what she’d said was nothing?)
Natalia Jose García/Arriaga (fl)
(unreal😒)
Jose Miguel García (ml)
Don’t try to trivialize what you did❄
The words
were quiet. Deep. Dripping with anger.
Jose Miguel García (ml)
The things you said might have
f@cked up my marriage❄❄
Linn Jones
This isn’t a marriage
Linn Jones
You made a promise you stuck to
it.
Linn Jones
I should have guessed it was
something like that, really.
Linn Jones
An emotionless union would of course suit you
just fine😏
Alan Demeth (fl ex)
*plea in his eyes* Don’t do this.
Alan Demeth (fl ex)
Let’s you
and me just walk on out of here.
Linn Jones
Why should I have to
stay quiet?
Linn Jones
Why would you want to leave when we both know you hate this
situation as much as I do?
Linn Jones
You’d take her back in a f@cking heartbeat if—
Jose Miguel García (ml)
Enough😡❄❄
Jose Miguel García (ml)
Out. Both of you❄❄
Jose Miguel García (ml)
I don’t want to hear it❄❄
Jose Miguel García (ml)
I’m not interested in hearing what you have to say about anything❄❄
Jose Miguel García (ml)
I have officially hit my limit where
you’re concerned❄❄
Jose Miguel García (ml)
And I want you gone from my life❄❄
Linn Jones
You don’t mean that😧
Jose Miguel García (ml)
I gave you chances Too many❄❄
Jose Miguel García (ml)
It was my mistake❄❄
Jose Miguel García (ml)
And you’ve been
making Natalia pay for that❄❄
Jose Miguel García (ml)
No more❄❄
Jose Miguel García (ml)
I’m done with you❄❄
Linn Jones
How can you
say that to me?😨
Jose Miguel García (ml)
Very easily❄❄
Jose Miguel García (ml)
You made it easy when you started fucking with my
wife❄❄
Linn Jones
Like that ring she wears means anything
Linn Jones
She’s nothing to you but a backup plan
Jose Miguel García (ml)
That’s where you’re wrong❄❄
