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*
