New Home - Part II "You blew him, and he cheated?" Adil asked incredulously. "He's getting blow jobs or hand jobs on the daily and you're not having sex and he's the one cheating? Honey, this isn't on you. This is on him being a piece of shit." "Can we go in now? I think I need to lay down," she was over this conversation. All she wanted now was to go to bed. The cramping in her belly wasn't letting up. "Sure." Adil hopped out of the car and opened her door for her to help her up. The minute she stood, she felt the horrifying gush. She looked up in humiliation as she knew she'd surpassed the pads they'd given her at the clinic. She looked back to the car seat. "I think I bled on your seat." "You're bleeding everywhere," Phineas gasped as he rounded the vehicle and saw the mess of her dress pants. "I'm sorry," she whispered. "For what?" Phineas scooped her up by the knees and began briskly walking in the direction of the elevator with both men chasing after him hurriedly, "you're miscarrying and the nurse which gave us the instructions said you'd probably experience some heavy bleeding. We kept you chatting too long instead of getting you upstairs where you can get the rest your body 1/4 11:40 needs." "I can walk." "You can, but you won't," Phineas stepped into the elevator and Benicio pressed the button. "The top floor. You got me a condo on the top floor?" she was aghast as she noted the number of the floor he pressed. "I can't afford the property taxes on this place! Why did you get something so expensive?" "It's covered as part of the agreement. Property taxes for life," Phineas shrugged as he nodded at Benicio to get it done. "If you don't like it, sell it, find a place you really like." When he set her on the floor after Benicio opened one of only two doors in the entire wide hallway, she gasped loudly. As she stepped hesitantly into the wide-open space, which her other unit could fit into twice, she knew she'd never sell it. It was breathtaking and beautiful, and she gravitated to the wall of windows overlooking the city, the CN Tower off in the distance. She turned around and looked at the furniture and the way everything was set up and her heart squeezed at the thoughtfulness. "How?" she asked curiously as she walked back towards the main living area and saw how similarly it was decorated to the place she shared with Kyst and yet it was fresh and new with none of his touches on it. Whoever did the decorating knew which part was her and which wasn't. 2/4 11:40 "Yesterday when Adil was in your place, he snapped some pictures for us with his phone. I had an interior design company working here overnight to get this perfect for you. I wanted you to be in a place where you were able to cry comfortably," Phineas made a face. "Saying it out loud confirms Beni's thoughts of how much of a twat I am." Her cell phone rang, and she made a face at the number. "Looks like he's done with his morning romp." Adil looked at his watch. "Yes. She probably left about five minutes ago." He nodded at the phone, "are you going to answer it?" "Yes." "Do you want privacy?" Phineas asked quietly. "We can let you talk to him. As much as we really would prefer you wait until tomorrow, in light of the circumstances, I'd understand if you felt the need to tell him you know and you're not coming home." "No. I'm not telling him I know about the cheating. I'll let you guys do it tomorrow when you serve him my divorce papers. I don't want to hear him try to gaslight me again the way he did last night." She declined the call a few times as she stared at the trio who seemed confused by her statement. "Last night I could smell her perfume, and it made me throw up. He had the balls to tell it was the scent of a bathroom freshener from the office. Then he tried to tell me I was throwing up because of the stress 3/4 11:40 of trying to make this baby. If you'd not told me the truth," she looked at them, "I'd be thinking I was crazy for my reaction to him. He twisted things so easily and so quickly." "Asshole!" Benicio grunted furiously. "What are you going to tell him?" Phineas was confused. "We know you don't sleep apart. We did our homework." She knew their intel likely told them she never slept away from home ever. No business trips away. No weekends with the girls. Her best friend would occasionally spend the night in their guest room but usually, it was the two of them. She stayed home every night and slept next to her husband. If he traveled, she still stayed in his bed. "I didn't want to risk her knowing ahead of time but given the situation," he waved at her belly, "then I'm okay with you telling him whatever you need to. Truly, Juniper. Do what is best for you." 4/4 6 Write your comment Gifts 11:40
