Family Now - Part II "Yes, asshole. Rojas." "Why are you with her?" "I'm here too shit face," Adil spoke up. "We're all here. Tell me why she would need to come home to your lying cheating ass when she's with her Mama and three new buds!" "You should hang up now," Beni said to Phineas. "Sunshine is looking paler than she was when I left her this morning." "You left her this morning? You spent the night with her?" Kyst screamed into the phone. Maeve reached out and pulled the phone from Phineas' hand. "Listen here, Kyst Kennedy. You are one statement away from me calling your mother and telling her how much of an embarrassment her son is. I treated you kindly and with love and respect from the first moment I ever met you you and you repaid that by fucking a skank in my daughter's bed. You don't get to demand fuck all from Juni, Kyst. If she wants to throw a god-damned orgy after what you did, you don't get to say shit. My Juni instead is sitting here with her heart broken because she lost her baby and her husband all on the same day." "Mama." "Don't you call me that ever again, Kyst. Not ever. You lost the 1/5 11:51 right to call me Mama when you betrayed my only child. These men with her right now are good men who are doing everything they can to fix what they feel is their involvement in exposing her to the truth of who you are. Your sordid accusations reek of guilt, Kyst. These men who don't know her at all, stepped up to the plate and helped her while you were too busy screwing another woman. They carried her when her legs were too weak. They held her when she was bleeding. They made sure she had a support system in place for when all this shit went down. Where were you Kyst when your wife was losing your baby? Oh, right, balls deep in a money-grubbing bitch." "Maeve, you're angry." "Damn right I'm angry Kyst. You know what? I think I will call your mother. I think she and your father need to have a refresher with you on morals and ethics. Call Juniper again, Kyst before she is ready to talk to you, and I'll march her myself down to the courthouse for a restraining order. The way her heart was shattered, I hope she never has to look at your fucking face again." "I can explain." "There is nothing to explain, Kyst. You already did all the explaining in the live stream of you complaining to your mistress how your wife wasn't giving you enough sex because she's trying to make you a father." Maeve sighed, "I'm hanging up now. Juniper needs to eat her lunch to regain her strength so she can move on without you in her life. She's not only 2/5 11:51 Family Now - Part II +2 Bonus mourning the loss of her baby, but the loss of her best friend, husband and partner. You're a disgrace Kyst." Maeve angrily hung up the phone and then dropped it on the coffee table. "I want to punch something." "Mama, I'm sorry." Juniper whispered from her spot on Phineas' lap. "For what?" her mother wheeled at her. "I don't think I've ever seen you angry before and it's me who brought this to our lives "" "Hey," her mother squatted down in front of her, "I am not angry with you. I am angry your husband has the morals of an alley cat, and I never noticed it before. I protected you all my life, sweet girl, and I feel I let you get blindsided." "This isn't on either of you," Phineas said as he reached out and squeezed Maeve's hand. "Some people are simply far better at hiding the truth than others. I maintain he's not playing with a full deck. Please do not meet with him unless you there is someone else with you." Juniper looked at her phone which was ringing again on the table and knew Phineas was right. Kyst wasn't himself but what scared her was how much she wondered whether the man she saw in the video yesterday was the real version of him and what it meant for everything she believed in. 3/5 11:51 She watched through teary eyes as Adil took her phone and opened it up and declined the caller. He then went one step further and blocked the number. He then went through her phone and blocked him on every social media platform application on Juniper's phone. "He has Beni's number," Adil said seriously. "If he wants to talk, he can call your lawyer. Your lawyer will relay the information back and you can decide what you want to do from there. At this moment however, you are not required to talk to him." "I don't know how to thank any of you. I'm not sure how I would get through this if I'd found out he was cheating on my own. I'd be trying to find a place to live. I'd be worried about finances and debts and trying to figure out a way to make things work. You've taken all the things which force a woman to be stuck in a relationship and removed those barriers. You've been supportive and kind and hell, Phineas has let me snot and cry all over his shirt and bleed all over his pants and not a single complaint. I heard you guys telling Kyst you were my champions now and I just want to say, I'm really grateful to have you in my corner." "Not just us," Phineas shook his head, "your Mama, my mama, my father really wants a piece of him after he saw the video clip, Beni's parents know about you, and I believe his mother gave him strict instruction to bring us all over for dinner on Saturday evening. Adil's parents are on a cruise ship, but he called them last night and they offered their help any possible way. They 4/5 11:51 own an island down south if you ever want to simply get away. They'll let you stay there, and they said so last night. Our families mean everything to us. It's why I gave into my grandfather's requests and honestly, I would do it again tomorrow if he asked me to because I trust him and I love him. She fooled everyone and I thought I was the odd man out because I couldn't like her as a person. It all came to light at the reception and the next morning and then over the last year when she quit her job to focus on being my wife, her words, but spent far more money a month than she made even when she was ridiculous. Yet, for all of it, if my grandfather working. It was row with another bridal proposition, and I came to me wasn't already married, I'd do it because he's family. Family is everything for us. You, Juniper, are now part of our family." 12 Write your comment ir Gifts 5/5 11:51
