I'm Not Going to let this Go Chapter 28 Analise's POV Things worked out even better than I had hoped . Roger wasn't stupid . I watched as he realized that his wife , mother , and sister had colluded together . He loved his company more than anything else , even his parents . I knew , but apparently they didn't . Or at least they didn't care enough to keep from publicly embarrassing him . He was furious with them . I knew he was planning on coming down to the station to bail me out , but I didn't need him or his help anymore . I didn't know they would be going quite this far , or this quickly , but I knew they were going to pay me back . I embarrassed them last night because they didn't get to enter the auction . Forcing Roger to choose who would enter with him . They couldn't get mad at him ; he's the Golden Boy . That forced them to take their anger out on me . I was surprised by how quickly my security team reacted . They did well , as they tried to protect me from view as I was escorted to the police cruiser . " I have a feeling that you were prepared for her to show up . You didn't act surprised , " one of the officers remarked . " His mother has always hated me . She wanted her son to reach great heights . She didn't want him to marry me . It's fine . This is just a small issue . What's coming to them soon will be a surprise I'll be happy to deliver to him and his family , " I replied , and shifted to make myself more comfortable . Being handcuffed was extremely uncomfortable . They were respectful , and no one spoke again until they assisted me out of the cruiser . I asked if I could put my slippers back on for my mug shot after I had the cuffs taken off . They allowed me to do so , probably for an accurate height , but I was relieved nonetheless . I didn't want to keep wearing the heels . Christine was already there , along with Gwen . They looked relieved when they finally saw me . I saw my bodyguards already out there , waiting for me . Charlie winked at me when I noticed them sitting there . He was a flirt , but it helped to calm me down . After what just happened , I trusted them both much more . They had been quick to help protect me . Even if Roger managed to suppress the news on TV and social media , it still had an impact . I would still have proof because my bodyguards had recorded my arrest . I knew that Rodney knew what to do . He was pacing while speaking into his phone . He was a great attorney . According to the clock on the wall , it was a little after three - thirty . I was starving , as I hadn't eaten in almost twenty - four hours now . I couldn't wait to get this over with and get out of here . I saw a movement and looked over to see Roger standing there near my bodyguards . He looked worried . I don't know if he was worried for me or his mother . But I didn't need it . The only thing I was worried . about was my parents and brother finding out about me being on the news . They were going to be very upset . Thankfully , my real name wasn't being used , but if it got out , there would be hell to pay . They locked me in an interview room . I kept waiting for someone to come and question me , but no one ever came . I guess Rodney and Christine were handling everything . I folded my arms on the table and lay my head down to wait . About thirty minutes later , the door opened , and they told me that I was free to go . They didn't 000 16 M229 N Ne 1/4 < I'm Not Going to let this Go have to tell me twice ; I hurried to follow them out . " Are you alright ? " Christine and Gwen asked at the same time . +8 Points " I'm fine . I knew you would prove I owned the villa . Thanks for coming over so quickly to help me ," I replied . " Elizabeth , I'm so sorry , I will deal with them when I get home . I can't believe they did this ," Roger said as he approached . Charlie and Drew intercepted him and flanked me on either side . Rodney stood in front of me , showing a united front . " Don't worry about it , Roger . I'll be dealing with them myself . I'm quite sure I was slandered by one or more of them . I will discuss with Rodney how we will move forward . Thanks for coming , but I don't need your help . They thought they could get away with this because of you and your actions . You were the one who lied to them about my position in the company . You treated me badly , so they thought they could too . So you've got what you wanted from this . I'm not a part of the company anymore . But you can tell them to wait for my good news . They were warned last night . I'm not willing to forgive them again . I look forward to seeing them in court ," I replied . Roger paled upon hearing what I told him . I knew that whatever they had said was bad , and I'm fine with it . That just means they will face several charges . The more charges , the better , as I don't want this swept under the rug . Plus , when the truth comes out , it will make them look even worse . Rodney turned to look at me and at the arch of my eyebrow . He smiled and nodded . I was silently assured that we had what we needed to move forward . " I would like to take you all to lunch . I'm starving . We can speak when we get there ," I told them . I walked past Roger and headed for the door . As much as this needed to go down like this , I never wanted to return here again . Well , not as a prisoner . I was just glad that I hadn't been taken to a cell . I had reaffirmed the need for me to learn some self - defense after what happened in the last twenty - four hours . Seeing Tiffany again really drove the point home . I didn't want to be defenseless anymore . Charlie headed out first to show me where the vehicle was , while Drew remained by my side . Rodney had been parked next to them , and Gwen and Christine were right behind us . I knew that Roger had come here to smooth everything over , but that was not going to happen . I needed to speak to Rodney to see if Roger had handed over the document that he wanted me to sign so badly . " What would you like to eat ? " Charlie asked as he went to pull out . " Really , I could eat anything . So , whatever sit - down restaurant is closest to us is fine with me , " I answered . " I also wanted to thank you for being so quick to record what happened today . That'll help , as I plan on suing Joyce and Sasha . " " I asked Rodney to record their faces when they came outside after us . We were trying to run interference for you as best we could . We already saw the video . Your ex looked horrified , but the women were smiling about you being arrested . You are going to have a lot to work with . Rodney called and had his assistant record what made the news . They went a lot further than accusing you of selling his home . They're going to look pretty bad once they discover who you are . I hope I'm around to be around to see how it plays out , " Drew advised . " Oh , I can assure you that you both will be assigned to me . Trust is hard to come by , and you two stepped up in a big way for me today . I just want you to know that tonight is probably going to go even worse because of 16 OMNND 274 111 O < I'm Not Going to let this Go +8 Points > what happened . I thought Joyce might wait to come up with a plan , which is how she usually operates . Them pulling this today has Sasha written all over it . But since you know who my family is , you need to know it is going to turn ugly tonight . My father is forcing me to come by threatening my company , Fashion Forward . I can promise you that tonight will not go smoothly . I'll try to keep you out of it as much as I can . As things progress , the risk of threats will increase . I might consider hiring a third , so if you have suggestions , feel free to give them . I would want him to fit in well with you , " I replied . " If you can afford it , I think that's a good idea . Your family has a number of resources . I think it might be best to keep us with you whenever you are out . He has had years of experience behind the wheel and as a bodyguard . I'd suggest that you ask Jon Wolfe to replace me as your driver . That way I can keep you company back there ," Charlie said . My eyes flew to his in the rear - view mirror . I was shocked that he had said that , but then he winked at me again . I heard his low laugh at my response . " I'm sorry , you're just too easy to tease ," he said . Drew hit him with the back of his hand on his bicep , but it wasn't a hard hit . He was warning Charlie to stop flirting with me . " It's fine , I'm just not used to being flirted with . I'll call after we eat , " I replied , and just left it at that . I was glad as he pulled into the restaurant . Drew got out and looked around before opening my door . I appreciated his caution , but at the moment , I felt I was still safe . Things will become more dangerous when my identity is exposed . " I'll text our boss , so he doesn't assign Jon somewhere else . He will wait on your official request , " Charles advised as he met us at the back of the SUV . I could see Rodney pulling into the parking lot , with my friends right behind him . It was a sushi restaurant , and I was excited to eat here . Roger didn't like seafood , so I didn't get to eat it very often . I had to either pick it up or eat by myself . the When we entered the restaurant , the hostess immediately checked Charlie and Drew out . " How many ? " she asked . " Six , and we would like to sit there ," Charlie answered and pointed at the large private room next to us . It was completely empty , with doors to shut out prying ears . " We don't open that room up until dinner . I'm sorry ," she replied . " I can seat you in the main room . " " No , we need to speak privately ; we need the private room , " Drew replied . " I don't have servers to work in there , " the hostess tried to deny us again . TA " I'll give a hundred - dollar tip to whoever is free to serve us in there ," I spoke up . I was tired and hungry; I needed to eat . If this didn't work , we would go somewhere else . A nearby server heard me and came over . " I'm glad to help . I will seat you now . Nancy , I'll clean the room after they leave . It won't be an issue , " she said . " Thank you , " I replied as she escorted us into the room . " It's my pleasure . The Manager prefers the room to be kept clean , so it's not used during the day . I was the one who cleaned it yesterday . I'm happy to help ," she replied . She took our order and left , closing the door behind her . I didn't waste time . " What did they say about me ? " I asked .
