“And tonight, the fire?”
“What are you talking about what fire?”
Maybe she realized she’d said too much because she tried backtracking.
“There’re witnesses Sabrina, there’s no point in hiding it up now.”
“That’s impossible I made sure no one saw me…” She cut herself off but it was too late, the damage had already been done.
“Did you know my wife was in that building when you lit it on fire?” The anger was given free reign now. I had more than enough to do what needed doing.
“Of course I knew the little idiot was in there I made sure of it. That’s right I called pretending to be a new buyer and she fell for it. I asked her to stay around a little later, I was sure the area would be less busy by that time of the evening.”
“So your intent was to kill her.”
“What do you think? It doesn’t matter if you know now you should know the lengths I would go to to win you back. That’s the kind of woman you need in your life not some timid little mouse who runs at the first sign of trouble.”
“You’re truly insane if you think I would prefer you to my wife. I was never going to marry you get that through your head. I love her I’ve never loved you not even when we were together. You were just one of many that came before you. She’s the one.” The venom had no cover this time her face was contorted with it as she flew up from her seat.
“You’re lying I know you wanted me, everyone wants me. You’ll never make me believe you desire her more than me. You’ve even shamed her by turning her into nothing more than a shopkeeper just like her inferior father. I find that very telling.”
“You mean as opposed to a thief like your own father? I guess you’re right, that apple doesn’t seem to have fallen too far from the tree either.
“How dare you, the courts are in the process of proving my father’s innocence, he will be free soon.”
“I don’t have time for your pipe dreams I just came here to tell you once and for all to stay the fuck away from my wife.”
“Never I’ll never stop until I have what’s rightfully mine. I’ll succeed you know…”
“Why didn’t you this time?”
“I used the wrong accelerant or something, I didn’t want to use gasoline that would’ve been too obvious so I did the research and found something that’s supposed to be untraceable only it wasn’t strong enough. Not to worry though I’ll think of something else.” She was back in her head again as if I wasn’t present.
“You really are one fucked up individual, sad I didn’t see it before. Had I known what a deranged bitch you were I wouldn’t have touched you with a ten foot pole let alone my dick.” I headed for the door with her scream in my ear.
“Don’t forget you’ve been warned, stay away from Nadia.” I turned the screws for spite as I held the door open about to leave.
“She’s pregnant with our first child and I don’t want her stressed.” I slammed the door on her scream of outrage and headed for the elevator. I called my lawyer on the way down.
“Meet me at the station I have what we need.”
The police weren’t too pleased about me doing their job for them but I wasn’t about to wait around for them not when my wife’s life was in danger. They had to check the recording for tampering but she should be in custody before too long. That chapter of our life was closed.
I reached home in the early hours of the morning to find my wife just about to awaken. I’d stayed at the station with my lawyer until the cops had run their tests and done whatever they needed to get done. I’d had to call in some favors to get the ball rolling but that was okay. It was good to have the direct line to the mayor and the governor in times like this.
I slid into bed and pulled her carefully into my arms, holding her close.
“Gabe what time is it?” She yawned and stretched awake before flying from the bed in a mad rush for the bathroom. I followed her in in time to find her bent over the commode throwing up her dinner from the night before. Holding her hair back was all I could do to help my poor baby.
“Gabe I think I might have some sort of stomach flu or something, I’ve thrown up every morning this week.” I helped her wash out her mouth before taking her back in to sit on the bed with her in my lap.
“It’s nothing that a few months won’t cure love.”
