Chapter 3 Lingering Feelings

• The police had arrived, honoring the call of the security men. Elaine knew Jason had the power to save her. She had to make a decision quickly.
• "I will never apologize to you or that wife of yours. I would rather rot in jail." She spoke with hatred. At that moment, she hated him with everything within and without her. He had just become her greatest enemy; he and his wife.
• "Take her away," A smirk formed on his lips and she wished she could punch it off his face but her hands were already cuffed.
• "You'll regret this!" She gritted as they pulled her away.
• Jason smiled satisfactorily before going back to the hall. His wife was being taken care of by the medics.
• "Where is that b***ch? I want to give her a piece of my mind." She seethed and winced from the pain as the medics treated her.
• "Don't worry about it, I have already taken care of her." He replied. "You should have ignored her. Why did you go to her?"
• "So now it's my fault?"
• "Yes, dear. It's your fault. You left your table to confront someone you should have forgotten about after three years. You brought this upon yourself." He shook his head and walked away.
• 'Wait, don't tell me he still likes her. He never scolds or reprimands me.' She thought. 'Damn you, Elaine, damn you.' She hit her first angrily on the table beside her, scaring her doctor.
• "You should take it easy, madam." The doctor said and continued her work.
• Elaine's boss tried so hard to reach her but all proved futile.
• After getting a call that she was at the police station, she had to leave the event.
• "She is so getting fired tonight." She boiled with anger. "Just stick beside me, that was all she had to do. But she had to get in trouble and land herself in the police station. Classic Elaine."
• She had the driver take her to the mentioned police station.
• Elaine sat down in a cell, dejected. The young police officer watching over her felt pity for her. She looked sad and lonely.
• "You could have just apologized." He said and she sighed.
• "I couldn't, even if I wanted to. He made my life miserable and I'm going to torture him. I already took care of his wife, it's remaining him." She replied rather calmly.
• "How did someone like you end up having issues with Jason Reed?" He asked.
• "I don't want to talk about it. It's a long story." She replied.
• "Where is that witch?!" Elaine's boss shouted at the top of her voice as she made her way to her cell. Elaine recognized her voice quickly and wished the ground would just open up and swallow her.
• The police officer opened the cell, letting Mrs. Whitney John, her boss, walk in. She quickly stood up at the sight of her. She intertwined her fingers and waited for the worse punishment she could ever receive after her tragic divorce.
• Whitney raised her hand to slap Elaine but stopped when she saw her body was a total mess. She put her hand down and looked away.
• "You have a lot of explaining to do, young lady. By the way, you're fired. Let's go." She stormed out of the cell and Elaine followed suit. She didn't want to anger her boss more than she was already angry.
• "Look at you, you're a mess. How could you let someone defeat you like this? This is shameful. Who did this?" She rained questions on her but Elaine dared not complain.
• "The wife of Jason Reed." She replied.
• "Oh, your ex-husband. How could you let your ex-husband's new wife defeat you like this? I'm not a fan of losers, you know."
• They both entered the car.
• "Defeat me? In her dreams. I tried to avoid her because trust me, I love my job, but the bi*ch wouldn't let me be."
• "I love that bi*ch you put there. Go on."
• "She threw the cold punch at me and I poured hot sauce on her face."
• "That's my girl. That'd teach her not to mess with everyone that comes her way, especially you. If she tries that again, pull her hair off. She'll tremble when your name is being mentioned after that."
• Elaine didn't know her boss was a core supporter of violence. She liked this side of her.
• "About my job, please, I'm very sorry. I tried my best to avoid trouble and stick to your plan but Claire ruined it all." Elaine pleaded.
• "It's fine. You're not so much of a loser after all. You can keep your job and get ready for a promotion, my dear."
• Elaine felt elated. Her heart raced to the moon and back.
• Euphoria!
• "Thank you so much, ma'am. Thank you." Elaine would have knelt if they weren't in a car.
• "It's fine. Whenever that sl*t comes your way with trouble, teach her a good lesson."
• "I will, that I promise you, ma'am."
• Elaine felt grateful. She had been given a second chance to prove herself.
• She was sure going to teach her exes a lesson they would always remember. Their lives will be filled with regrets, especially Jason's. She already had a killer body, and that was enough for her knowing the kind of person he was.
• ****
• Jason released his tie as he got back to his mansion. His wife was mad at him for yelling at her but he didn't give a f**k. She was wrong and whatever happened to her was her fault.
• Ever since the first miscarriage, they hadn't been able to have a child and that bothered him.
• Seeing Elaine again after three years awoke some beautiful memories. She was the best woman in the world but she couldn't have a child for him and that was his weakness. He thought he could handle it and maybe adopt a child but when Claire seduced him, he gave in. He wanted to try at being a father and it worked after their fourth sex.
• He felt bad for cheating on his ex-wife but there was nothing he could do about it. Being a father was his utmost priority and it made him lose sight of what a wonderful person Elaine was.
• 'It's bygone, Jason. Focus on Claire and be responsible or else, you'll lose her too.' He reprimanded himself. He went to his mini bar and grabbed a drink and a time glass. He emptied some content of the bottle into his glass and sipped from it. It didn't satisfy him as much as he wanted, so he drank from the bottle instead.
• His phone vibrated in his pocket and he groaned. He didn't want any disturbance.
• He brought out the phone from his pocket and checked the caller. It was his best friend, Damon.
• He pressed the answer button and placed the phone on his right ear.
• "Woah, man! Your ex-wife be serving us those after-divorce vibes." He shouted. Jason had to pull the phone away from his ear for some seconds.
• "What do you want me to do about that? Just like you said, she is my ex-wife." Jason said perfunctorily.
• "Mahn, she's so hot. Did you see those wide hips? I'd kill for those." He licked his lips. Somehow, Jason felt annoyed.
• "What do you want, Damon?"
• "Permission. That's all I ask for. Permission to screw her. I'm going to put that hot @ss on my d**k and ride her till she screams my name."
• "Damon!" Jason yelled.
• "What? You two are no longer together, why can't I have her? It'll be fun to put her in 70 positions in seven minutes. Man, I can't wait to try out that six-nine stuff."
• Jason rubbed his temple. His friend was actually very crazy. He has lost his mind.
• "You really think Elaine would let you do that to her?" He chuckled.
• "Of course. She didn't look slutty at the party, rather very decent but I'm sure there's a little bitchy person deep inside. I just have to find it."
• "You're unbelievable, Damon. Alright, good luck with that."
• "But seriously bro, don't you want to just drill deep into that heavenly embodiment?"
• "Hell yeah!" He exclaimed. "I want to do so many bad things to that body of hers. Something within me wants to make her mine again. Her banging body is all I can think of right now."
• "Race you to the top." Damon laughed.
• "I'm already one step ahead of you, man."
• "You're bad, bro. You spoke to her?"
• "I did. Didn't exactly end well but uhm... I'll be shaking those legs sooner than you think." He said proudly.
• "Don't brag too much."
• Damon hung up. Jason continued drinking from his bottle. At that time, he couldn't deny the fact that he still loved her and wanted her back.
• May the best man win.
