Justice For Juniper (Tatienne Richard) novel Chapter 168

Final Nail In A Coffin Part II The door of the condo pushed open, and Beni and Phineas entered together laughing and their smiles fell off as they noted the angry expression on Juniper’s face. “Is this over what the IT guy said he found?” Phineas asked as he immediately dropped his attaché bag to the floor and moved to wrap his arms around Juniper. “Was he right? Kyst was making money on the side on a porn site?” “Yeah,” Adil nodded. “I brought a few of the stills and videos in case she wanted to see them.” “Why would she want to see them?” Phineas grunted. “She’s divorced from him. What he does or has done is not her concern anymore.” “But he’s constantly harassing her and demanding her to go back to him. He is acting like he was doing it because he was forced by his boss. This,” Adil wiggled his screen, “is nothing to do with his workplace. While the patrons were getting the link from contracts he was signing, many of the women he was signing, were giving his website to their friends and their friends’ friends. This was not work–related.” “So?” Beni asked as he moved with Phineas to wrap his arms around Juniper. “We don’t need to keep reminding J iper her ex–husband was a cheating pig. She should be leaving him in “Fair.” Adil nodded. “My IT fellow felt strongly Juniper should know what Kyst was filming in their bedroom.” “Wait!” she spun in Phineas‘ arms to look at Adil. “In my bedroom?” “Yeah, baby girl. He was putting on performances in your bedroom.” “Son of a fucking bitch!” she snapped, “show me.” Adil started to pull up a photo, and she flapped her hand frustratedly, “no. A video. One video. Where he’s doing whatever it was he was doing and where he was doing it. I’ll watch it once.” Adil hit play on a video and Juniper watched as Kyst with a camera angled somehow over the bed they’d shared, a hint of their nightstand with the frame of a photo from their wedding just barely visible. His voice was husky, a tone she remembered when he was intimate with her, and he was talking to the camera as if he was talking to one specific person on the other end of the lens. He was naked, his six–pack abs on display and his fist groping himself boldly. She looked away and noted Suki was plugging her ears and staring at the table and not looking at the screen. She wanted to join Suki in her actions. “Stop!” she held her hand un. “I’m done.” “Yes.” “Call him. Right now, I want you to call him. He won’t know the number calling him and I want to take him by surprise. If nothing else, this gives me ammunition to tell him to stay away from me.” Adil dialed the number out and after the third ring, it was picked up. “Kyst Kennedy.” “Kyst Kennedy, this is Adil Benton.” “What do you want?” “Oh, Juniper is here with me. She asked me to call you.” “Juni, baby, what’s wrong? Where are you? Do you need me to come to you?” “Fuck off, Kyst. I hate you.” “You don’t mean this.” “Well, considering I’m looking at a video of you, jerking off to some unknown woman on our bed with our wedding photo barely out of frame, I think you should take me at my word 376 when I say I hate you.” “I mean we found the site which earned you money to balance out the funds in the account which your boss didn’t put in there. You were selling sex from our bed. The bed where you and I slept every night, you were bringing strangers into it. You fucking pig. We were done before today, Kyst. In fact, Beni just came to my place with my divorce papers, and we were going to celebrate by going out to dinner with Suki and Frank. But me seeing this solidified my loathing of you. We couldn’t believe you tried to come to talk to me at work this morning and everyone is concerned you’re as off the wall as Denise is and the fact you would come at me with this shit out there in the recesses of the web is boggling the mind. You need to leave me alone, Kyst. You need to stop coming to talk to me. You need to stop trying to get back together. We’re done. We’re over. We will never, ever, get back together.” “Juni, please, let me explain. In every video I imagined it was you on the other side of the lens.” “Go fuck yourself, Kyst. You can’t use the excuse ever again about your bosses pushing you or how you were doing this for us. You cheated. You engaged in sex acts online. You violated my trust, my privacy and my love. I will never forgive you. I want you to leave me alone.” Juniper, you are my soul mate.” “Let me put this to you in another way.” She cleared her 476 throat and leaned over the phone sitting on the table. “I anything to keep me like this. Today, he and Phineas spent a full hour discussing all the ways they can step in and make sure you can never get near me again. My father already hates Carl for the fact he lied to my aunt and didn’t tell her he was married. She died at odds with her family over your father and they want Carl’s head on a pike. Guess who they want to string up with him? You, Kyst.” “Juniper.” “No. If you feel any love for me left in your heart, any at all, Kyst, you will back off and leave me alone. We are done. Don’t call me. Don’t come to my work. Don’t approach me. If you see me in a grocery store, go down a different aisle. If you see me in a restaurant, leave. We’re done. We will never be undone. Dig deep in your heart, Kyst and let me move on and live my life without you in it.” Juniper, I can’t. You will regret this, I know you will, and when you come down from all this anger, you’ll know you want to come home. Please baby, come home.” “Kyst, I’m getting married. I’m going to move on. Stay out of my life. This video of you jerking off in our bed for strangers proves to me the man I thought you were doesn’t exist. It wasn’t special and just for me, it was for the world. I don’t need that in my life.” won’t give up.” made a very powerful enemy, Kyst by not agreeing to let me live in peace. If you won’t give me my peace, I’m going to take it myself. I hope you’re ready.” She waved at Adil to hang up the phone and then she looked at Phineas with her jaw clenched tight, “tell Dad I agree with what he suggested this afternoon. Bury them all.”
