Chapter 56….
Emily was doing some shopping,looking for a new dress,when she came face to face with meg;"Hello,emily."
"Hello,meg."said her ex husband's wife and wanted to turn around to walk away when meg grabbed her arm,so she pulled away;"What do you want?"
"I just wanted to give you a friendly warning."replied she with a strange smile;"Eliza is my daughter and if you're smart then you will make sure that you don't get in the way because i will get her back,no matter who's standing in between me and my daughter!"
"Is that suppose to be a threat or something?"asked emily irritated;"I'm not scared of you!"
"It's just some friendly advice,emily,you wouldn't want to get hurt,would you?"smiled her husband's ex-wife;"Just trying to be friendly."
"You can threaten me all you want,but i only want what is best for eliza and i'm not going to turn my back on that little girl,no matter how many times you threaten me!"answered she;"I know that eliza is your daughter and i would never try to keep you away from her if that's what is best for her."
"I am what is best for eliza and she's going to be living with me again soon enough because that's where she belongs and if you are smart you will convince paul to give up before somebody ends up getting hurt!"warned meg her and grabbed emily's wrist,pulled her up real close to her;"Nobody gets between me and my daughter,emily,not without regretting it!"
"You're crazy!"said emily shocked,pulling away from meg again;"They shouldn't have released you from the nut-house!"
"I can be pretty convincing if i want to be."laughed her husband's ex-wife and walked away;"Especially when i really want something!"
At their apartment courtney was trying to focus on her writting,but she couldn't because she kept thinking about how jason had changed in the last couple of months.
When they had first met six years earlier in L.A. jason hadn't even been interested in money or all that social stuff and that had been one of things that she had loved about him because after living with her brother in Switserland,where she'd been forced to socialize with the upper class that her brother had belonged to,courtney wanted nothing more to do with that kind of crowd.
But eversince they had moved to oakdale jason had suddenly gotten really interested in climbing the social ladder and becoming the next d.a. which meant more money and power for him,something that courtney totally wasn't interested in.
She had enough money of her own,due to the money that she had earned from her writting as well as the family-money that she had inherited after her parents had died and which she had recieved when she had turned 21,and didn't feel the need to get richer.
Deeply in thoughts courtney hadn't noticed jason coming in untill he suddenly kissed her on the cheeck;"Hi,honey."
"Don't sneak up on me like that."said courtney a bit startled and gave him a cold look;"Shouldn't you be at the office or something?"
"I do,but i came to surprise my wife with something special and took an hour off."smiled her husband as he gave her a present;"I know i allready gave you new earrings for your birthday yesterdaymorning,courtney,but i saw this in the jewellery-store and i thought it was perfect for you."
"I don't want it!"replied she,laying her present on the desk;"You're only giving me a present to buy off your guilty conscience."
"Is that what you think?"asked jason and opened up the present,showing courtney what was inside,a beautyfull expensive,golden necklace;"Look at it,honey,it would look perfect on you and it was really expensive."
"I don't care how expensive it was,jason,i don't want it!"started his wife angry and got up;"Do you really think that giving me something expensive will make up for blowing me off yesterday or all the other times in the last two months?"
"Don't be such a drama-queen,courtney,you're acting like a spoiled brat and i have allready apologized for not beeing able to go out with you lastnight."answered he angry as well;"Some people have to work for a living and don't have the luxery to be able to scribble a bit."
"Scribble a bit?"asked courtney furious and stormed off;"Go to hell,jason!"
