Chapter 36
Greg
What the hell was this, I can't believe what I saw, he was wrapping his arm around her waist as if he own her, he looked at me with contempt, as if he was mocking me, does he think he can protect her from me! Absolutely no one can protect her from me, as soon as I find a suitable plan, I will have this Russian blonde that I have wanted for so long, her and her baby, they will be mine no matter what, and I will break the heart of that redhead, I will burn his heart, and he will see.
When I got to my father's room, I found Louis standing near the door
"What, tell me did he convince her to drop the case for the money?" I asked Louis
"Actually no, she is the one who convinced him with her tears that you are the perpetrator."
"What, are you telling me that he's now standing by that bitch against me, how can he do this to me?, I'm his only son"
"What a pretty blonde anyway, is she a supermodel? Or Miss Universe... Tell me the truth, Greg, you did that to her. Didn't you?"
"What the hell are you taking about, I told you the truth"
"Come on, Greg, it's just between us, as men, I've known you since you were little, and I know your type"
"What do you mean by my type?"
"Pretty, blonde, tall, sexy as hell, those kind of women have been your type ever since, listen... don't worry, I have another way to make her withdraw the case."
"Really? What is it?"
"First Go and wish your dad a good night and I'll tell you about it in the car, you own me a dinner by the way, I've been with you since ten in the morning and now it's half past ten at night"
"No way I'm going to talk to my father now, after he believed her, forget it"
"Your dad had a heart attack today Greg, don't you have any sympathy, he's your dad for God's sake"
"Come with me Louis, that's an order,... I'll be waiting for you in my car"
"So, how did its goes with the lawyer?" asked Louis
"Great, I went to visit him in his office and I gave him all the details, he will come to my office tomorrow to continue working in this fucking case "as I drive the care
"I told you he didn't miss any case he received so far" as He is lighting a cigarette between his fingers
"And what about his new plan you told me about to get her to withdraw the case"
"Oh that, …..just let's say you have to buy the red head" He's blowing smoke
"What, what do you mean by buying the red head, I'm not following you"
"It's a way to get her to withdraw the case, and you might get the girl and the baby too. if you want"
"Ummm, sound like a great plan ".
"Yes, but it needs money, Greg, maybe a lot of money"
"I'll pay anything to get what I want, Louis"
"Then listen to me, we'll lure him with money, to make him give her up and leave her, to another state, or maybe to another country."
"Why is all that? Can't we just kill him?"
Kill him? I didn't know you had a criminal mind, Greg, but no. We will not kill him, if you kill him, your blonde may remain loyal to him and she will never return to your arms, especially she you know that you killed him, but after you bribe him with money and he abandons her, she will hate him, maybe she will like to get revenge, and you are the best choice for her in this case."
"You are amazing, Louis, how did you come up with such a great idea" I smiled maliciously
"Through my long experience with people, I knew that there are two types of people, Greg, one that derives its strength from its ideas and ambitions, just like you I guess, and another type that derives its strength from love. And when I saw this couple today, I knew they are the second type, if you strip this beauty of her power, and by that I mean the love between them, then this is your chance to own her ,and her baby"
"I like that you use your wits to do evil, Louis, I didn't make a mistake when I called you the devil's advocate in my mind"
"You did, why didn't you tell me my new nickname, I love it" Then we laughed maliciously
The next morning, while I was in my office with a criminal lawyer, Dylan called
"What, Dylan?" in a sharp tone
"Good morning, sir, I have good news."
"What is it, say it quickly."
"I found someone who works in medical reports, and she accepted to work for us, you will receive the report of her first visit to the gynecologist today, sir."
"Don't call it good news, you idiot, before I get those reports, and you'd better send them quickly." Then I hung up and continued my meeting.
After about an hour, I received a message on my mobile, I read it after the lawyer left my office, a soft copy of her medical file for her last visit to the gynecologist, there are many numbers and medical terms that I did not understand, but the doctor's note says that it is a healthy pregnancy and all the sizes and indicators natural
Wheeler/Linka
While Wheeler and Kwame were reporting before their shift ended, they were teasing each other and joking, one of their colleagues came up, "Hey, Red Cop, there's someone waiting for you in the hallway named Louis."
"Louis! I don't know anyone by that name." When Wheeler went outside, he found Louis waiting for him, but Wheeler did not recognize him.
"Oh, Officer Wheeler, I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but I didn't have your phone number so I had to come to your place of work. I'm Lawyer Louis, a lawyer for Hanco International Company." He reached out and shook his hand.
"Yes, Greg's lawyer, who I'm suing him." He shakes hands back with Louis
"I wanted to talk to you about something that concerns you, can we sit somewhere and talk after your shift is over?" Louis knew that the first shift ends at this time.
"There's nothing to talk about. Bye, I'll meet you and your boss in court."
"Please, officer, you have nothing to lose if you hear what I'm going to say, believe me, it's in your best interest."
"In my interest? Ok, my shift is over, tell me what you have?"
"Shall we sit somewhere else and talk? It's not appropriate to talk here."
When Wheeler and the lawyer entered the coffee shop across from the police station,
"please have a seat, officer, what would you like to drink? It's my treat." The lawyer was trying to be very friendly with Wheeler, and Wheeler couldn't stand it.
"No, nothing, please say what you have, and make it fast" as he sits down
"As you wish, officer, as a matter of fact, I would love to speak to you man to man, in my experience, I believe your case will fall for insufficient evidence, and thus you will have worked yourself for nothing, but I have something for you that makes all that you have done worth it."
"Our case will never fall, and I will stick to your boss's ass until I see him rot in prison, and I will not rest until after I see him behind bars to pay for what he did to my girl," Wheeler raised his voice.
"Please, Mr. Wheeler, be realistic and use your mind, a case like this will take years, you will be wasting your time in the courts in vain, and don't forget that Mr. Gregg, if the case falls, has the right to demand compensation for your defamation and let me say that I don't think you can to pay this compensation"
"Oh, stop it, do you think that I have not consulted any lawyer, I consulted many lawyers and all of them said the opposite, don't try to be a smart ass "
"Well, let me tell you one more thing, the girl is pregnant, don't you think there's a good chance, that this baby isn't yours, it's very likely that Mr. Greg is the baby's father, and let me tell you this, if that's true, you'll have to see Greg every day until The child is eighteen years old, he will never abandon his son, that is, if he does not demand custody of the child and take him from his mother." Wheeler interrupted him, looking at him with angry eyes like a lion.
"Don't you dare think that this baby has a father other than me, I'm so positive that I'm his father and you will see that".
"Well, you leave me no more room to speak, I'll give you my final offer." Wheeler's name is on the check, and Greg's signature is on the bottom of the check, and the date is the same day, only the place for the amount is empty. Louis moved the check to Wheeler on the table
"See this check, officer, you can write down here any number you want, I think it's a generous offer that does not repeat, you can leave this job and start your own business and become a successful businessman, you can write a very large number that attracts you beautiful women from everywhere, please Use your mind Mr. Wheeler, what you see in front of you will not be repeated, and you will regret a lot if you do not take the opportunity."
"And what is the return?" He looks at the lawyer with suspicious eyes
"It's just one little request, very simple, and it won't cost you any effort, to leave that girl alone, and I promise we'll take care of her and the baby." Then Louis put the pen on the checkbook and handed it to Wheeler. "You can write any number, no matter how many zeros it has, imagine the happiness you will feel when you have such an amount."
Wheeler looked at the lawyer, then looked at the checkbook, he put his hand on the checkbook and pulled it towards him, he took the pen and started writing, the lawyer smiled the victorious smile, imagining how he would return the happy news to Greg and how he would get a reward for what he had achieved, Then Wheeler gave the notebook to you To Louis,
" Holy Crap." Louis said as soon as he see the check, Wheeler wrote literally "Fuck you son of a bitch" in place of the amount with a drawing of a dick on the check
"This is my response to your boss's offer. See you in court, Mr. Lawyer." Then he threw the pen mockingly at the table with a look of contempt in his eyes. Then he go out
When Wheeler came home, he found Linka had arrived before him. He knew this from her laptop bag and her purse on the edge of the sofa, as well as a bag of dinner food, as she was apparently in no mood to cook, there was small bag of lemons on the edge of the table.
After that, Linka left the bedroom and went to the kitchen where Wheeler was standing. She was wearing a silk pajamas, shorts and a pink top, her blond hair was loose and hung to her shoulders, she wore white wool slippers, although her face was devoid of make-up that she looked very beautiful, she looked like a Barbie doll in her box
"Here you are Yankee" she approached him and put a kiss on his cheek "How was your day? Guess what I brought you for dinner, it's Italian food, I know you love it , I brought you lasagna, imagine what happened today in the office, there was some lemon slices with the meal that the girls ordered, I don't know How did it all start, but I ate those slices after I put salt on them, I feel I want to eat sour food so bad, look what I got." Then she grabbed the bag of the lemons and pointed to Wheeler, "Look, I'm going to cut more slices and eat them, I feel crazy I've never eaten Lemon slices before." Then she looked at him carefully, he seemed to be absent-minded as he looked at her, he was looking at her from top to bottom, as if he was seeing her for the first time, and his eyes were full of love.
"Wheeler, what's up, is there something wrong? Are you okay?" She approached him and placed her hand on his shoulder, suddenly he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her, the kiss was full of longing, as if he had not kissed her before he went to work this morning, and as if he had not kissed her yesterday before bed time, a bag of lemons fell from her hand and lemons were scattered everywhere.
The passionate kiss lasted for a few moments, and after they parted to catch their breath, Wheeler hugged her tightly to his chest, and after a few more moments he said, "If they want to separate us, they must give me the sky with their angels, the earth with its mountains, and all the rainforests, the seven seas, and the seven continents." And all the treasures of the earth, they must give me the sun, the moon, and all the planets of the solar system, and after all this, I will not abandon you, love."
"Wheeler, are you okay? What happened to you?" Linka's tone was worried, she was not used to Wheeler speaking so seriously
"I was with Greg's lawyer a while ago," Wheeler looked at her eyes
"Bushy moy, what does he want this time?"
"Do you remember that white-haired man who was in Mr. Hanson's room when we went to visit him?" He undressed and threw his shirt on the sofa.
"Oh yeah, the one who was wearing the gray suit."
"Yes, it is the one, he gave me a signed and stamped check, and all I had to do was set the price I wanted."
"Price of what"
"A price for my love for you, a price for me to leave you... leave you ….to him" as he looks at her and continues undressing
"Oh bushy moy , I… I can't believe that,.. So …what did you do Yankee." she approached him and looked him in the eye as she awaited the answer.
"I cursed him and drew a dick for him on the check that his lawyer gave me." He smiled at her lightly and went into the bathroom to take a shower. After she collecting his dirty clothes piled on the edge of the sofa, she followed him to the bathroom, she was happy. She knew that her lover would not abandon her, but something like this happened really touched her heart
"Well, I hope you won't regret it someday, Yankee." She throws his clothes at him, because he knows of course that she doesn't like his habit of throwing dirty clothes everywhere.
"You know, I should have written ten million dollar and then me and you will hide in another country and that's how we'll be rich and stay together." He grabs the clothes and throws them in the laundry basket.
"Really, why didn't you do that, idiot?" she said joking
"Because I'm an idiot like you said,... hey... did you say something about lemons a little while ago?" He is taking under the shower
"Yes, I will cut the lemon into slices and I will eat it." looks at him while he's taking a shower
"Are you crazy? No one eats lemons, just squeeze it on your salad or make lemonade, don't eat lemons, it's too sour it will hurt your stomach."
"But I feel like eating lemons."
"Oh my God, do all pregnant women get crazy like you while pregnancy?"
"What do you mean Yankee?"
"Nothing, I mean, go eat whatever you want, babe." He wraps a towel around his waist and places a quick kiss on her cheek before entering the bedroom
