Chapter 42
Kimberly sat down, a glass behind Tommy and her. When Tommy came out in that orange jumper it broke her heart. Kimberly picked up the phone as Tommy sat down. His hands cuffed as he picked up the phone.
"Hey."
"Hey."
"I talked to your parents. They are coming with the lawyer."
"That's great."
"Have they told you anything else?" He shook his head. Kim started to cry. "I am so sorry!" Tommy touched the glass.
"Please, Beautiful, don't cry. It kills me to see you sad." Kim touched the glass.
"It's all my fault!"
"No, it's not. It's not your fault, okay. Please, don't blame yourself."
"Why is this happening?"
"Tyler."
"Tyler."

4 days later
Kimberly stood outside the court room. Tommy's parents with her.
"Kim, come sit." Kim was pacing around.
"Why can't we see him, the preliminary trial starts in like 10 minutes!"
"Come on, dear." Mrs. Oliver stood up and put her arms around Kim and sat her down. "It's going to be okay. Hopefully, we can get Tommy at least out of jail until the trial starts."
"Judge has have already revoked his bail." Kimberly knew why, Tyler had paid his high-price lawyers to corrupt the judge.
During the proceedings, Tyler was able to make Tommy explode and threaten his life as he punched Tyler. Tommy was taken away to solitary. Kimberly sat alone crying in her bedroom. She screamed for everyone to leave her alone, so they left. Aisha stayed, but Katherine convinced her to go get Kimberly some food. Katherine stayed behind and let Tyler come into the apartment.
"Is she alone?" Katherine nodded.
"Aisha just left, so you got maybe 20 minutes."
"That's all I need." Katherine smiled as he kissed her cheek. She left. Tyler knocked on the door.
"GO away, Sha! I don't need anything!" The door opened.
"I'm not Aisha."
"You son of a bitch!" Kimberly got up and went to hit him. Tyler grabbed her wrists and pinned her to the wall.
"Hey, hey, you don't want to go to jail for assault!"
"You broke into my place!"
"Kim, this hostility, I don't like it on you."
"Go to hell."
"I told you this was all your fault."
"Die!" She kicked at him. Tyler was able to catch her leg and pressed himself against her.
"Whoa, babe, calm down!"
"Let me go."
"Promise not to hit me?"
"No!"
"Then I can't let you go."
"Let me go or so help me I will..."
"What, scream?" She head butted him. "Mother fucker!" He held his nose, blood coming down. Kim punched him. Tyler was able to shove her away to the bed. She screamed as he pounced on top of her. "This could have all been easy!" He shook her. Kim cried. "I told you what I wanted! I told you what I needed! I want you!"
"You will never have me!"
"Then you will never have your husband." Kim looked up at him, tears rolling down her face. "It's really simply. I just want one night."
"Never."
"Never say never, Kimberly. As your husband sits there in jail, just think, he could be out, holding you, kissing you and all I ask for is one night."
"One night?"
"Just one night, no one will ever know."
"One night to lose it all in the end when he finds out. No thank you"
"Who will tell! I certainly won't and you don't have to! It will be our secret. I'll take it to my grave."
"I won't live with that guilt!"
"Fine, you can live with the guilt of one night with me or, live with the one where you could stop this all, but don't and let your husband stay behind bars. It's your choice. It's in your hands, Kimberly. It's in your hands." Tyler let her go and got up. "I'll be waiting." He left the room. Tyler smiled as he closed the door to hear Kim sob.
Tommy's trial was sped up, thanks to Tyler. Kimberly found herself not believing the last 3 weeks went by so fast. Tommy's charges not looking good. Tommy was looking at 2 counts of attempted murder, each with a sentence of 25 years or more. Tyler always kept reminding Kimberly she could stop this. She refused each time. Finally, Kimberly got called to the stand. It had became a heated discussion
"Mrs. Oliver, is it now?"
"Yes." Kimberly said to Tyler's lawyer.
"You just got married."
"Yes, December 22nd."
"Did you know you were marrying a violent man?"
"Objection, your honor!"
"Sustained."
"Talk to me about the night, my client was attacked."
"Your client deserved everything he got."
"He deserved to almost die."
"Yes."
"And why is that?"
"Because he is a sick man."
"A sick man? Why?"
"He is."
"Did your husband ever hit you?"
"Your honor!"
"I will allow it."
"Thank you, your honor. Did your husband ever hit you?"
"NO!"
"Are you sure, because we have a medical record of your husband claiming to have hit you."
"That was an accident he didn' t mean to..."
"But he did."
"I hit my head on the counter, but he didn't..."
"But did he hit you to cause that?"
"Yes. He hit me."
"The person he loves, he hits."
"He doesn't hit me!"
"But here, we have proof he has, whether it be just one time or just an accident. He hit you, his wife."
"You are twisting my words!"
"Back to the night of my client. Did you ever have feelings for him?"
"I love Tommy."
"I didn't ask you that?"
"I'm answering as I love my husband, no one else."
"Fine. Did you ever cheat on Tommy?"
"NO!"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes!"
"Then why would your husband attack my client. Is it just because he kissed you?"
"Objection your honor!"
"Sustained, watch it counselor."
"No disrespect, your honor. Mrs. Oliver, you knew my client, he even helped you learn how to snowboard, how could he be a sick man?"
"He knows...he knew how my husband would react to certain things."
"By kissing you?"
"Yes."
"And it was just one time."
"No."
"So, you and my client had a relationship?"
"NO!"
"So, it was just kissing?"
"NO!"
Tyler knew she would break eventually and with help from Katherine with her constant bashing of how all this was her fault. The trial ended with Tyler's account. It was late one night. Tyler was watching tv when there was a knock at the door. He opened it.
"It's you?"

Teaser: Kim just smiled through her tears as Tommy hugged her. "I gotta tell Mom and Dad!"
"Tommy, wait!"
"What?"
"Let's wait to make sure."
"Oh, right. Oh, god! I'm gonna be father." He hugged her again. "I'm gonna be a father! Oh, I love you soo much, Beautiful."
"I love you too." Kimberly said sadly as they hugged.
