No! Please Lucifer no! I couldn't believe it! I didn't want to believe it! I felt a sudden wave of rage as I gripped my phone tightly. How dare he! How very dare he!
I quickly jumped up to my feet and walked to the foyer of mine and Ben's new home and I picked up my laptop bag. I then quickly walked back over to the couch and I pulled my laptop out. I then set my laptop down and placed my laptop bag on the couch on my left hand side. I turned my laptop on and impatiently tapped on the glass coffee table in front of me as my laptop booted up as my eyes caught the texts that had been sent with email, asking whether I had received the case sensitive email. I hoped that they hadn't sent this to anyone else - there would be hell to pay if it had!
After quickly typing my password in I quickly opened up my emails and when my eyes landed on what had been sent to me I gulped - did I really want to see this? Before I could stop myself I quickly opened the email to read:
TITLE: NEWLY DISCOVERED EVIDENCE
From: Detective Michael Peterson
To: King Benevolent Florian Adams
Your Majesty,
Please find the video file that has been discovered today by a member of my team that is investigating this case.
Also be assured that only I and the member of the team who found the video have seen this video. As I don't believe that it should be something that is shared just yet, as it is probably going to be used in the coming trial. And of course I know it is also probably going to cause some embarrassment for your wife and just like you, you both have been through enough.
Could I ask for an email from yourself to let me know that you have received this email? Just due to it being case sensitive I want to make sure that it doesn't get our sooner than it should.
Yours faithfully,
Detective Michael Peterson
I sighed as I clicked on the mp4 file and I froze when I watched Bobby's face appear on the screen. I noted that he was wearing the same suit he was wearing when he was taunting me about leaving to go and see Mal. I watched as he placed the camera down on the side and when I looked at the scene around him I froze again - I was about to see what had happened in the hotel room.
I felt a sudden burning sensation in the pit of my stomach when another realisation hit me - Bobby had planned to video himself having sex with Mal! What a creep! I already hated him and I didn't think I could hate him any more - but I did! He was going to manipulate Mal into sleeping with him and he was going to record this! However before I could concentrate on my rage I heard a voice say my name, which broke me out of my train of thought.
"Ben?" I heard Mal say which made me look over to the doorway she was standing in and I saw concern in her face. I quickly paused the video; part of me just wanted to keep this away from her but I knew that I couldn't do this. I couldn't protect her from this; she had to know. Thankfully we were on our own so we could get through it together.
Another thought then came to me as my mind reminded me what Mal told me what had happened in this hotel room and I had fully accepted what she had told me. But my heart started to sink at the fact that I was about to see what was happened; hearing about it was one thing - but seeing it was a completely different thing.
