Jordan looked at Rayanne, anger boiling in him.
"If you think you're getting one fuckin cent out of me, you can think again" He spat. He wanted to kill her, it would be so easy now just to put his hands around her throat and strangle the venomous bitch.
Rayanne popped her gum in her mouth and said defiantly "Well then, I'll have to see how much the papparazi will pay for it. I hear they pay thousands for celebrity sex scandals like this"
Jordan took a cigarette out of the packet and lit it, his hands shaking.
Angela crouched over the toilet, she had retched so much that her stomach muscles were begging for mercy. Everything ached and she felt dizzy.
She forced herself to re-watch the recording of Rayanne and Jordan, tears freely flowing down her cheeks.
She knew Jordan well, she knew his moves and she knew how he performed when making love, and the person she saw on video wasn't her Jordan. He didn't move, didn't try and take control as he usually did during sex..As sickened as she felt watching it, it was clear something didn't add up.
She scrolled through the menu of the phone and found the delete action. She erased all footage from Rayanne's phone.
Rickie was standing outside his bathroom door, he was frantic thinking Angela was about to do something silly, he had medication in that bathroom, he had razors..My god the possibilities of what Angela could do to herself in that state were endless.
"Angela?" he said gently but with urgency. "Angela it's me..open the door"
Angela blew her nose and washed her face. "I'll be out in a second Rickie" She answered.
Rickie sighed with relief. Thank fuck she was answering, she hadn't topped herself he thought.
Angela unlocked the bathroom door and took Rickie's hand.
"Let's deal with this fast" she said, her voice full of strength and determination.
They walked back into the living room to see Jordan standing with his back to Rayanne. He was visibly shaking and had a burned out cigarette in his hand.
Rayanne turned to look at Angela and smirked.
"Catalano's not paying up..We have a slight problem Angela" she said aggressively.
"No, you're the one with the problem Rayanne" spat Angela. "You won't be getting any money out of him"
Rayanne looked confused,this wasn't supossed to happen Angela was meant to be a wreck by now. Instead Angela seemed strong and confident.
Rayanne looked to the phone in Angela's hand. "Give me my phone back now" she demanded.
Angela smiled and handed it back to Rayanne "Here ya go, you wont find that film on there anymore by the way. I erased all footage" she said triumphantly.
Rayanne was dumbstruck, she hadn't actually counted on Angela using her brain over her heart.
"You've done WHAT?" she screamed, anger and panic taking over.
"I don't know what you done to Jordan but I do know him and I know full well that he wasn't a willing participant in whatever sick stunt you were trying to pull"
Rayanne stood up and ran towards Angela, her eyes blazing with hate.
"I fucking HATE you Chase..I'm telling you now he fucked me and loved it!"
Angela stood her ground and laughed in Rayanne's face. "I can't imagine anyone enjoying fucking you. Now get out before we call the cops and get you arrested for bribery"
Rayanne threw herself onto Angela and both girls started fighting on the floor. Jordan sprang into action and grabbed Rayanne by her hair.
"Get the fuck off of her you psycho" he cried. Rickie helped Angela to her feet as Jordan marched Rayanne to the door.
As Jordan kicked her out of the house Rayanne was screaming at him "You'll both regret this, I fucking get you somehow..I'll get you both"
Jordan shoved her hard out of the door making Rayanne fall to her feet. "Just fuckin try it" he said as he closed the door in her face.
Angela was crying, she couldn't believe what had just happened. How could Rayanne be so full of spite and envy. She had truly lost the plot. She stood there wiping her eyes with her hands.
Jordan came back into the living room and walked gingerly towards her.
"Baby, I didn't do anything, I would never compromise what we have..you..you're like my everything Angela...You gotta believe me"
Angela ran to Jordan and cupped his face in her hands. "I know Jordan.I know" Both sobbing with relief they kissed tenderly.
Nothing would break the bond and trust they shared. Nothing.
