Chapter 21

"Don't believe me? Ask him." Jane said right as Matt walked up and Mercedes shook her head and started to back away.

"No, this isn't me-"

"Mercedes I know your body." Matt said and she couldn't form words because she didn't and hadn't spoken to him since that day.

"Matt I- didn't" She said looking at Sam who was looking at Matt carefully.

"Look I get that you might still have feelings but we ended years ago and I'm not sure what happened with all the stuff about being looked into but it has to stop now." Matt said firmly, catching Mercedes off guard.

Sam had heard enough and moved Mercedes behind him and looked at the man speaking rudely at her, he heard enough to know that he was her ex but what he did not like was the fact that one he was even there and two how he was speaking so smugly.

"You might want to watch your tone." Sam said and Matt looked him up and down before letting out a humorless laugh.

"Look, this is between Mercedes and myself, I'm not sure who you are nor do I care." Matt replied and Sam just nodded before invading the man's personal space ignoring the gasp from his wife.

"I don't think you heard me clearly so let me reiterate, watch how you speak to my woman because trust you don't want these problems." Sam said lowly and Matt stepped back seeing how serious the man was in front of him.

"Good, now ask her politely if she sent those pictures." Sam instructed and Jane shot her husband a look.

"Cedie."

"Mercedes." Sam said letting him know any pet names they shared won't be tolerated in his presence.

"Mercedes, did you send those texts?" Matt asked, earning an eye roll from Jane because of how he caved so easily.

"No, I didn't. I haven't even used my phone in the past two weeks." She answered and Jane scuffed.

"Then explain the pictures and the 'I love yous' and the 'I miss you' texts." Jane interjected.

"It wasn't me."

"Look, if you're trying to save face because of your… man, you might want to think about lying." Matt said and Sam shook his head.

"Walk away." Sam said sternly and Matt looked at his wife before taking another step back. Jane moved in front of him staring Sam down.

"She has been sending him messages and pictures and I don't frankly care how you feel about how we choose to address her because she's interfering in our marriage." Jane spoke and Sam just looked at the petite woman.

"Can… Can I see them, the messages please?" Mercedes asked, moving in front of Sam and Jane handed her over the phone after unlocking it and showing her where the messages began.

Mercedes looked over the message, shaking her head before handing it back to her. Everyone waited for her to say something but she didn't for a few moments.

"I didn't send those. These started coming in when I was in Hawaii and I hadn't used my phone until my dad called about my brother." She said finally and Jane rolled her eyes.

"Okay we're done here." Sam said seeing that his wife wasn't going to accept her answer and a part of him knew it had to be his brother or father so there was no point to continue this conversation.

"You don't get to walk away from this!" Matt shouted when they started to walk away.

"Excuse me?" Mercedes asked not understanding where all this hostility was coming from.

"You don't get to crash back into my life and then act like there's nothing there!" Matt said, shocking everyone except Sam who knew he had to beat his ass now.

Sam let out a sigh, walking back over to where Matt was standing and bawled up his fist but before he could hit him Mercedes grabbed his arm. Sam looked at her and she just moved him aside looking Matt directly in the eye.

"There is nothing there between us, we ended years ago because you cheated on me with her. You don't get to stand here and use fake messages, messages you know I'd never send! I haven't spoken to you since that day i called and you were an asshole then but you will not further insult me by implying I would purposely ruin someone's marriage! That's more up your wife's alley." Mercedes said and Sam smirked, proud that she was standing up for herself.

"You-" Jane started before Mercedes shot her a look that made her stop.

"No, you knew he was married and he did too but the blame is equal. Sure I didn't see marrying him as the right thing but I was committed and I didn't cheat nor did I cause any damn problems when it came out that he was cheating on me." She said feeling a weight off her shoulders.

"That still doesn't explain the messages and pictures." Jane snipped and Mercedes just shrugged.

"I warned your husband someone would be looking into me and that I wasn't sure what was going to happen but he was an asshole about that too. Now, if you'll excuse us I was promised that I'd be fucked into the mattress so we're gonna go do that." Mercedes responded and the smile that crossed Sam's face was priceless.

"Don't fucking contact my girl again." Sam said in passing as he opened the car door for Mercedes before getting in himself.

…

Stevie looked over the files three times before setting them down and doing the one thing he'd never thought he'd do… eat crow. Sam and Stacey had been right all along, Dwight hadn't given a shit about them and he was cocky enough to fall for his little act earlier. Stevie was never one to believe word of mouth but this time he truly wished he had listened to his older brother.

Dwight's plan to ruin Sam didn't stop at him, he wanted everything. His businesses, his notoriety and he wanted Mercedes gone just like he wanted Unique gone. Apparently, strong minded and hard working women were a no go for his fucked up dreams for his sons. Dwight wanted them to have submissive and mousy women and from what he gathered about Mercedes she wasn't mousy at all, a little shy but mousy not at all. Unique damn sure didn't fit that mold, she was loud and boisterous, any and everyone room she entered you knew it.

Stevie needed Dwight to believe he was still angry and going to seek revenge so he had to keep up his angry facade. He walked back into his father's office with more motivation now than he had when he first arrived.

"Let me take care of Sam." He said as soon as he entered and Dwight smirked before sitting back waiting for him to explain.

"Sam is attached to Mercedes so I'm going to separate them, causing a problem that will keep her away." Stevie explained.

"How do you plan on doing that?" Dwight asked.

"Simple, she doesn't seem like the type to appreciate a cheater so I'm going to put him in a position where no matter what she won't believe he hasn't cheated."

"Mhm and how do you plan on making this happen?"

"Quinn." Stevie answered and Dwight smirked because he remembered the pretty blonde his son occasionally fooled around with and he knew given the right amount she would do just about anything.

"See that it's done." Dwight instructed.

"I will but not before my seat at the table is in writing and don't bullshit me on the bonus, I'm about to make you a lot of money by not only taking Sam down but taking his businesses in the process."

"I'll have Emma draft up a contract right away. What are you planning to do about your issue?"

"Unique will be handled via business, I'll ensure that her business is owned by Evans Corp." Stevie answered and Dwight for once looked impressed.

"That's the man I raised." Dwight said standing up and holding his hand out for him to shake. Stevie smirked and shook his father's hand before walking out and putting his real plan into motion, he just hoped he was going to be able to get Sam to listen.

…

Kitty was happy Sam was away, she was also happy when she found out Stacey was in town and currently sitting across from her. They had a loose end to tie up before Sam could come back and when Stacey reached out she jumped at the chance to do a little evil.

"So how long will he be gone?" Stacey asked.

"My guess is until she decides to come back here, he still has to finish the acquisition of Anthony's company." Kitty responded.

"Well we need to assume that the time frame is short because I'm sure she's going to try to do something else completely stupid."

"What about your brother?"

"Stevie? Trust, he finally has enough information to go digging for himself so he isn't an issue any longer."

"Then we need this to go off smoothly because I've been waiting to get this bitch." Kitty said and Stacey smirked as she nodded in agreement.

"Let's get this bitch." Stacey said, holding up her glass.

Marley

Marley was scrambling trying to pack up her things because the last thing she needed or wanted was Stacey fucking Evans lurking around. She'd heard enough to know that if she ever came your way, you were basically fucked. She wasn't remotely done with trying to get Sam back but she wasn't going to do it from Savannah any longer. She'd been sending messages to Mercedes ex and so far nothing had come from it so she needed to find another way.

She'd quit her job and didn't really care that Anthony was still trying to get her to explain why, she was starting to think he was more than a creep and wondered how Mercedes lasted so long there. She was almost done packing when her phone went off, she looked and let out a breath.

It was a message from Sam, asking her to come over so they could talk. She couldn't contain her happiness because if he was texting her then that meant Mercedes was out of the picture. She did a happy dance before quickly grabbing something sexy from her packed bag to wear over there. She would shower and primp before hand because if everything panned out the way she planned, the night would end with her in his bed.

When she was finished, she headed out and as expected there was a car waiting for her, she smirked already getting used to the familiar treatment. She smiled at the driver before noticing the flowers sitting on the seat and let out a squeal. Sam was trying to win her back, she just knew it!

The drive was quick and she was greeted by his house manager who instructed her to go to his office, she shot him a confused look but headed downstairs like instructed.

"Knock, knock." She said before walking into his office.

"Gullible bitch." She heard and saw Stacey sitting in his chair with a smirk.

"What..?"

"Let's have some fun shall we?"
