Justice For Juniper (Tatienne Richard) novel Chapter 100

Mistakes Part II

“Mistakes?” Micheline asked loudly. “You think I’m a mistake?”

“I’ve been telling you it was a mistake for months! How the fuck did you find me here?”

“It must be the group chat.” Adil called out.

Kyst spun in horror, “the what?”

“You didn’t know?”

“Didn’t know what?” Kyst was running towards Adil and gripped him by the collar, “what the fuck are you talking about?”

Juniper watched from the safety of Phineas‘ embrace as he adjusted her in his arms, bridal style. She hooked her arm around his neck to hold on, but she was entirely distracted by the revelation Adil was spouting. There was a group chat.

Adil grabbed Kyst’s hands and removed them from his shirt, “Kyst, I’ve been wanting to knock your teeth down your throat for weeks. Don’t give me a fucking reason.”

“Kyst you need to help me!” Denise screamed as the officers put her in cuffs.

“I am not helping you! I hate you. I hated you from the beginning.”

“You love me!”

“Are you insane?” Kyst asked in disbelief. “On what fucking planet would you believe I would love you?”

“I just” she blinked at the tone of his voice.

“Even when I fucked you, Denise, I told you bluntly I didn’t like you. You were a hole instead of a fist and when I say I regret it, I can’t say it with enough emphasis. Out of all the mistakes I’ve made in the last few years, you were the biggest.”

“Why doesn’t anyone love me?” she sobbed as the cops started dragging her away.

“He can’t love you because he loves me!” Micheline yelled tauntingly after Denise.

“I don’t fucking love you either, Micheline. The only woman I love, the only woman I will ever love is my wife.” He looked back at Adil, “what fucking group chat?”

“You didn’t know?” Adil snorted. “My tech guy this morning finally figured out why you suddenly have eight different women showing up in various places.”

“How? Tell me how. This is insane and I need it to stop.”

“I kind of don’t want it to stop though,” Adil laughed in his face. “You deserve this. You deserve for all of your indiscretions to come to light.”

“You did this!”

“Yes!” Adil nodded. “She found out from the senior partner’s admin assistant that they were encouraging Kyst to manipulate women. She went through the entire list of visitors to Kyst’s office in the last two years through the logbook. She set up a group chat with the ones who she was sure Kyst crossed lines with and titled it Kyst is getting divorced. She’s been posting his itinerary on it.”

“Oh, she already quit. She quit the day after she ran into Juniper in the club because she found out what was happening, and she didn’t want to work for a scumbag who encourages his staff to cheat on their wives for a dollar. See, there are people in this world who have morals and ethics and know when to not work for sleaze balls.”

“You pushed me!”

“You grabbed and dug your damn nails into my arm. They’re like fucking eagle talons. You don’t get to put your hands on me!”

Beni helped her up off the ground, “are you okay?”

“I hurt my wrist and my hands are scraped,” she winced as she held her hands up.

Kyst looked horrified as one of the officers grabbed him and slammed him over the door of Denise’s car and began cuffing him. “What are you doing?”

“You just assaulted a woman in public with police officers “You just assaulted a woman i watching,” the officer snarled. He looked at the woman and shook his head. “Is he your boyfriend?”

“Yes.” She nodded emphatically.

“No!” Kyst screamed, “my wife is right there! I don’t have a girlfriend.”

“We’re divorced.” Juniper called out, “and we got divorced because he was cheating on me with a multitude of women including her. She’s his mistress.”

“This qualifies as domestic violence under the law. If she’s his girlfriend and he assaulted her, we have to bring him in.”

Juniper looked at Phineas, Beni, and Adil with glee, “this is like the gift which keeps on giving!”
