Justice For Juniper (Tatienne Richard) novel Chapter 180

Hospital Crashers Part II

“They are in love,” Lois defiant declaration sounded half–hearted even to Juniper’s ears.

“No, we’re not, Lois.” Juniper spoke up. “I hate him. I will never forgive him for all the cheating, for all the lies, for all the scams. We’re divorced. We have a divorce decree which proves our love is done. Anything I felt for him in the past is long

gone. I am here to tell you to your face, if he continues to stalk and harass me, with or without the help of Denise Perez, I’ll do everything in my power to put him in jail.”

“Where he’s already going to go based on his assault charges and now the fraud charges,” Fermín commented angrily. “Your son is a piece of shit and he’s going to go to jail for the shit he’s done.”

“He’s not a piece of shit.” Lois was angry. “He lost his way, that’s for sure, but he was doing everything for Juniper. We talked at length about it Juniper. He was doing everything to give you a life you deserved.”

“Are you stupid?” Heloise asked curiously. “Seriously, we’re all wondering how fucking dumb you are as a human being. I know your husband knocked you up and you didn’t get into college but hell, I know lots of women who never went to qollege who are incredibly brilliant.”

“Me!” Maeve held her hand up. “I never went to college. I still know how to invest my money, know right from wrong and not cheat on my partner. I also wouldn’t ever accent or condone cheating in my relationship.”

“Your daughter has three partners. Pretty sure that’s the definition of cheating.” Lois blustered.

“Yeah, she’s fucking stupid,” Heloise rolled her eyes. “Lois. When there is consent, there is no cheating. For example, when my son bends Juniper over a piece of furniture and her other partners watch or participate, and they all agree on what is happening, that’s called consent and it’s not cheating. When your son tells his wife he has to attend a meeting his boss set up so he can’t make their prenatal exam and then he fucks someone else without his wife knowing what is going on, without her permission, without her consent and without her approval, it’s cheating.”

“But he loves you Juniper.”

“Let me try!” Maeve smirked, “my husband found out all kinds of details about you Carl.”

“Husband?” Lois asked.

“Yeah. Fermín made sure we were married before we left Spain. He also paid me all the money I should have got in child 277 support and alimony for the last thirty years. He wanted to make sure we didn’t miss another minute of our lives and if something happened to either of us tomorrow, we know the other is taken care of.”

“You married him already?” Lois asked incredulously.

“Yes. He’s incredibly,” she looked at Fermín with a smile, “decisive. When he decides he wants something he takes it.”

“Why are you coming so hard for him?” Carl asked angrily.

“But” Lois choked out a sob. “I love you like a daughter.”

“You treated me like trash, Lois. You pressured me for a child. You celebrated my broken heart with a Christmas ornament. You never accepted me as your family, but you pushed me to be nothing more than a womb you wanted control of. Someday, Kyst will get out of jail and maybe he’ll find someone else and fall in love and have a family with them and for your sake, I encourage you, to understand the boundaries I could never make you comprehend. Even now you’re trying to be involved. Now, use that involvement and tell your son he needs to stop. If he doesn’t stop, I’m going to pursue legal action beyond what we have already.” Juniper glared at her, “do you understand?”

“You can tell him I was here to tell you to deliver a message for me.”

Lois nodded as Juniper’s tone was blunt.

“I’m getting married. He is not invited. I will never see him again. Pass that along.” Juniper waved at everyone to leave. “Let’s get out of here.”

Heloise spoke up, “one last thing, Lois.” She glared at her, “I’m learning from your mistakes. I won’t treat my new daughter like shit the way you did. I have her back against you. Don’t try me, bitch.”

Juniper giggled until her father, Fermín, added his final thoughts and then she blinked and shook her head.

“Come near my daughter again, any of you, especially you Carl Kennedy, and you’ll wish it was jail where you were being punished. I’ll make you disappear off the face of the earth after a painful stint in my presence and not a cop on the entire planet will be able to pin it to me. To quote my new friend Heloise, don’t try me bitch.”
