Chapter 9
Sally got ready for work, picking out another outfit that showed off her curves. While she knew it was wrong to seduce a married man, it wasn’t to seduce a married man who was unhappy in his marriage. Or at least she tried to convince herself of that. She tried to control her guilt by telling herself that she wasn’t ruining his marriage, he already had stated how unhappy he was.
When she walked into her office she saw the door to Silas’s office was open. She could hear him talking and didn’t want to interrupt him so she looked over some reports he had left on her desk.
Entering the information into the computer she stayed busy until he came out of his office. She looked up to see his hair was still wet from a shower, and thought how sexy he looked.
Her body warmed up thinking of him.
“Good morning.” He said.
“Morning. You seem like you are in a good mood this morning.” Sally commented.
“Yes, actually I am. I just found out some very good information.”
“Great!” She didn’t ask what the information was figuring if he wanted to share it he would. She had pushed him so much last night, now she felt like she had invaded his privacy.
“So are you ready to go over more of the resumes?” He asked.
“Sure.” Sally stood up and followed him into his office. His scent lingered in the air where he had been standing. As she walked through it, dirty thoughts of Silas crossed her mind and she thought that she might just give into him that day if she wasn’t careful.
They were going over the resumes when Jackie busted into the office. Her face was flushed and she didn’t even look at Sally. Instead she went over to Silas and began yelling at him. Sally felt odd being there but she couldn’t walk away, this was something she wanted to hear.
“Silas I’m leaving you. I am not happy anymore. My lawyer will be in touch with your lawyer. I hope once I get back from the country, we can finish our divorce.”
“I guess you decided your new man is worth more than me. How much money does he have?” Silas asked.
Jackie’s face went red and she sputtered, “There is no other man.”
“Oh come on Jackie, I know all about you two. In fact I have pictures to prove it. We’ll see just how much you can win in court when they find out you’re a cheating little whore.” Silas spat out.
“How dare you call me that?” She slapped him in the face hard.
Sally could hear the sound and saw the red mark that was left on his cheek from her hand.
“If the shoe fits. I had you followed for the past few weeks. My private investigator told me this morning after I left you had a man come over. He got some very interesting pictures of the two of you kissing and other positions. Let’s just say that these pictures will help me out in court.” Silas commented. Even though he hadn’t seen the pictures yet, he knew by Clyde’s tone that the pictures were what he needed to free himself from her once and for all.
“How dare you spy on me! That’s illegal and a total invasion of my privacy.” Jackie sputtered.
“It’s not when you’re my wife.”
“What do you expect me to do, you haven’t touched me in four years!” Jackie said, attempting to play the victim.
Silas didn’t let her fool him though, “You could have stayed faithful like I did, or at least you could have left me first before you slept with another man. Tell me Jackie how many men have you been with in the past four years? I only know of one, but I bet there are many others.” Silas asked.
Sally looked at the sadness that spread over his face when he asked. She hoped that Jackie wouldn’t make him feel worse, but had a feeling this woman was the evil and vindictive.
“That really is none of your business. If you really wanted me, you would have shown it. And you didn’t. Not by a long shot”
“On the contrary, it is my business. But I don’t really care, you can count on my lawyer contacting yours today. I don’t want anything to do with you anymore.”
Jackie slapped Silas once more and seethed, “You’ll pay for this in court.”
“No, I don’t think so. You will find that the judge will look at your cheating as he should: a total breach of our marriage contract. You know I should have done this years ago. Just enjoy the fact that I let you continue to spend my money while you fucked other men. It’s over now though.” Silas stated firmly.
Sally had called security by this time, and they entered the room looking around, unsure what exactly to do.
Silas looked at the men and told them, “Please escort Jackie on her way out and make sure she isn’t allowed back in. If she tries to, call the cops and have her arrested for trespassing.” He told them.
Jackie knocked their hands away, “I can leave on my own. You’ll pay for this Silas.” She said as they escorted her through the doors.
Sally felt like this was the sign she had prayed for the night before. How could anyone blame her for sleeping with this gorgeous man who was on his way to being single again?
