live.
I asked her if Joey abused her; she’d said no. I asked her if he’d always mistreated her or had affairs on her with other women; she’d said no. I was his only mistress. Her reasoning was very simple.
She wanted to be happy; and rich, and she’d found a way to do both…through me.
The day came and just as she’d said would, with the money I’d given her and what little bit of dignity she had left…just like that she was gone.
“She left me Niveah. I don’t know where she is. It’s been three days since I’ve seen her and for some reason I know that I will never see her again. She left her ring on the bed, with a note. She even left the kids. She was bold enough to do the one thing that I had been dying to do for years,” Joey said into my ear.
It all seemed surreal in a sense to me.
How could you been in a relationship with someone that you hate or despise so much that you are willing to just drop off of the face of the earth just get away from them? And little did she know, according to Joey, all he’d been waiting on was for her to leave him anyway, why hadn’t they just divorced like normal people? With Silvia being a lawyer and all, I’m sure she could have found a way to make sure that she walked away with something but she hadn’t. I guess the way she saw it was that she’d get more money out of blackmailing me than she would by just simply divorcing Joey.
If you asked me, they were both crazy and they deserved each other.
I’ll admit it---I felt bad for Joey.
What in the heck was he going to do with two little girls?
What would he do with his life now that he was free?
Aside from feeling bad for Joey, I also felt bad for myself.
There was no way that I could go through with getting Joey killed; after all he had two little girls to take care of now, so, I was back to square one.
“Joey, I’m sorry to hear that. But things are going to be okay. Give it a little time,” I tried to encourage him.
“Now we can really be together. Niveah, this is our chance,” Joey said.
Of course it had crossed my mind; but my mind was made up.
Santana was all that I needed, and everything that I have ever wanted.
“Joey, we’ve had this conversation. I’ll give you a blood test when the baby comes; but I want to try to make things work with Santana. I have to give this marriage a fair shot.”
“What if its mine Niveah?” Joey asked.
“It won’t be Joey. But we will cross that bridge when we get there if we have to.”
Joey just breathed slowly in my ear.
I was trying to decide what to say next. With Joey’s temper, I knew that he would kill me if he ever found out that I’d helped with his wife’s disappearance; but I didn’t have a choice.
Now it was time to make a deal with him; or at least something like it.
“Look, it’s strange how everything has happened and maybe I should have held out a little while longer instead of getting married, but I didn’t. Now that I’m in it, I’ve had a change of heart. It’s not that I don’t love you---but I owe it to Santana to try. So what do we do Joey?”
I asked him.
I waited for a few minutes for Joey to respond.
“Okay Niveah; do what you have to do,” Joey said and hung up in my face.
My emotions let loose and I started to sob.
I felt bad for him, I really did.
And on top of that, I was feeling confused---again.
But before I had a chance to really sort through my thoughts and emotions Santana walked in the front door.
“Hey,” he smiled at me and put down his things. Hurriedly, I sat down the phone and smiled back. Santana walked closer to me and kissed my belly and then kissed my lips.
Just as he started to pull away from me, my phone began to ring.
“Who is J?” Santana questioned.
I gave him the finger and answered.
“Hi, is the business proposal all done? Good. Can I call you right back? My husband just walked in,” I said and hung up. Lord my ears were bleeding from the hundreds of curse
