Just One Kiss Before Divorcing Me (Martin and Calvin) novel Chapter 30

CH 30

Wil

He couldn’t help but rant at Calvin during the car trip to the police station, about not thinking about the consequences of his actions. “It’s Marrin, I tell you,” Calvin had snapped from the back seat of the car. “Look at that damned book next to you, her handwriting is in it.”

“That is not proof, and I have nothing to compare it to either, so how would I know?” He’d muttered “Even if she is, by some miracle chance, Marrin, look at what you just did to the woman. Who was supposedly the love of your life? That’s how this town thinks of her and you, the perfect loving couple. I do believe the two of you were referred to as the Dream Couple of Houston. Now you’ve gone and attacked and threatened her, when seeing her for the first time. Seen to be a real good husband now aren’t you.”

“After what she did to me,” Calvin grated out.

“What you allege she did to you, there is no proof of that to be brought to a court. It’s alleged by you only. Can you actually prove that she did that to you without a doubt? No, you can’t.” Wil muttered. “And what if my theory is the right one, and your wrong about her..then you, Calvin, just assaulted the woman you actually love, for nothing but your alleged thoughts. You need to be smart about this, be remorseful for your actions right now. That is what needs to be seen by the police, by this woman that you think but have no physical proof of, is Marrin.”

“It is Marrin, I know her, it is her.” Calvin muttered from the backseat.

“To be honest with you, Calvin, I don’t bloody care right this minute if she is or is not. You just assault two women in public for all to see. Shot yourself in the foot, and I don’t know if I can get you out of this unscathed. Regardless of if she is or isn’t Marrin..

“Your theory about what she did to you, means she’s vindictive and spiteful, and therefore will now be gunning for you with all she’s got. You know how smart she is then if my theory is correct, you just lost any chance of ever having her by your side again. She’ll never trust you now!

Calvin it was clear couldn’t see straight where Marrin was concerned. The man was more obsessed with the fact that Marrin had just vanished from his life than he’d actually realised. He had managed to actually convince himself, Wil now understood, that Marrin was not only alive, but also out there doing things to inflict pain on him.

Though why he thought that? Wasn’t explainable in Wil’s eyes. She’d left and never come back. Yes, that was a fact. But she’d never once shown her face to the world since the day she disappeared. Just stayed gone. She wasn’t out to hurt him. In all likelihood, she had truly believed he didn’t care about her at all.

That like she’d told him, Calvin was kicking her out of the country, so she had left like he wanted her to, ar just stayed away.

It wasn’t to hurt the man, it was likely because she was heartbroken and thought it was actually what he wanted. Marrin probably thought she’d given him what he wanted; her gone from his life permanently. Only the past eight years had left the man bitter and obsessive, and dealing as harshly as he could with anyone that looked like her. He was punishing all of them and for what? Because he’d stupidly ruined his own life, had divorced the woman he loved, and she’d believed he’d wanted that, and so had vanished away from

him.

That man now sitting in the police station was more than angry, but it was likely he was angry at himself, and he couldn’t fix it. Unlike a computer programme he developed, he couldn’t delete or rewrite the code of

his life’s biggest mistake. Couldn’t take back what he’d done to himself. He’d have lost Marrin either way, and deep down inside Calvin knew it.

If she’d gotten on those flights, she’d have died in the plane crash in Italy, and her death would be at his hands, and her not getting on that plane had seen her vanish into thin air. Again, his fault because he’d divorced her against Wil’s concerns about it. He’d warned him many times it wasn’t the right way to go.

What Calvin didn’t realise as he sat over there in that chair furning away, was what he’d actually done if that author was Marrin: He’d physically harmed her, stalked her and been menacing towards her to the point she’d been scared of him. That he’d assaulted the woman he actually loved deep down inside, and probably wanted

back, as well.

If she was Marrin and pretending not to be, she was going to hate him and his behaviour towards her. If she was Marrin but had no memory of who she was, then he’d just attacked her new persona, and that woman would now hate him as well. Getting her memories back would not obliterate what Calvin had just done. So, if she got her memories back, she’d see him in a whole new light, one that showed her what she actually believed; that he was cruel and didn’t want her around.

If, by some bloody miracle, Marrin had actually tricked all of them, for three whole years; which Wil just couldn’t fathom, then she would have her lawyers come at him, and this very angry man before him, was going to have to pay her a large sum of money in damages, and his claim she robbed him of millions, well he’d be adding to that.

Calvin was bitter because of all the women that came out of the woodwork, and tried to trick him into believing they were his wife, not that any of them could, because none of them knew about his divorce. They didn’t have all the facts about that perfect loving couple.

But somewhere down the line Wil now saw, Calvin had twisted his memories of Marrin, and turned her into a gold digger that was just out for his money. Even though he’d been the one to state, she never spent a cent, and left everything behind.

Wil believed she’d just taken what Calvin had given her in the settlement, everything Calvin had willingly offered her, so he had given those things to her. She simply hadn’t wanted the house itself because she honestly believed she’d get nothing if she’d signed those papers and allowed him to pay her out after it was

divorce papers, she’d have gotten nothing at all. Marrin hadn’t taken him for millions, Calvin had willingly given it to her, because she loved him and they were going to remarry and live happily ever after. What was hers was his, and what was his would be hers. It hadn’t mattered to him at the time.

“You know Calvin, you can’t just sit here and say nothing at all,” he murmured.

“Yes I can, it’s my right to remain silent,”

identity, and you’re going to put her in prison for it. Which is it? Is she Marrin or an impostor? Because if she’s Marrin you can’t say she stole her identity and toss her in jail. Because she’s bloody Marrin.” Wil grated
