“She took that Marilyn Riddley’s identity”

Calvin snapped at him.

“Right, I see you’re actually having a mental crisis of your own. I guess we’re pleading temporary insanity then. You don’t even know what to believe now, do you?”

Wil muttered as he yanked the chair out and sat down.

“The only way to resolve this quickly is to admit what you did, and apologise, say you were wrong about her, you were grief stricken, thought that she was like all the others that looked like Marrin.”

Wil muttered

“Though even that is going to push it, because you went to her, she did not come to you. You’re also going to have to pay damages, offer up compensation to not only her agent, but her as well.”

“I’m not giving her any more of my money, she took enough when she left,”

Calvin snapped.

“When she left you?”

Wil shook his head now.

“You’re freaking impossible right now, you divorced her, remember.”

He yelled at the man before him, trying to make him snap out of it.

“Get your f*****g head in the your bloody company, everything you game Calvin, or you’ll lose more than your money this time. You’ll worked so hard for, built and strived to achieve.

“it’ll all fall apart when your shareholders see you attacking your so-called wife, after she returned from the dead. What will they think? 1, your whole marriage to Marrin was a lie or 2, you’ve gone insane. Either way, your company will go down with you. Suck it up and apologise.”

He could see Calvin was fuming over there in his seat because of the way he was speaking to him. But Wil was the only one that could do it, and get away with it. He was not only the man’s lawyer, but his best friend and confidant. He knew him and all his secrets, especially those surrounding Marrin. sints (0/10)

His Dark Obsession

Calvin

He was literally having a crisis, it appeared, because he couldn’t even understand himself right at that very moment. He’d called her Marrin because he believed she was Marrin; everything about her to him was Marrin. Yet he’d just stated to Wil she had stolen an identity. Wil, he knew was right, he was unable to comprehend what was going on inside his own mind.

Because he loved and hated that woman at the same time. Everything that Will stated was true as well, regardless of if she was or wasn’t Marrin. He’d harmed that woman, and in public, and it was all caught on film, and it was still out there. Wil had shown it to him on his phone as he sat there in the police station Interview room. Will had requested that they be able to talk before his Interview. Again, the whole mess was blowing up all over the place.

Marilyn Riddley’s fans were in an uproar at what they had seen, and they were now sharing it on all their media outlets. It was no longer something he could just make go away, it was now out of his hands completely, people from all over the country were retweeting and sharing it on every platform out there.

He sat there and read the tweet from Lisa Stevens herself. And then there were now threads from actual reporters who’d been stationed at the hotel where they were staying, where Lisa herself had questioned, whether his wife was actually dead or had he divorced her? Because he called Marilyn, his ex??ife.

“You have to make a statement about that,”

Wil told him.

“They need to know the truth, that you and Marrin got divorced.”

“And just how are you going to explain the rest to them? My going to Italy and searching for her, the funeral I held?”

Calvin asked.

“Exactly what it was. You gave her that trip as part of the divorce settlement, and were horrified the plane crashed. You were there in the hope that she would be alright. You felt terrible for putting her on the plane, giving her that trip as part of the divorce settlement.”

“The funeral?”

Calvin asked.

“Again, the same. She had no family, so it was your duty as her only living kin, ex or not, to give her a funeral and pay your respects to her, when she couldn’t be found.”

Wil sighed,

“I can get all those details right to see you in a good light. You did nothing wrong, and you were frantic at the time, so that is all alright to be announced.”

“It’s going to bring up a lot of questions,”

Calvin murmured, and ones he wasn’t going to want to talk about either, like his reason for divorcing her in the first place.

“How are we to explain why we divorced in the first place?”

he muttered, he didn’t really want the truth coming out, people were going to judge him on the contact marriage, and then call him insane for divorcing the woman when he’d actually fallen in love with her. but opted to divorce her. They, he didn’t think, would understand his sincerity in the matter.

“Yes, it is, but it was a no??ontest divorce. You have your copy of it. We’ll publish it, all bar that back page where she made amendments”

“The reason for divorce?”

he asked now.

“Whatever you want it to be. Irreconcilable differences would be your best option without telling the truth of

His Dark Obsession the matter. State it was personal, and you don’t want to talk about it,”

Wil sighed.

Calvin even knew why the sigh. With all that was going on, they were all going to jump to the conclusion that he was a cruel brute behind closed doors, and everything they’d seen between him and Marrin was a lie, o show for the public only.

“I could tell them, I suppose, that it was a contract marriage, and the period was up,”

Calvin mused aloud after a moment’s thought. He didn’t really want that, but that would stop the questions that he didn’t want to answer.

“Oh, yes, do that,”
