Filed To Story: The Lingering Kiss of Farewell Novel
Clearly, the principal had copied his booklet and then distributed it to the children of the school to take home to their parents. That could be the only way Marilyn had gotten her hands on it. She didn’t work at the school, he knew that. It was also likely that whatever Wil had been doing with Marilyn and her lawyer, or saying to them.
Now made Wil out to be a liar in Marilyn’s eyes and Wil didn’t like that. Calvin headed for the man’s office even as he was trying to think of a way to fix this, and get Wil to stay put here in the company, as well as his friend and attorney, something right this very minute he didn’t know if he could do.
Calvin tracked Wil all the way to his office only to hear the man’s doop bang shunt, not unlike how his had been slammed a minute ago. It also wasn’t something Wil did. He was normally calm, cool and collected, very level??eaded and 95% of the time able to just stare at Calvin with annoyance, sometimes disappointment, but rarely slammed doors.
Calvin saw Janine flinch and gasp at the display of anger, It had whipped her head around to Wil’s door, then Wil was right there once more telling Janine to get him packing boxes he was resigning. He looked right at Calvin and just banged back into his office uncaring that he’d heard him.
Janine looked from the closed door to Calvin, worriedly she knew that Wil had been here since Calvin had opened this company. The man was a major shareholder, retained 30% of them while Calvin held 51 percent; the other 19% was distributed to the public, bought and sold by whoever wanted to own shares in the company.
“Don’t do that, Janine,”
he told her as he walked to Wil’s door.
“I royally ticked him off, it will be fine. I’ll sort it out,”
he stated, and she nodded to him as he pushed open Wil’s door and then stepped inside.
It had barely been half a minute since Wil had come into his office and he was already pulling law books off a shelf and stacking them on his deak.
“Calm down, Wil.”
Calvin stated
“I have breached nothing at all. I’ve also not gone near Marilyn once.”
“Bullshit.”
Wil grated out and yanked more books from the shelf and banged them onto his desk. t’s not. I’ve been here all this time,”
Calvin told him calmly.
“You know this yourself. I’ve been working with Kelly closely, all last week, and before that attending business as usual.”
Wil turned and looked right at him.
“Yes, I know, so who did you send Calvin? To track Marilyn down, and I dare say you’re keeping an eye on her. Regardless that you’re here, and now she herself knows this. That is a breach of your contract with her, to have her drop the charges against you. She agreed to that on the condition you left her alone. Which you clearly haven’t.”
Wil grated out at him.
“I warned you, Calvin, that I would quit.. I also bloody told you what I was doing, what my end game was even. So, you’d stay away from her, yet still you went and had someone else stalk that woman, didn’t you?”
Wil demanded.
Calvin sighed out loud this time.
“Yes,”
he admitted.
“You were up to something, where she was concerned and weren’t willing to tell me the truth, so… I did what I had to, to find out was all.”
Wil stood glaring at him.
“Well Calvin, Liam informed me your charges will all be reinstated, and you’re going to wind up in court. All it will take is Marilyn to say yes to that when Liam brings it up to her this afternoon.”
“It won’t happen Wil. She is Marrin. I have actual proof this time”
Calvin stated, and he did he had DNA on the boys and her. He’d been completely faithful to Marrin, and not gone near any women in years after her disappearing act. So there was the proof that she was Marrin. Only Marrin could have birthed his children.
“Proof?”
Wil leaned on his desk now and stared hard at Calvin.
“How did you get that? Marrin’s DNA isn’t on file, so tell me, Calvin, just how you can prove she’s Marrin beyond a doubt in a courtroom. Because that’s where it’s going to have to be proved. Tell me right now, how you’re going to explain to a judge how you can prove it?”
“The twin boys she has, they are mine.”
Calvin stated simply.
“They are seven, have black hair and green eyes, just like I do.”
“Hmm, in a court that will be circumstantial evidence at best. You’re just making an assumption they’re yours because of their hair and eye colour. That is not solid proof.”
Wil refute him instantly.
“Oh, come on Wil, look at her, look at the boys and their age.”
“Not proof, circumstantial only. You’re not registered as their father on their birth certificate. I have already verified that, they also weren’t born in the state of Texas and hold the state of Virginia birth certificates, which state father unknown… So again prove it to me that they are yours!”
Wil stated and folded his arms across his chest.
“Imagine Calvin, I’m the judge up there on the bench, and you have to provide me with absolute proof, because everything so far is still circumstantial.”
Calvin frowned at him
“DNA test will prove it.”
He watched Wil half smile at him, Though it wasn’t friendly by any means, Wil was in courtroom mode, Calvin realised.
“If she’s willing to have, them tested, or I as the judge, see a fit reason to order it to be done.”
Wil shot right back.
“And that is not going to see her drop the charges, it is not a defense of why you sent someone to stalk her or her children either.”
