Seducing My Boss

Chapter 28

-Week Later-

We were getting ready for my parent's sentencing. I was nervous to be around them again, i mean the last time i seen them i got shot. We were just about to walk out of the door when my phone started ringing.

"Hello?" I asked not recognizing the number.

"Mrs Lexy Harrison?" A man's voice asked on the other line.

"Yes this is she.."

"I'm Detective Jones, i'm in charge of your case. I just called to inform you that there will not be a sentencing today. Your father hung himself in his cell this morning, and when your mother found out she had a mental breakdown and was threatening to kill herself too so she's currently being held in a psychiatric facility." He said calmly. I didn't know what to do. I was pissed off, but i also felt numb.

I was pissed off because the coward wouldn't get what he deserved. He took the easy way out, he didn't pay for anything he's ever done to me and i'm angry as hell for it. I'm pissed off that my mother is trying to pull the same shit to get out of punishment as well. I know that she's not getting an attempted murder charge like my father was but she was still getting charged for being an accomplice and for possession of drugs. Because they both had Meth on them when they were arrested. And i'm numb because i know i should feel something from hearing about my father killing himself but i don't. I don't feel any sadness, i don't feel any remorse or guilt, nothing. This is going to sound horrible of me but i'm kind of glad because i won't have to deal with him ever again.

"Mrs. Harrison? Are you there?" Detective Jones asked in concern.

"Y-yes....do you know when she will be sentenced?" I asked quietly.

"I don't. We can't sentence her until she's in her right mind and isn't having suicidal thoughts. She will remain in a heavily guarded criminal psychiatric facility until she's able to stand sentencing." He explained.

"Thank you Detective Jones." I sighed and hung up the phone, Zayne was looking at me in confusion. His hand still on the doorknob.

"What's going on?" He asked.

"There isn't going to be a sentencing today." I said while looking at him.

"What?! Why?!" He asked angrily.

"My father hung himself in his cell this morning. When my mother found out she had a mental breakdown and was threatening to commit suicide as well. He said she is being held in a heavily guarded criminal psychiatric facility until she's in the right mind to be able to stand sentencing." I explained to him everything that Detective Jones said.

"I'm sorry, baby. I know you just wanted this to be over already."

"I'm pissed off! That piece of shit took the easy way out, he's not going to pay for what he did." I exclaimed barely able to contain my anger.

"That's true, but at least he can't hurt you anymore." Zayne said softly.

"God i can't stand them! I just want this to be over so i never have to think about either one of them again." Zayne came over and wrapped his arms around me tightly, trying to bring me some comfort and calm me down from my angry state of mind.

"Everything is going to be okay, babe." He reassured me softly.

"I know...this is just such bullshit. What are we supposed to do now? You took off of work for this sentencing, and i'm officially off bed rest so i'm missing my first day back at work as well.." I mean we could always go back to work, but i just don't feel like it. Not after this shitty news.

"Well, the good thing is we have the whole day to play hookie now. We can do whatever we want." He smiled at me and i returned it weakly.

"Can we get out of this damn house? I know i was only on bed rest for two days but i feel like if i spend another second in here i'm going to lose my shit." I glared around our house and Zayne laughed.

"Sure, babe. What do you want to do?" He asked.

"Go get ice cream!" I exclaimed. We left to go get ice cream and spend the day together.

In all honesty this is all i need. To spend time with my husband, just the two of us, no obligations to anyone, and no stress. When we got to the ice cream place Zayne went up to order while i found us a table. A few minutes later he came back with S'mores ice cream for me and a Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream for himself. We spent our time laughing and talking about things that didn't matter but somehow meant the world to me all at the same time. We fed each other ice cream like the disgustingly sweet couple we are, laughed, took selfies together, and when we finished we decided to just go for a walk with no destination in mind.

"Thank you, babe. This is exactly what i needed today." I said smiling up at him and squeezing his hand gently.

"Anytime, my love. I would do anything to make you happy." He gave me an affectionate look.

"I love you so damn much. I don't know how i got so lucky to have the most amazing man i've ever met in my life fall in love with me."

"I'm the lucky one, baby." He disagreed. "You've changed my life from the moment you walked into my office all sassy. I love you more than life itself, i'm so glad you agreed to be my wife, i'm truly the luckiest man in the world." We walked hand in hand around town, walked down around the lake and then eventually started our walk back to the car to go home when the sun started to set.

We may not have done anything super special today, but as long as he was beside me it felt like the most amazing day of my life. Zayne has a way of making everything seem perfect though. We could be doing the most simple thing and it will always feel like the world to me. Maybe that's just what love does. It doesn't matter what you do as long as you have that someone special beside you making life better.
