Just One Kiss Before Divorcing Me (Martin and Calvin) novel Chapter 38

CH 38

Calvin

He had personally called ahead, and spoke directly to the Hospital Director and told him that he was sending over a patient that needed emergency medical treatment, stating her name was Marilyn Riddley, and that he not only wanted her to have the best doctors/surgeons, but a full VIP suite for her recovery as well. That he would be the one paying for all her medical bills, and that he wanted her to have the best of everything.

He donated a lot of money to this hospital over the years and that new wing of theirs, where the VIP Suites were. He’d also helped out with the funding of that. He knew the hospital director, they were seen at charity events and other functions together all the time.

It was all he could do after what he’d done to the woman. Calvin may not have actually pushed her down those stairs but her falling down them. That was entirely his fault, and he did know that. He’d been completely shocked at not finding that strawberry birthmark of Marrin’s where he’d expected it to be, and just instantly let go of the woman as she’d struggled to make him let go.

Let go without any thought as to what would happen if and when he let go, while she was trying to make him let go. And she’d gone tumbling down the stairs, and she was now actually really injured, and in need of full medical attention. She was unconscious and likely had broken bones. There was definitely a head wound.

Many reporters had called out questions about what had happened to Marilyn when they’d seen him and Wil leaving the hotel, some yelling about whether he’d attacked her once again during the mediation! That they were all supposed to be in. He was seen as the bad guy already. None of them had even considered that she could have fallen all by herself. Because he was right there.

Wil had stated “No comment.” And Calvin had known to keep his mouth closed all the way to Wil’s car and even when in it.

He’d wanted to tell Wil to take them directly to the hospital but couldn’t. Wil had already talked to that detective, and he was expecting them. He had also sent other officers to his home, office and the private airstrip to make sure he didn’t leave the state or country. He’d taken calls from the office security, and his penthouse doorman had just called him about officer’s there looking for him. It wouldn’t surprise him if they’d already contacted the public airports to give them his photo and try to keep him on the ground as well. They were moving very fast to contain him if he tried to flee.

He wasn’t going to leave, he had actually done something very wrong, and he now understood that. He would pay for all her medical bills and recovery as well. Though he had no idea of how long that would take, but seeing as it was clearly his fault, he would sort something out.

an looked Detective Pullman was standing outside the front of the police station waiting for them, and 1 right at his watch as if to say he was actually counting the minutes, before issuing an arrest warrant for him. That man had an issue with him. What it was, Calvin didn’t know, but he understood that detective would have followed through.

Calvin allowed himself to be questioned. He didn’t get angry about any of it and gave his statement of what happened in that stairwell as well. Detective Pullman just sat and stared at him, after he relayed the event, and then he shook his head and stated “So you have also now sexually assaulted Miss Riddley as well?” “Harassed,” Wil stated before Calvin could get any words out.

The detective looked right at Wil but said nothing, and Calvin knew why. He already knew that harassment and assault and bodily harm were all different things. They were three different things: assault didn’t mean even having to touch one, it came down to how the other person felt, did they have fear of their assailant.

Bodily harm was the act of physically touching one against another’s wishes, that followed the assault and was why it was always written as an assault causing grievous bodily harm. Harassment was what came before the assault even, him tracking her and demanding things of her that she didn’t want, before he laid

hands upon her.

Calvin already knew this line of questioning was going to happen. Wil had told him it would. 7 guess you could say I did,” Calvin admitted, because he was certain when or if Marilyn woke up, that would be her statement of the events that led to her fall. “I was trying to see if she was Marrin, who has a birthmark on her left rib cage, that was all, I was not out to harm her or touch her inappropriately.” He stated honestly.

“So just humiliate her instead,” Detective Pullman stated with a nod, “By making her expose her bare skin to a stranger, that she, from my recollection, doesn’t even know. Thinks of you as her stalker, I now believe. You forced her into a corner, in a place there would be no one to see what you did, and made her show you parts of her body against her will, that she had no reason to do at all. Right?”

“I guess you could say it like that, if you want to arrest me,” Calvin stated right back. He’d twisted his words, because Marily had gone into that stairwell of her own accord, something Calvin had stated in his statement.

“So, Mr Reeves… did you find what you were looking for on her body? Is Marrin Reeves‘ birthmark on Marilyn Riddley?” the detective asked him.

“Don’t answer that Calvin. It’s a leading question,” Wil stated.

The detective raised an eyebrow at Wil and half smiled, “I’ll take that as a no then. But I’m certain when I question Miss Riddley, she’ll answer the question for me, even show me or the female officer that I’ll take with me to verify if there is or isn’t a birthmark on her left ribcage.”

“Now what exactly did Marrin’s birthmark look like?” he was asked.

“Don’t answer that either,” Wil stated. “Marrin’s personal appearance is not in question here.”

“Hmm, I’m glad to see you understand the seriousness of the situation. You’re paying for everything that just shows your guilt. Everything now will depend on whether she wakes up or not. As to what charges will be laid against you.

Calvin didn’t say anything at all. There was no point, though he did know Wil was once again going to try and arrange for a new sit–down so they could come to some sort of agreement and keep him out of court. He was going to have to apologise once more and really mean it this time.

“I hope detective that doesn’t happen. She has two children, from my understanding. You shouldn’t want that or allude to wanting that.” Calvin had grated out and walked away. That detective obviously had a clear dislike of him and wanted to see him charged with something official.
