Jeff had been calling Melly but she did not pick any of the calls. The doctor said she was recuperating, and due for discharge. He was running out of time and had to do this fast. Then he sent a text message: Hey, my love. I tried reaching you on your cell but no one picked. I was about coming down to LA to join you but something popped up. The arrangement with Kim cannot work out. I am sorry but I could not. I can’t go into details now and please, delete this text after you read it. I have reached a decision and I trust you can take care of the kids. Fahad will guide you on how to run the company. Whatever happens, my love, you did not shoot Steve. I repeat, no matter what happens, you did not. He was struggling with you when I came back and I shot him, period. Delete this mess
