The Secret Billionaire and His Substitute Bride

Chapter 7: Jail!

Pov Calista

I almost ruined everything by opening my mouth. Two weeks was too long I need that money sooner. I would go see them in the next couple of days. The first thing to do is I have to clean this place. Even my shitty attic room was cleaner than here.

I swear I'm not sure how men survive they are hopeless and can't fend for themselves. I started looking for cleaning supplies. Nothing seriously I swear my eye was twitching. I decided to change then I grabbed my phone searing for the closest store. Perfect a big chain store! 15 minutes away. I grabbed my coupon book and bag. I started my walk I had my misery on following the directions to the store.

Once there I got everything we needed food, drinks, cleaning supplies, and bathroom and bedroom stuff. I got a blowup mattress new sheets and blankets and pillows. I spent exactly 60 dollars mostly for the alcohol and mattress. Everything else was free for the most part. With my cart full I head back. I spent the next hours cleaning and I found a bunch of unused furniture I brought in a love seat, a bookshelf, a coffee table, and another small dresser.

I arranged everything I made a makeshift curtain to split the room in half. unpacked. I was proud of myself. Once I finished everything I was all sweaty and gross I looked at the time 8 pm my stomach was growling. I showered and put on some yoga pants on and a tank top no bra. Made my way to the kitchen with the fridge fully I quickly made a sandwich and grabbed a light beer.

I didn't drink often but when I did I hated wine and fruit drinks. I preferred a light beer or a hard seltzer. Plus they were cheaper I went over to the couch to eat turned on the tv and searched till I found a crime show to watch. True crime is a huge guilty pleasure of mine. After I finished I washed my dish and started a recycling can. We could sell these for money.

I grabbed another can of beer and headed for the couch again and grabbed the new fluffy throw blanket. I looked at the time 10:57 pm I kept telling myself I was not waiting for Ethan to come back but I was lying to myself I had responded out of anger and told him I hope he didn't die. It was getting late and even though this is just a business deal as he stated. I was still worried I knew he said what he said because he had probably asked around and Jade was very loose with her body. I just thought it would be different but it wasn't all guys are the same he would eventually find a way to destroy me too I knew.

I don't know why I had this delusion that we could make this work. He was beautiful and from meeting him in the church he seemed decent enough. I had a feeling he was just as damaged and broken as me.

I was scared awake by my phone ringing. I guess I had fallen asleep on the couch the clock showed 2:40 am. What the hell I picked thinking it may be Ethan.

"Hello?"

"Hello, am I speaking with Mrs.Chase?"

"Mmm yes... who's asking?"

"Sorry to call you this late Mrs.Chase my name is officer Raker. We picked up your husband Ethan Chase. On a disorderly conduct charge. About an hour ago you may come down and pay the fine and we release him into your custody or he can spend the night. This is a courtesy call because of his dad." he stated.

What the actual f**k! he's in jail.

"Okay thank you. What prescient is he being held?" I said

"20th prescient" he responded

"Okay thank you, officer I'm on my way." I said and hung up

Unbelievable he's in jail! I went and grabbed a hoodie while calling an Uber. It would be here in 15 minutes. I got my bag and cash. I should just leave his ass in there.

I went out and waited for the Uber to get there because it was so late I triple-checked the driver's name car and plates. We were on our way 30 minutes later. I was standing in front of the police station I wanted to turn and leave but I couldn't.

I walk in and go to the Front Desk and said why I was there. The person calls for an officer. A few moments later an officer came to get me. It was the same one that had called me. He explained the fine $250 but that he was lucky to be a Chase because he had gotten in a fight with another person but that person is not pressing charges. For the love of god! I'm gonna kill him. He took me to the holding cell. Ethan was laying there with arms behind his head. Eyes closed "Mr.Chase your wife is here to take you home." called while opening the door.

Ethan shot up his eyes wide. I asked if I could go in and get him the officer said yes. I went in and as kindly as I could said "Come on Ethan, let's go home" offering my arm for support. He got up I could smell the booze on him. He surprised me by grabbing my face and kissing me on the lips hard. I had to remember we were in public. So I softly pulled away and said "Not here let's get home first" I said.

He had a huge cheesy smile on his face and he said "Promise? have I told you that you so f**king hot." he said slurring a bit and then looked at the officer and said "See my wife... I told you she was hot." he said

I started walking with him I apologized to the officer. He then directed me to the paying desk. I made my way with Ethan struggling as he was heavy. I found a bench and sat him down telling him not to move while I went to pay his fine. I had just finished and was putting my wallet away when I heard "Cali, Cali!" from a familiar voice. I turned and saw Paul he looked drunk too. He pulled away his driver and ran to me. He grabbed me and hugged me trying to go in for a kiss. I turned my face quickly He got my cheek. I pushed him off me. "Paul wtf is wrong with you? I'm married." I said

I was disgusted I heard yelling from behind me it was Ethan "You want to go again you little s**t! I should have kicked you're a** harder. Don't f**king touch my wife" he was yelling while officers were holding him back.

"Paul I can't do this I have to go!" I said "Cali you gave him my ring! he was out f*****g around with wh0r3s will you were how knows where." he said and kept going "He doesn't deserve you your too good for him. You should be with me married to me. I f**ked up once. Come back your life will be so much better with me."

I looked at Paul like I'd everyone I know a total self-centered narcissistic a**hole did he think he was right?

At that moment something took over me I yelled "Seriously Paul! you f**ked my step sister and according to her she is carrying your child. You don't deserve the ring I made with so much love." I said and then bam! I felt my fist connect with his face. Oh, f**king hell I punched him in the face hard in a police station while bailing my fake husband out. He stumbled back and looked shocked at what I did I quickly said "That's what you deserve." I said and turned around I walked to Ethan. Paul was still calling after me. When I got to him I grabbed his face gave him a loving kiss and said "let's go before I get arrested too." I said.
