Chapter 33

Alex

There's something wrong with my little marrent! I don't know what it is, but I'll find out. I'm here in front of my notebook working, but looking forward to her arrival. The hours pass and nothing.

"Damn, where's Jackeline?" - I wonder.

I get up from my chair and start pacing. Was there a problem there at the barracks? I pick up my cell phone, check for a WhatsApp message... and nothing. Another thing that crossed my mind is did that asshole Michael kidnap her?

I hear a text message and go to look, believing it's Jack's message. I even have a smile on my face, but when I look at my cell phone screen, the message is as follows:

"Hey my Love. How are you doing?

I'm missing you so much!

And you, do you miss me?

I want to see you tonight. What do you think? ”

My God, how does this woman have the courage to text me?! Does she not have someone else to disturb? I don't think so, because if she had, she'd stay away from me. I have to find a way to get rid of this bitch. I call my lawyer and wait for him to answer. The call calls, calls and he doesn't answer, when I'm about to give up, I hear:

- Hello? — Humberto answers.

“It's me,” I reply.

- Some problem? he asks and I want to hit him.

- What do you think? I reply with irony.

“No, I know, Alex. But tell me what happened.

“Humberto, that woman has contacted me again,” I say almost hysterically.

- What she said? he asks.

— She texted me saying she misses her and had the nerve to ask if I miss her! And she even says she wants to see me today.

- What the hell! he grumbles.

— Yes It really sucks. I need to get this sorted out soon, Humberto,” I say.

— And let's go, Alex… — Humberto agrees. “I had an idea, but I don't think you're going to like it…” he tells me and I shudder.

"Oh, no..." I say, already imagining his suggestion.

- Yes that's right! – Humberto answers a little awkwardly.

— Is it the only option? I grumble.

“Yes, and I beg your pardon, my friend.

“I know it's not your fault. I'll confirm the date with that bitch. - I want to throw up.

“Do it as soon as possible,” he suggests.

“She wants to see me today, so she will,” I decide.

"How fast, you're in a hurry!" – Humberto exclaims in surprise.

"Yes, I want to get rid of her as soon as possible!" — I declare.

- And you are right. And where will the meeting be? he asks curiously.

— At the Plaza Hotel. I'll call now and book a room,” I warn.

— At what time? the lawyer wants to know.

— At 7 pm. What do you think? I ask, because we have to plan everything.

- Perfect. I will have the document ready, to which she agrees and leaves you and your children alone.

"It's what I want most!" - I reply, not waiting for the time to end this story.

“Okay, so let's meet at 6pm. So, I'll hand you the paperwork. Alex, you need to get her to sign the document and, if possible, it's good to record the conversation you're going to have,” he guides me.

— Okay, Bruno. I'll do everything we agreed, we'll meet at the Plaza Hotel, at 6 pm - I say and I'm anxious, because I can't wait to get rid of that woman.

“Agreed, until then. — Humberto ends the call.

I look at the clock, it's almost noon, and there's no sign of Jackeline's life. I'll call her, I think. But first I make the reservation at the hotel in the best room and answer Veronica's message:

“Okay, Veronica, see you later, I'll wait for you at the Plaza Hotel, for dinner at 7 pm. Get back to me, Alexandre Mendonça.”

As soon as I send the message, I feel like throwing up. God, how I want to get rid of this woman soon. I hear the message noise and see the madwoman's response:

"Hey my Love. I'm so happy to be invited to dinner! Of course I accept. I'll meet you there at the agreed time. From his girlfriend, Veronica Santos! ”

"It's today that I get rid of you!" I say to myself and flash my first smile since I left Jackeline at her job.

With my cell phone in my hands, I look for my little marrent's phone number, I'm very worried. I find it and make the call, I'm anxious, waiting for her to pick up.
