Chapter 444 What's Next: #12

To do this I turned to my buddy Jake and enlisted his help again. I called him instead of e-mailing. I asked him to talk to Janice and tell her that he had heard from me and I wanted to offer her a settlement in exchange for a divorce. The offer was a flat fifty thousand dollars. If she didn't take the offer she would never hear from me again and would never get any money from me. She tried to play innocent at first and demanded to know why I had left and why I wouldn't come home. That ended when Jake told her that I knew all about her and her boyfriend Brandon and her plan to divorce me. Janice knew that her game was over. She was still working as a waitress and struggling to get by so she accepted my offer. To do this I needed to return to Texas and hire a lawyer to draw up the papers. Caitlin wasn't pleased when I told her I was going. I explained to her that I needed to close that chapter of my life and promised her that I would return. I had planned on driving to the airport and leave my vehicle in long term parking but she insisted on taking me and wanted to be there when I got back. I think the fact that I was leaving my SUV and all my belongings except what I was taking in one suitcase made her feel a little better.
