Chapter 285

Cheyenne dreaded Jon’s homecoming. Dot had called and asked if she should come over. Cheyenne thanked her but refused. She didn’t want anyone present when Jon came home.

She had read the article, how in the name of God did this author know about Jon’s ultimatum? The paternity test? Jon was going to blame her for it. She just had this creepy feeling that this person must have heard it when she and Dot were discussing it. How was she going to explain it to Jon?

She felt a cold hand pressing her heart as she heard Jon car stop later that night. She didn’t go down to greet him but waited for him in the room.

A tired Jon opened the door. His eyes were blue glittering jewels as he walked in. Seeing the magazine on the bed, he lifted his gaze slowly to meet her eyes.

He read fear and uncertainty in her eyes, bulging his fists as he stared at her.

‘Jon, I don’t know how these pictures came out in public.”

“How do they know about a private conversation between us Cheyenne? I thought I told you not to talk to someone about it. Did you tell Dorothea?”

Her gaze fell to her hands as she nodded.

“Fuck Cheyenne! Don’t you know that you never discuss private things like that in public and what the fuck were you thinking telling Dorothea about it? Now everybody knows you screwed my best friend and that you might be carrying his babies. The band whore and me the fucking idiot for marrying you.” His face took on an ugly look.

Her head snapped up at his icy remark.

“Is that how you see me Jon. A whore? Oh wait.. I am a whore, your whore, you paid for me right? I guess I’m Richie’s slut then at least he didn’t pay for me…he got me for free. You really don’t need to be the idiot Jon. YOU forced me back into your life, not me.”

Jon reached her with an amazing speed and for a moment she thought he was really going to hit her.

‘Don’t ever say that again. Do you understand me?!”

“Oh sure you are the only one with the privilege to call me a whore. Jon will we ever work through this?”

“I’m trying Cheyenne.”

“You are not trying hard enough, Jon. Why are you doing this? For the babies? Are you scared these babies are yours and I disappear with them? Be honest with yourself..”

He grabbed her by the arms, shaking her lightly, a desperate look in his eyes.

“The thought of you and Richie together, drives me out of my fucking mind! Tell me one thing Cheyenne is he a better lover than I, could he make you scream and moan like I do?”

Tears rolled down her cheeks.

“Listen to yourself Jon, you are so obsessed with this. Why don’t you just listen to me? I’ve told you the truth before, just believe in me.”

‘You haven’t answered me, Cheyenne…”
