Fifty Shades of Connor [GirlxGirl]

Chapter 68

"Listen Jane Connor, you didn't marry me to submit to you. I have no obligation to be commanded to do anything, now I will do the interview and I will clear our names. I don't care if you're on board or not. This is something I have to do, call it a peace of mind" I said as I let go.

"What did I do to deserve this abuse?" Said Jane as she pulled me towards her as she bit her lip.

"You married into it" I whisper as I push her away.

Jane then snickered as I walked away. I then headed upstairs as I washed my face, why can't you understand why I have to do this Jane?

"Kate" Said Jane as she walked in.

"What is it?" I say as I turn around.

"Don't do this, let our lawyers handle this. You know Martinez is also involved in this. If her name gets leaked then it's gonna be a problem. You don't know how powerful she is.. we don't want another enemy after us" She said.

"The fact that you're telling me this right now, it proves you don't understand why I'm doing this" I say.

"Then help me understand, why can't you see this as an expose?" She says.

"Because it's not" I say.

"Why believe what this Leona girl is telling you?" She says.

"I believe it's the right thing to do. I have no reason not to believe her" I say.

"Where was this confidence earlier?" She asked.

"After talking to you, I made my decision" I said.

"You don't know the tabloids like I do" She says.

"Jane I'm doing this, I have to" I say as I look at her.

"Don't" She said.

"Your opinion is acknowledged but I'm doing it" I say.

"You'll regret doing this Kate" She says.

"Then it's my burden to bear. I need to get this incident behind me, I don't need another reminder of that" I say.

"I do not support this" She said.

"You don't need to" I said.

She then walked closer to me as she grabbed me by the shoulder and turned me around.

"I'm not happy with your decision but I'll respect it because I love you, we're in this together" She says as she kissed me and headed outside.

I was left there with a surprised look on my face. I was expecting her to be more dramatic, knowing Jane, she'd throw a bitch fit and sleep on the couch. You may not understand why I'm doing this Jane but this time you'll have to trust me.

At 7 AM

I woke up as my face adjusted to the light. Again I had a bad dream about that incident. I gulped as I sit on the bed as my hands trembled in fear.

"Fear is not evil. It tells you what your weakness is. And once you know your weakness, you can become stronger as well as kinder.." I say as a tear escaped my eye.

"That's beautiful" Says Jane as she walked in.

"Jane!" I exclaim as I wipe my eye.

"What's wrong?" She asked as she hugged me.

I then told Jane about my bad dream as she hugged me.

"It'll be okay" She said as she hugged me tightly.

.............

I did my morning routine as I headed to work.

"Have a great day at work" Says Jane as she kissed me.

"Jane" I say as I look at her.

"What is it baby?" She asked.

"I'm arranging a meeting with Leona tomorrow. I'm going to tell her what exactly happened.." I say to her.

"Are you sure there's nothing I can do to change your mind?" She asked.

"I'm afraid not" I say as I touch her face.

"Then I'll have to trust you" She says as she holds my hand.

I then smiled as I head up into my office as Anna greeted me.

"Made your decision?" She asked.

"I did, I texted Josh. He should be here soon" I say.

"He's already in your office" Says Anna.

"What!?" I exclaim as I open the door to see Josh.

"Kate!!!" He yelled in excitement.

"Come on Anna" I say as she followed me inside.

"So?" Asked Josh as I sat down.

"I'm gonna do it" I say.

"Great" Says Anna.

"Are you sure?" Says Josh.

"There's so much I want to say about that incident" I say.

"I really believe this will help you" Says Anna.

"I've been having these bad dreams about that incident lately, like it's haunting me. I figured it was a sign, do the right thing" I say.

"I'll support you no matter what" Said Josh.

"Wish Jane felt the same way" I sighed.

"She didn't support you?" Asked Anna.

"Quite the opposite but I know deep down she believes in me" I say.

"It's the right thing to do Kate, doing this interview will be killing two birds with one stone, we need to let people know the things that were going on and the awful things that were done to you" Said Anna as she clenched her fist.

"What are you going to tell them, gotta be careful with the incriminating details" Says Josh.

"Yeah I have an idea about what to say, I'll tell them about Martinez and Adelyn, all the details, omitting a few" I say.

"Great, then it's settled" Says Anna.

I then did a dry run with them, Josh interviewed me and I answered the questions and went into great detail. It took about an hour but the dry run was done.

"Damn, that was good" Says Josh as he blew a sigh of relief.

"Think it'll work?" I asked.

"Yeah, that works fine" Says Anna.

"Now to make a few calls" I say.

............

"Hello?" Said Leona as she picked up.

"Hey Leona, it's Kate. I'll do the interview" I say.

"You will? Great, that's amazing" She said.

"Be here tomorrow at 10 am, we can do the interview in the conference room" I say to her.

"Thank you, Kate. You're doing the right thing" She said.

"I hope so" I say.

"Well, see you tomorrow Mrs. Connor" Says Leona as I hung up.

I hear a knock as someone entered my office. I see Martinez. What is she doing here?
