“Damn, I probably would be hurt if I gave a fuck,” Cam replied.

“Last time Camden, what do you want?” Amy asked again.

“To see your ugly ass get fired,” Cam replied.

“Fired? You must be crazy. My husband started this company from the ground up with me by his side,” Amy said, laughing at his comment.

“Yeah, but he still didn’t make you a partner. I always wondered why you were still working, when you had a millionaire for a husband. Even after he died, I was surprised that you still worked, even though you more than likely didn’t have to. I never realized how smart my pops really was until my grandparents ran a few things down to me. Putting things in my grandparents’ name just so you couldn’t get access to it. Making you sign a prenup to ensure that you didn’t get anything that you didn’t come into the marriage with. That’s why you stayed after he made a baby on you. Your ass was broke, with nowhere else to go. You were so hung up on him cheating and you were doing your thing the entire time too. Now, you and your man can be in the unemployment line together.” Cam smiled.

“What the hell are you talking about?” Amy questioned.

“I’m talking about you and your boy toy setting me up to go to jail. I knew you were a dirty bitch, but that was low, even for you. I must admit, y’all were smart as hell though. Getting some unknown woman to post the bond and using my enemy to do the deed. I’m guessing you were the anonymous tipster who called the police and told them that I had drugs in my car. Had me fucked up for a while too, until shit started to unravel,” Cam smirked.

It took him a few days, but his grandfather had figured it all out. Preston Lewis, the man who had offered to get Maria’s son out of jail, was a lawyer at The Blaire Firm. He was also the man who Amy was rumored to be having an affair with for years. He was young and Amy took him under her wing. He was too scared to tell her no when she approached him for sex, for fear of losing his job. According to Preston, it was Amy who came up with the plan to set Cam up. When she saw Kamari and Demi arguing at the prison that day, she knew that Kamari was the right man for the job. She didn’t want to be seen, so she sent Preston to do all the dirty work for her. Now, Cam knew why Kamari had come to Demi’s job that day. It wasn’t to see her; it was to see Preston and Amy, the people who were responsible for him being free and Cam being locked up

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. Going to prison is just what you do. You don’t need any help from me to do that,” Amy chuckled nervously.

“Tell it to the judge. You better hope they don’t make a mistake and put you in the men’s prison,” Cam laughed as he looked over her manly-built body in her two-piece pants suit.

“Fuck you,” Amy snapped.

“Fuck you too, bitch.” Cam smiled.

“Get out of my office. Unlike you, who was handed his riches, I have to work for a living.” Amy frowned.

“I know you do, with your broke ass. You tried to stop me from getting my father’s money and I was entitled to it more than you were,” Cam replied.

“I’ve wasted enough time on you and your foolishness. See yourself out, so I can finish my work,” Amy said as she pointed to the door.

“Bitch, are you retarded? You’re fired. You don’t have no work to do!” Cam yelled.

“What’s going on in here?” Carrington asked when he walked into the office.

“That’s what I’d like to know. Your grandson seems to be having a mental meltdown or something,” Amy replied.

“I keep trying to tell step mommy that she’s fired. She doesn’t seem to believe me. Maybe she’ll listen to you. Tell her that she’s fired, so she can be on her way,” Cam said, right as two police officers walked in and looked at Amy.

“The very sight of you disgusts me. Now, I see why my son protected his investments and kept you out of his financial affairs. And Camden is right, you’re fired,” Carrington said, doing as his grandson had requested.

“Told your stupid ass. And you’re going to jail,” Cam replied, like he was too happy to deliver the bad news.

Amy looked out in the hallway and saw Preston standing there handcuffed, with two more officers standing with him. She already knew what was up and she didn’t offer any resistance as she was read her rights and cuffed as well.

“My only regret is not ordering your murder, instead of your arrest,” Amy said with venom dripping from her voice.

“And my only regret was not doing this sooner,” Cam said as he cleared his throat and spit in her face.

“You bastard!” Amy yelled as she was led away, along with her lover.

They could hear her yelling and screaming all throughout the office, making other employees step out of their offices to see what was going on. Amy knew the law well enough to know that she was in a world of trouble. Not only was she going to have a criminal record, but she was sure to be disbarred once the word got out. Her hate for her dead husband’s outside child had drove her to insanity. She was willing to do anything to see Cam in jail or worse.

“Are you okay, Cam? I’m sorry that you had to go through all of this,” his grandfather said as he touched his shoulder.

“I’m better than ever,” Cam replied with a smile.

“Yeah, me too. I’ll be even better when my great-grandson gets here,” Carrington replied as they walked out of the office.

“You won’t have to wait for long. One more week and my family will be complete,” Cam replied as he followed him out.
