Chapter 113 - Cheers to Comeuppance
Chapter 57 pt. 1
Third Person
“What do you mean Jeffrey lost everything!?” Sadie exclaimed. Not even 24 hours after arriving there, Sadie mouthed off to some unscrupulous inmates who hated mistresses and even had a physical altercation with them. Since all of the cases had been highly publicized, it didn’t take long for all of the women in prison to figure out who Sadie was and what she had done.
A lot of them, to her dismay, were legitimate wives who actually did unthinkable things to their own husband’s mistresses and then to their cheating husbands. So, in their eyes, Sadie was nothing but a constant reminder of what got them locked up in the first place. Sadie, though, not knowing her personally, left very sour tastes in the mouths of those female inmates. When they started to harass her for being a homewrecker, Sadie slapped several of them, which got her jumped and beaten to a pulp. Fortunately for her, they knew she was pregnant and steered clear of her abdomen, but that left room for them to ruin her face and hair.
Sadie suffered from a broken nose, a ruptured cheek implant, and her hair was chopped off. Sadie went from having golden locks down to her hips to having a near-pixie cut that made her look horrendous. Sadie had to spend 36 hours in the infirmary before getting a cell in isolation to protect her from the other inmates.
Currently, Sadie was allowed only one visitor a day, and the only person who had been coming to visit her was her mother. Agatha Galloway, who had been trying to avoid her husband by any means necessary, was stealthily visiting her daughter; however, she wasn’t stealthy enough. David Galloway knew she would be the only person on the planet to visit her daughter in prison and had his men, or what little men he had left, follow her every move. When she first saw what had happened to her darling daughter, Agatha Galloway nearly fainted at the sight.
“It’s what I said, honey,” Agatha explained. “They found that marriage certificate you concealed in his paperwork to sign.”
“How!? It was supposed to file secretly by Agatha’s uncle in Jersey!” Sadie gritted her teeth, still uncomfortable with the fact that her only lacky shared a name with her mother.
“I don’t know how sweetheart, but they did. And that only added fuel to the fire. Jeffrey is being charged with bigamy,” Mrs. Galloway said as she trembled in trepidation. Knowing she had also committed the same crime, she was terrified that the law would come for her next. “They even found evidence that Jeffrey doesn’t belong to Jack and Ruth.”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean, Jeff isn’t Ruth’s son. He belongs to that woman, Piper. She’s not their family member at all. She’s Jack’s mistress and Jeff’s biological mother.”
“What in the fuck is going on out there!? So, Jeff is just a bastard? Literally!? I gave up everything for an illegitimate son!?”
“Ruth has filed for divorce. And given how long they’ve been married and that he’s been cheating on her with this woman since day one, Jack’s going to lose everything to her. Jack Hollands will be nothing but an empty shell.”
“How could this happen? Why is everything going to shit! I was supposed to have everything—money, fame, and power. Jeff’s position as a district attorney was supposed to seal my fate the way possible. I could have whatever and whomever I wanted without consequence, and now, I have nothing! Not even a competent lawyer!”
“About that …”
“What?” Sadie ground her teeth even harder, not liking the sudden turn of her mother’s tone when they mentioned Bart.
“Bart’s been arrested.”
“What!?”
“I heard from his wife that they were at the airport trying to flee the country but were caught by TSA.”
“Are you fucking serious right now!?” Sadie slammed her tiny fists onto the table in front of her.
“Inmate! Keep your voice down!” A guard shouted at Sadie. Her outburst interrupted the visitation of other inmates around her.
“Are you fucking serious right now!?” she repeated in a shouted whisper.
“Yes, honey. He was caught while he was trying to go to a country with a non-extradition treaty with the U.S. or something or other.”
“On what charges?”
“Helping you frame Leon and other things that I’m not sure of.”
“There’s no evidence of that!”
“I heard they found some. The worst part is that Bart made a deal.”
“He… made… a deal!?”
