Chapter 83
He opened her door, and Royce came in with him. As his eyes landed on Pandora, he saw it. He saw her, he saw Dora.
“Hey, congratulations,” Royce said, smiling at her.
“What’s going on,” he asked upon seeing Pandora’s other friends, and her angry tears.
“Derrik illegally sold Pandora’s house. A family is living there right now,” Ron told him. “I had to insist to get in, which wasn’t a nice thing to do as at that time there was just a woman with two small children at home. I got what I could. But when I was leaving, some jackass was there trying to get the woman out by force saying the house was his.”
Ron smiled and Benjamin just looked at him. “He commented that he was there earlier, but at that time there was a fat woman illegally in his home which meant he was the one who scared the shit out of Pandora, so I hit him and broke his nose.”
“You’re lucky you didn’t get charged with assault. Be grateful the woman is saying that he was scaring her, and what you did was in self–defense,” Milton hissed out as he ended the call he was on. “There’s another family that has turned up, and the video from my car is being looked over to see if it was Derrik that messed with it.”
Benjamin looked at Milton. “What?” he managed to ask.
“Don’t ask, Benjamin, just know that as soon as we can get evidence, Derrik’s going down for a long time. Pandora’s car was tampered with, too. It sounds as if he did something to it, but proving it so is turning out harder than I thought it would be. However, the lab sent the contents of the gas tank to the station and found human urine, so we are getting a court order for a DNA test.”
Benjamin pulled at his hair looking at Keira, Ron, and Milton. “Give me the low down on what all he has done to her.”
Ron was quick and didn’t mess around as he laid it all out for him. Turning to Milton, he glared. “Add attempted murder. He could have made her miscarry,” he gritted out, hating that Pandora was going through all of that.
“If I can, believe me, I will,” Milton claimed and he could see it on the other’s face. He was also over the line with Pandora.
“Who’s going to tell Prosecutor Leonard?” Sia questioned when she joined the group.
“I think we should let his son–in–law tell him everything,” Ron commented, handing him a cell phone. Benjamin clicked on the call button. “Put it on speaker, Ron cheered and Benjamin rolled her eyes but did what he said.
“kon… how is everything?” the voice answered the call saying.
‘Sir, this is Benjamin,” he swallowed.
Pandora’s doctor Benjamin?” he asked,
Benjamin pulled his hair saying a faint “Yes,” as Ron yelled, “and her husband.”
“What?” Walter interjected as Ben glared at Ron. The other had Keira’s hand covering his mouth. Am I on speaker?”
Yes, Sir… Look… to cut a long story short, I met Pandora in Vegas, we got drunk, got married, and… made the babies, he stuttered out as the others laughed. Benjamin rolled his eyes at their enjoyment of his discomfort.
“Anyway, we didn’t recognize each other, but we do now.” He stopped and cleared his throat. “Sir, you need to know that Derrik has sold Pandora’s house to multiple families.”
“He’s done what?”
I know there’s a lot more to it, but we are working on it. When you get to the hospital, Milton will fill you in and after meeting the boys you can stay at my house.
Son-
Benjamin shook his head and cut him off. “Sir, if you don’t mind, I would like to get back to my wife and sons. I’ll see you when you get here.”
“Okay. Ron, stop laughing at my son–in–law and go back to planning my ex–son–in–law’s death. Keep me informed; I’ll see you soon.”
“Yes, Sir, Ron, Keira, and Sia said in unison.

Benjamin let out a long breath before handing Ron his cell phone. “I’m on board. Any drugs you need, let me know.”
Ron hissed a “yes” as Benjamin walked away, heading back in to be with his wife and sons.
