Chapter 1: Rick the Prick
I was recovering from the wildest Halloween party that I had ever been to. I did some clean up around the house and then went and did a workout. After a light dinner, I hit the sack early. When I woke up on Monday morning, I found that I wasn't alone.
Samantha, Teena's daughter, was snuggled up next to me. I hadn't even heard her come in last night. As I was waking, there were signs she was reviving as well, as she stretched her tall dancer's body out next to me. She was wearing one of my t-shirts and not much else.
I gave her a kiss on the cheek and started to get up.
Samantha reached out and pulled me back into the bed. I landed on my back and she crawled up to straddle me and gave me a big kiss on the lips. "I have missed you, even though it has only been a few days. Sarah told me about your wild Halloween party. The auction idea sounded wild. Maybe next year, you can take mom and me."
"I missed you and your mom, too," I responded. "How is she doing?"
I was clearly still feeling the effects of the party, as I was only sporting a soft-on in the presence of her sexy beauty.
"That is why I came over," Samantha said with a wry smile. "Well, that and possibly getting some breakfast sausage."
Hearing that Teena wasn't doing well brought concern to my voice as I asked, "I thought she was getting to a formal separation with your dad. I know Rick was being a bit difficult. It must be going much worse than she has let on."
"Mom doesn't want to burden you," Samantha said. "She knows that you may feel some guilt over this. I don't think you should, though. Dad and mom were having issues long before you were on the scene and she was already expanding her horizons with Denise."
"What is Rick doing to be difficult?" I asked.
"I am not sure of the details," Samantha responded. "I think it has to do with the finances. I have heard mom complain and dad has had some late nights on the computer doing some banking."
All thought of a morning quickie dissipated as I was concerned for Teena and Samantha. Accountants might not be violent, but the financial destruction they caused could be awful. Teena was behaving logically and was proposing an equal split. Rick seemed to have different ideas.
"Samantha, I will talk to your mom today to see what I can do to help."
I gave Samantha a big hug and said, "I am hopeful that it will all work out and you know that I will do whatever is necessary to support you both."
Samantha had a tear in her eye and said, "Ray, that makes me feel better. If you say that to mom, I am sure it will have the same effect."
I begged off getting frisky with Samantha and headed to the shower thinking about how I could help. I had set up monitoring of Rick's email and phone via a security friend, just in case. It looked like I might need to use this.
After the shower, I came out to find Samantha downstairs in the kitchen. She had put a pot of coffee and had a bagel in the toaster.
"Samantha, are you staying at your home or at Denise's?" I asked.
"I am splitting my time trying to give both of them some space," she responded. "Dad thought I was at Denise's last night."
"It might be helpful if you spent some more time at home," I suggested. "It would be good to know what your dad is up to and you being there may blunt his worst instincts. Don't do anything to spy on him or ask any nosy questions. Just be present and see what you observe. Do you think you can do that?"
Samantha nodded and said, "I am really worried for mom."
I gave her another big hug and added, "Samantha, nothing really bad will happen. Your mom has some great friends in addition to a great daughter. We will all help her and by extension, you."
I must leave for work now. "Are you going to be okay?" I questioned with my eyebrows up.
Samantha gave me one of her patented thousand-watt smiles and just said, "Thanks so much, Ray."
I grabbed a travel mug of coffee and headed to work thinking about what I could do. When I arrived, I texted Teena and suggested that we meet at Denise's tonight.
A bit later in the day, Teena sent back a message, "That would be great. Samantha told me that she talked to you. CYA tonight."
Later in the day, I contacted my security friend to see how he could help. He said that his last dump of info from Rick had a bunch of emails and GPS data from his phone. He was going to send them to me by tomorrow morning. I then leaned in for a big favor and asked if he could arrange private eye surveillance of Rick for tonight and tomorrow. He promised me that he had someone that he could trust. I agreed to pay whatever was necessary.
I sent Samantha a quick note to let her know I was meeting with Denise and her mom tonight.
She responded with, "I wish I was there, too. I will miss all of the fun. I am still hungry as I didn't get my breakfast sausage."
I went straight to Denise's place after work. I let myself in and found Teena and Denise deep in conversation with glasses of wine in the kitchen. Both of my lovers looked lovely with some tight clothing on. Teena did look tired and stressed, though.
I was able to approach Teena from behind and gave her a big bear hug. She jumped at first, and then realized it was me. I could feel her body melt in relief. "You are stressed," I said.
Teena just let out her breath and nodded.
I went around the island and gave Denise a hug, as well; followed by a deep kiss.
As we kissed, Teena said, "Now that looks like some good stress relief."
I smiled at Teena and gave Denise a light smack on her bum which elicited a yelp from her. I went and grabbed the wine bottle and helped myself to a glass. I took a seat next to Teena and said, "You have been holding out on me about how Rick is acting."
Teena looked down and said, "I didn't want to burden you with the mess."
"Teena, we are here to help, but we can't help if you keep this bottled up," I said, as I put a hand gently on her back. "We have drained the bottle of wine, and it is time that you drain your frustrations with us."
"I have been discussing it for days with Denise," Teena said. "The short version is this: Rick was furious when I first talked about splitting. I thought he was just in denial and needed some time to process this. Was I ever wrong about that!
"Rick drained all of our joint accounts, including our retirement account. He maxed out our line of credit and cancelled all our credit cards. He then moved all the money to an offshore account.
"What he did is illegal but getting my share back will take years of time and will cost at least fifty thousand dollars in lawyer's fees. You know how the saying goes; possession is nine tenths of the law.
"Rick wasn't a very good husband, but he sure knew his accounting and banking."
"Teena, I have the money for the lawyers," I said.
Teena and Denise smiled at me.
"I knew you would pony up instantly," Denise said.
Denise served up a dinner of lamb and roasted vegetables.
Over dinner, I thought through the situation and tried to put myself in Rick's shoes. "What is Rick hoping to get by doing this?" I pondered. "He knows that he can't actually steal the money in the long run."
Teena said, "That is what we were discussing when you arrived. I saw him last night and he made me an offer to fix this. He wants full ownership of the house and will give me thirty percent of the cash. He also wants to know who came between us. It is part vengeance and part blackmail."
"You didn't accept the offer, did you?" I asked.
"Denise and I were just debating it," Teena responded. "I am inclined to agree to the money split. It will resolve this quickly and I will get more this way than if I use the courts for years. I want to move on with my life and fighting him will be a drain on my soul."
"Don't agree to anything with that cuckold slime ball," I asserted with anger in my voice. "He has a lot to lose in this, as well. If we fight him in the courts, it could get him banned from working as an accountant and it could easily destroy his reputation."
"Ray, I am not sure," Teena said with uncertainty. "I am an accountant, as well; and I think that that would be difficult."
"You may be right about the accounting, but what we are in now is a negotiation," I said. "My whole job is negotiating, and I know we can get a better deal than what he is offering. We need to understand all the alternatives both from our side and his side. We need more information on him. I will be able to help with that."
"You aren't getting Samantha to do any spying, are you?" Teena asked.
"Absolutely not," I emphasized. "I would never use her in this, or risk her involvement. She shouldn't be put in between her parents. I only asked her to be at home, and told her not to spy or try to get information from him."
Denise asked, "Are you going to get some muscle involved in this?"
"You have been watching too many movies," I laughed. "Violence is the first refuge of the incompetent. What we need is knowledge and insight. Give me a couple of days and I am sure we can game plan a better strategy."
Denise looked at me and said, "Ray, I think you know more than you are letting on."
"I might," I responded. "But I don't have any information, yet. I know it is hard, but we have to have patience."
Teena said, "Speaking of hard and patience. I am sure you are getting hard, and I am losing patience. We should all get our minds off this by having a bit of play time."
