Chapter 18
Viggo arrived at work slightly late and slipped into his office the best he could without many seeing his tousled appearance. He had an extra set of clothes that he had placed in his work closet for emergencies, but this wasn’t one that he had thought he would ever use it for. He changed quickly and was going over his schedule for the day when he heard a tap on the door.
“Come in,” he said as he sat his papers aside.
Sean came through the doors and sat down opposite him, just staring in silence at his co-worker.
“What?” came the inevitable question.
“You tell me?” Sean replied as he crossed his legs. “I tried calling your house last night and was angrily told that you weren’t there.”
Viggo pursed his lips into a narrow line. “I wasn’t,” he replied gruffly shuffling his papers.
“And?”
“And what Sean? I wasn’t there,” he said briskly.
“You stayed with the lad then,” Sean stated more than asked.
“It’s none of your business Sean,” he said as he shuffled the stack of papers again with more vigor.
“You’re a fool Viggo if you think she’ll let you get away with this,” Sean insisted as he leaned forward. “She’ll take you for everything you’ve got.”
“It will be worth it,” Viggo stated as he stood and walked to the window.
“God damn you Viggo,” Sean growled. “This could ruin your practice, have you thought about that?”
“I don’t care Sean; I would give up everything for him.”
“What about him then?” Sean asked.
“What do you mean?”
“Are you going to drag his ass through a messy divorce? You know that’s what will happen if Chloe has her way. She will make you pay.”
Viggo nervously ran his fingers through his hair. “God,” he whispered as he felt like he’d been punched. “Fuck.”
“Fuck is right Vig; you haven’t looked at all the angles have you? You know she will take your ass to court and flaunt your relationship with him, do you really want that?”
“Of course not!” he replied bitterly.
“What are you going to do then? Sean asked.
“I’m not really sure,” He replied with all honesty. “I need to talk to Orlando.”
“Just don’t do anything stupid like get caught in a compromising situation,” he said gruffly.
“Yeah,” he said softly. “Thanks Sean,” he smiled.
“You’re welcome, I just don’t want to have to break anybody new in is all.” Sean got up to leave and turned one more time. “I mean it Viggo, be careful.” And with that he walked out of the room.
Viggo sat back in his chair after the door had shut pondering what to do. He wasn’t about to move back in with Chloe that was for sure. The only other option would be a hotel. He couldn’t risk being found in Orlando’s apartment. “Shit!” he mumbled. He ran his hand one more time through his hair before he got up and went to see his patients.

Chloe walked into the richly decorated office.
“Can I help you?” the young receptionist asked.
“Yes, I have a 1:00 appointment with Mr. Lee.”
“I’ll let him know you are here,” she replied and picked up the phone.
Chloe sat down and looked around the lawyer’s office. This man came highly recommended for his ruthlessness in divorce cases. She would need that to take everything from Viggo. He deserved it and so much more. Him and his little twink of a boyfriend. Maybe she should take the lawyer out to lunch so she could introduce them? She smiled as she thought if the young mans discomfort the last time she had lunch.
“Chloe, please come in,” the tall gentleman who stood at the door asked.
He was an elderly man which made Chloe ponder how this old fart could be so ruthless. But then again, he has had plenty of practice.
Christopher Lee closed the door behind the elegant woman and watched as she took a seat in front of his desk. He came around and sat down and introduced himself. “How may I be of service to you?” he asked kindly.
“My husband…” she paused. “Is having an affair, and I want to take the bastard for every fucking thing he’s got.”
Christopher chuckled, ‘Well that was blunt.’ But he said, “Do you have any proof of the affair?”
“Why yes I do,” she replied sweetly as she pulled an envelope out from her bag and handed it to him.
Christopher took the offered envelope and opened it carefully. Inside were several photos. He pulled the first out and set it on his desk. It was a picture of a man in a blue car and a beautiful younger man with him. He sat the photo down slowly and pulled the next photo out. The two men again as they entered an apartment together. He laid that photo on the desk and glanced up at Chloe and saw the disgust on her face. He pulled out the next and saw the two men in a close embrace, kissing. He chuckled softly to himself. The last photo he pulled out showed the two men having sex.
“Well, I see you have the photos covered pretty well,” he said as he lay the last picture down.
“Oh there are more,” she replied snidely. “But I didn’t want to shock you on my first visit with you.”
“I see,” he replied as he leaned forward. “Did you know that your husband was into men?” he asked.
“Of course not,” she replied, “but you can so obviously see by those disgusting pictures that he is.”
“Where did you get these?” he asked as he intertwined his fingers together.
“I hired a PI after I found out he was messing around. I didn’t know that it was anything like what the pictures showed. I was appalled when I saw them.”
“As I’m sure you were. Has he seen these?” he asked.
“No, of course not,” she replied angrily.
“I see,” he replied.” And what does your husband do for a living?” he asked.
“He’s a doctor of all things,” she replied. “A gynecologist.”
“I’m assuming you’re going to want to use these in court if need be?”
“Of course,” she smiled.
“You also know that these photos could ruin him?”
“I know quite well what I’m doing Mr. Lee,” she said. “If you have a problem with this I can take my business somewhere else.”
“No, no problem,” he replied as he stuffed the photos back into their folder and laid them back on the desk.
Chloe leaned over and grabbed the envelope and stuffed it back into her purse. “He has made a big mistake Mr. Lee, and I’m going to make sure he pays for it with everything he’s got,” she spat as she stood and headed towards the door.
Christopher nodded. “I will get to work on it,” he said as he followed her to the door.
“See that you do,” she replied and walked swiftly out the door.
Christopher watched her hasty exit and shook his head in disbelief. ‘I don’t blame the man,’ he thought as he remembered the picture of the young man locked in a heated embrace. “Especially now after having met you!” he murmured quietly.
“Mr. Lee, I have Mr. McKellen on the phone,” the pretty receptionist said as she watched her boss talking to himself.
“Thank you dear,” he said with a smile and walked back into his office shutting the door softly behind him.
“Ian!” he laughed after he picked up the phone.
“How are you Christopher?” Ian asked.
“Very well my friend, very well. I just had the most interesting client,” he exclaimed.
“Oh?”
“Yes, a woman has just found out her husband has been cheating on her.”
“How is that unusual Chris? You get those boring cases all the time,” Ian replied with a laugh.
“Not when they’re cheating with another man I don’t!”
“Oh my!” Ian chuckled. “Well, we will have to discuss this delicious case over dinner, my treat!”
“That would be spendid,” Christopher replied. “Do you want to meet at say 7:00?”
“Sounds good, yes, very good, the usual place then?”
Christopher laughed, “Yes love, the usual will be fine.”
