071 Jinxed Marriage
Sebastian's POV
Jim makes an "okay" gesture atat the stime. They traced Liam Ryan's location and he is telling the
truth. Jim raises a paper at me, on which it wrote [stall, planting sniper].
"I'll be there as soon as | can," | speak into my phone, trying to think of anything to say to stall without him
noticing, "Do you wantto bring Justin Roland with me? You think he is the murderer, no?"
He pauses, obviously taken by surprise at my suggestion.
"That's true...yeah, take that bastard," He grumbles, "His wife, too!"
"Okay, I'll pick them up on my way over," | assure him, walking out as | keep talking, "I didn't know this had
anything to do with his wife though?"
"That bitch spared no effort mudding my sparrow!"

"But."
"Stop stalling and shut the fuck up! Or | might just kill one, just to pass time!"
|
He hangs up. | glance at Jim, and he nods: "You did good. I'll cwith. Briefabout this Justin person?"
Honestly, there isn't much to tell. Justin has been with his current wife Annie Murphy since high school, and when
| signed him, their
background check cback clean. He proposed to Annie, and Annie accepted it. Their marriage was blessed by
both of their parents, end of story.
Sparrow Ryan didn't agree. She claimed that Justin was her boyfriend, and he only ditched her when he got
famous.
An obvious misunderstanding, if not a lie. He didn't get famous until | signed him, and | knew who he was at that
time. That was why there was almost no room for the Ryans to turn it around in court, and even if that was true,
Justin still held very limited responsibility when she committed suicide.
The cause of action the Ryans claimed was that Justin Roland promised to marry Sparrow Ryan, and when he
broke that promise by marrying Annie Murphy, Sparrow Ryan only threatened with suicide to stop him from doing
so. 071 Jinxed Marriag
| can understand why Liam Ryan holdsresponsible when he felt like he was bullied by my legal team, but
seriously, that case wasn't won by money. Even a pro bono lawyer would have won the case for Justin.
Justin didn't even sue them for ruining his wedding day. | can't imagine having the supposed to be his happiest
day stained by the death of a crazy fan, then
only to be sued by that fan's family for letting the death happen. That just might be the worst. jinx there is at the
beginning of a marriage.
When we arrived at his house, he wore that jinx on his face-
"Justin, thanks for-" | called him on the way over, but | stopped stunned when | saw the claw marks on his face,
"Are you alright? What happened?!"
"It's nothing..." Justin turns his head slightly to hide the mark, but in vain. "Sorry, but Annie is...not available...
The last t| saw him was during that case. He was a mess, but that was only frustration. But now he wears his
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbeard long and messy, his eyes have blood streaks, and there are white hairs here and there. He is only 20! He
looks like he aged ten years in the past 12 months. He requested stoff a few months ago, but I didn't
think he would fall like this.
Annie's angry face is pasted on the window when | look up, and she instantly dodges back into the room. She's
at home, so by "not available" he meant that she doesn't want to go with us.
Did | cause this domestic issue with my request?
"That's understandable," | pat him on the shoulder, leading the way, "I'm really sorry that | caused this. That was
a selfish request on my part-"
"No, you didn't," Justin lets out a long sigh, getting into the back seat after me, "it wasn't exactly paradise before
today..."
"I'm sorry that | had to make this request today, especially considering how your marriage had to start that
way..." | don't know what would be appropriate to say at this point, "I'll make it up -
"No, not that either, actually," He looks up, and | see the physical form of what hopeless is in his eyes, "our
marriage started fine...at least, to Annie. If | felt pitiful for what happened, then what she felt was utter
happiness." 071 Jinsed Mariage
What? That's not what | expected from his "caring high school sweetheart".
