Chapter 18 - Kickin' Her Chagrin Away

As soon as J reached her apartment, he called Lance. Lance is a lawyer. He is J's best friend since childhood. They went to the same school. Both of them went abroad to study.

"Hey! What's up!" she heard Lance on the other line.

"Remember what I told you about what grandfather said when he was on his death bed?" J replied.

"Which one?" Lance asked.

"The marriage," J said.

"Oh right! Did something come up?"

J was pacing back and forth in the living room of her apartment brushing her hair with her fingers. "It's real. I got a copy of the marriage contract. I'll email it to you. Check it out for me. And prepare a divorce paper."

"What?! Okay, I'll check it out. I'll call you back." Lance hanged up.

J throws her phone on the sofa then went to her room. She changed into jeans and a shirt. She then takes out a sports bag from her closet then walked out of her apartment.

In a boxing gym, J looked around and saw the person she's looking for. It's a woman with a muscular built tanned skin, taller than her. Her hair in a French braid, she's wearing a tank-top and boxer's shorts. She then looked at her direction and was delighted to see her.

"J!" she exclaimed. "It's been a while. Let me guess, you need a sparring partner?" It's Amanda, J's kickboxing instructor. "Yeah. Are you free?" J replied. "Are you kidding me?! I haven't sparred with you for a long time. Of course, I'm free! Let's do this!" Amanda replied enthusiastically.

J then went to the locker room and changed in a tank-top and boxing pants. She made a couple of circuits then head on to the boxing ring. In the boxing ring, she diverted her anger towards the sandbag. She was punching and kicking it harshly. Amanda noticed it and said "Hey! Hey! Hey! Easy! What's wrong with you?"

J answered "Nothing. Let's start." The next 2 hours were nonstop kicking and punching until Amanda gave up in exhaustion and pain.

"J! What's got into you?" Amanda asked her while lying in the boxing ring gasping for air. J was lying beside her. Her chest moving up and down.

When J arrived home, she heard her phone ringing. She then remembered Lance was supposed to call her back. How could she have forgotten about that and left her phone on the sofa? She got the phone and answered the call.

"Finally! After a hundredth time. Where were you? Why are you not answering my call? I've been worried sick about you!" Lance exclaimed. "Sorry, I went to the gym and forgot my phone. Have you seen it?" J replied.

"Yeah. As you've said. It's real. No flaws. It's even in the civil registrar. Did you know that you are married to the CEO and President of the CLP Group of Hospital?"

"Hmm... I actually got that contract from him." J replied. "Really, so how was it? How long does he know about it?" Lance asked her. "It turns out that he just found out about it over a month ago," J said.

"Lance...I want you to prepare the divorce paper and send it over to me tomorrow. And also, find out anything about Jacob Parker and his family. What relationship does our grandfather have? And find out where the Elder Parker is." J ordered Lance.

"No problem. I'll send the divorce paper over tomorrow. As for the rest, leave it to me." Lance assured J then hung up the phone.
