The one police officer brought the car around to the back of the store, and I climbed into the backseat. Not only was I a nanny-stealing thief, but now I was a nanny-stealing thief felon. How could I lose control like that? What would Miles think of me now? The thought swirled in my head. This wasn’t just about me. This was also about how it would reflect on him.
“Step behind the line,” one of the officers spoke.
Great. They were taking my mugshot. I smiled as I held up the placard. Why not? Once they finished booking me, I asked for my one phone call. Dialing Miles’s number, he answered.
“Miles Bradshaw.”
“Hey, you. It’s me. Your wife who loves you so much.”
“Stella? Are you okay?”
“Well, no. I’m in jail, 24th precinct.
“JAIL!” he shouted. “Where are the kids?”
“They’re with Melissa at the park.”
“Ma’am, your time is up,” the officer said.
I held up one finger to him.
“Miles, I’m being charged with assault.”
CHAPTER 38
Miles
“Assault! Who did you assault?”
“Renae Rich. I’ll tell you about it later. They’re making me hang up. Help me, Miles!”
“Hello? Stella?” I shouted. “Fuck!” I jumped out of bed and grabbed my aching balls.
Scrolling through my phone, I dialed Elijah Wolfe.
“Elijah Wolfe,” he answered.
“Elijah, it’s Miles Bradshaw.”
“Hey, Miles. How are you?”
“I wish I could tell you I was good, but my wife’s been arrested.”
“Arrested? For what?”
“Assault.”
“Which precinct did they take her to?”
“The 24th precinct.”
“I’m on my way.”
“Thanks, Elijah. I’ll meet you there.”
I threw on a pair of sweatpants and a sweatshirt. I couldn’t believe this. What on earth would possess my wife to assault Renae Rich? I hailed a cab to the 24th precinct.
“May I help you?”
