Chapter 91 - We drank coffee.
Life was great, soon after the wedding. The rumors died down. The public and media became a little easier on the newly wedded couple. "I learnt not to care.. about anything or anyone had to say. It was hard but at that point I was tired of trying to prove that I'm a good person or that I have good intentions." Adela commented.
"My million dollar advise!" Her husband said proudly beside her. It was a beautiful scene with Adela expecting, expecting I found myself swooning over this beautiful couple. They have taken so many shots from the public, media even from their own family and here they're at their happiest.
The honeymoon went smoothly. We got some pictures of shirtless Andre and Adela in a bikini. Jealousy aside, they looked so good together. Media suddenly somewhat started writing some 'nice' things about Adela.
"Yeah, it was always about my body." Adela admitted. "They wished you were theirs.." Andre said defensively.
During their first five months of being married, they were featured on an interview where they were asked if the world should expect kids.
"I said no.. I wanted to study and things were just still pretty hectic. We were still getting used to being married and all. I was only twenty-one and Andre was twenty-four, there were just a lot of things that we wanted to settle first." Adela confessed.
"I answered yes because I was ready and just waiting for a green light from her." Andre added onto his wife's comment.
The happiness wasn't long lived. Apparently in the month that would officially mark their one year anniversary. Rumors surfaced that the couple were having marital problems. Andre had brought another woman to their home while Adela was there as well. No one really had the answers but there were just so many speculations. It was only a month after the divorce had been finalized that Jeanine Levetté agreed to speak on her son's behalf.
Jeanine did an full interview with GQ magazine. Where she reviewed how Adela McCarthy had apparently cheated on her son with his business partners as well as laundered a good amount of money from the Levetté's, everyone couldn't wait to add their opinion and say well we expected it. That's where the story gets twisted, we never really understood what happened. We watched Andre move through different woman like cheap lace. We watched Andre turn to alcohol and make the most atrocious public scenes. No one really gave the inside scoop, we could only make out what we had been told by Jeanine Levetté and we ran with it. After that no one ever heard from Adela McCarthy again. It was questionable, why didn't the Levetté family sue her if she had indeed laundered their money? If she was after fame why did she practically disappear off the face of the earth? These were the questions I had when I embarked on this interview.
"Everything was all my fault. I will take all the blame. My son had nothing to do with it, he was just a victim like Adela. I had waited long enough for them to fight or to have some sort of dispute but whenever they did.. they always made up. I decided to take everything into my own hands. My hus— I mean my ex-husband Ben, absolutely adored Adela. I couldn't exactly turn him again her.. I feel I need to share this with the world to free my own conscious—"
It seemed as if this was something that was really hard for Jeanine to ponder upon. It took her some deep breaths to finally be calm enough to share with us her side of the story.
"I managed to come over to their house. I had brought over one of the male models that work for the pornography industry. One who isn't ashamed to strip naked. I promised him a good amount of money and of course I will not be revealing his identity because this was all my idea and even he was skeptical of the idea. I told him to sit in car as I went to talk to Adela and get everything set. I knew Andre wasn't around so I pretended I had came over to see my son. Adela being the nice girl she is.. she offered me coffee and I agreed saying I would only have one if she had one with me. She agreed.. Adela excused herself to go call Andre. This gave me some time to slip a drug into her coffee. She eventually came back and we drank coffee." Jeanine confessed. My expression fell. This was not what I had expected when they invited me over into their home for an interview. I felt very sympathetic for Adela as a woman and it was just really horrid that she had to go through that.
"When she started to dose over, the young man I had came over with managed to get her upstairs. I striped her off her clothes... initially I had planned to just take pictures of her then leave but then Andre arrived two hours later while I was still trying to capture the perfect images. I hid in the closet. Andre was yelling the man I brought and he in my favor immediately shook Adela and said 'You didn't tell me your husband would be home this early what the fuck'... Adela looked utterly confused. I'm not proud of what I did. She didn't realize she was naked and immediately covered herself with the sheets. Andre kept yelling at her and she stood there confused. I managed to slip out when Andre finally left the house and drove off out of anger. I felt victorious at that moment but.. I hate myself for it." Jeanine cried. "Even more so knowing she was pregnant and could have lost the baby. Leo is so precious.. I just—"
I will give everyone some time to digest this as we continue our time traveling with the Levetté's. I'm personally too hurt, I can't even imagine to feel how the victim herself must have felt. It's horrible and to see that she has overcame all this makes me see her in a different stance. I admire her wholeheartedly. Again I'm truly grateful for having been chosen to be the one to cover this story.
