Chapter 8: Wrong Bitch
Meanwhile…
Piper was in the Liberal Arts conference room going over the assignments with her teaching assistants.
"The average with my class was 85% on the assignment" Sophia said proudly.
"Or you're an easy marker" Taystee teased. "My class was 82%"
"Hush! I'm just a better explainer than you" Sophia replied back to Taystee.
"And Suzanne, how about your class?" Piper asked noting down all the grades on her computer.
"88%" Suzanne responded.
"Okay great. When will we have the exams marked by? I have to submit all the grades in two weeks before the winter break." Piper looked at all her assistants.
"By this Friday" Taystee answered.
"Okay great, see you guys then" Piper stood up and headed back to her office. She saw a text from Polly.
Call me – Urgent
Piper quickly called Polly. Polly told Piper how she saw two security guards escort Alex outside of the building with all her stuff. Apparently, she was terminated and Polly didn't know why. She told Piper to speak to Alex first.
So now Piper was speeding down the highway to Alex's place. Alex had given Piper the password to enter the gates of her home and a spare key to her home. Piper opened the door and walked inside calling Alex's name. She knew she was home because the Audi was parked outside. Piper headed up the stairs and saw Alex in her room.
"Alex what happened?" Piper asked.
"Your fucking fiancé, that's what happened"
"what do you mean?" Piper was confused.
"Larry fired me. Apparently, I didn't show up to work for a week without any proof of an excusable leave. Which is bullshit, because the hospital faxed all my medical reports and notes telling the university I was going to be away for a week. He's fucking do this because of you"
Piper stepped out furious and grabbed her keys and headed out the door.
"Where are you going Piper?" Alex ran after her.
"To Larry" Piper sped down the gravel road.
Alex walked back inside and sent a text message to Eve. She knew Eve was still on her flight to New York and would probably reach in the next hour. Alex waited patiently to hear back from both Piper and Eve.
Piper walked into her home and heard weird noises coming from upstairs. She quietly headed up the stairs and opened the bedroom door to find Larry having sex with a blonde woman.
"What the fuck is this?"
"Piper?" Larry was surprised to see her. "What are you doing here?"
"Who is she?" The blonde asked quickly grabbing her clothes.
"His fiancé" Piper said angrily.
"You're engaged?" The blonde shouted and quickly ran out of the home.
"What are you doing here Piper?"
"This is still my home as well Larry, or did you forget that? What did you do to Alex?"
"The termination papers? She didn't return from the reading break to the university and therefore she abandoned her duties"
"This is bullshit Larry and you fucking know it… you know exactly why she didn't come back.. your fucking friend beat the fuck out of her.. and plus the hospital faxed you papers… is this because of me?"
"I don't know what your talking about Piper? There was no documentation of her absence"
"Bullshit Larry, I told you to give me time but instead you're screwing some woman and terminated Alex"
"You CHOSE her!" Larry yelled
"No I hadn't, but thanks for making it easy to choose." Piper stormed out of the home and drove away.
Eve got off the airplane, waiting for her baggage when her phone went off with a text message. It was a message from Alex to call her urgently. Eve called Alex
"What's wrong?" Eve asked
"He terminated me Eve, that fucking bastard"
"Who?"
"Piper's fiancé, Larry who is the dean of the university"
"Okay hun, don't worry I'm on the next flight back.. I'll take care of this don't you worry"
Eve quickly booked a returning flight back to Toronto. (Sorry guys, I'm Canadian) Eve called Nicky and told her to grab all the evidence against Mark and whatever she could get on the university. She told Nicky to pick her up from the airport in five hours.
Alex was sitting in the living room when she saw Piper's car pull in. Piper walked in slowly and Alex saw Piper's face. She was clearly crying
"What happened?" Alex got up and hugged Piper.
"Your right Alex and when I went to OUR home, he was screwing some blonde"
"I'm so sorry Piper." Piper followed Alex into the living room and continued to cry.
Later that day,
Eve and Nicky walked into the home and found Alex in the kitchen drinking coffee.
"Okay Alex, we are going after both of them full on.. they messed with the wrong bitch!" Eve said and Alex turned around to see them both entering the kitchen.
"What?" Alex said a little lost.
"Well I spoke to the board of directors at the university and they told me that they were not aware of any of this and that whatever Larry did was his own vendetta. So now we are going after Larry for wrongful dismissal, lost wages, slander and after everything he owns because the university wont back him up. On top of that, the university will be going after him too. And as for Mark, I have my really good friend Annalise flying in tonight to take care of the criminal case against Mark while I take care of your civil case against Larry. You have the two best lawyers working on your case. He messed with the wrong bitch" Eve said proudly, Nicky smiled which led to Alex smile as well.
"Your going after everything he has?" Piper asked nervously.
"Yes" Nicky replied and Piper walked away. Eve looked at Alex to talk to Piper, she couldn't deal with any problems from their end. Alex walked into the living room where Piper was on her phone.
"Everything ok there?" Alex asked.
"Yeah" Piper said unsure
"You sure there kid?"
"Its just a lot Alex. I was engaged to Larry and was with him for eight years. I know how hard he worked for everything in his life, so I just feel bad thinking that he may lose it all because of me"
"Because of you?" Alex was confused
"None of this would have happened if I never left that home. You would still have a job and he would have his"
"Pipes, this is not your fault. Nothing you did was wrong, you hear me?"
Piper sat there quietly.
"He fucked up. He let his personal feelings affect his professional life. If this ever got out, do you think it would be easy for me to get another teaching job?"
Piper just sat there quietly.
"Look at me please. Just tell me, I don't have anything to worry about from you? I promise you Piper, anything more after my legal costs and lost wages is yours okay?" Piper looked up, surprised at what Alex just said. Alex cared about Piper's wellbeing even after all this.
"Can I ask you for a favour?" Piper finally spoke
"Sure anything"
"I want to know how long Larry has been seeing that woman"
"Sure, I'll see what Eve can do" Alex got up and placed a soft, assuring kiss on Piper's lips.
Alex walked into the dining room that now had become an office. Eve's computer, papers everywhere, Nicky's computer and folders everywhere. She saw pictures of herself covered in bruises. She was sleeping when Eve took these pictures. She couldn't believe Mark had done this to her. She wiped a few tears that had released from her eyes when she saw the pictures. Eve got off the phone and took the pictures out of Alex's hand.
"He will pay, trust me" Eve assured Alex.
"I need a favour" Alex looked at Eve
"You mean another one outside this one?" Eve joked
"I need a private investigator. I need to know how long Larry has been screwing this blonde woman for Piper. I'll take care of the costs"
"I'll call Kalinda Sharma, best private investigator. She owes me so don't worry about the cost" Eve smiled and Alex hugged her. She was so thankful for everything Eve was doing.
Later that evening…
There was a knock on the door. Alex answered the door to find a black woman, in a red coat.
"Alex?" the woman asked.
"Yes" Alex responded a little confused.
"Annalise Keating, your criminal lawyer"
"Oh I'm so sorry, please come on in" Annalise followed Alex into her home. Alex pointed her towards the dining room where Eve was working.
Eve was typing away on her computer, when she heard the familiar voice. It had been ten years since she heard that voice
"Surprise?" Annalise said as she took off her coat. Eve got up and headed towards Annalise and hugged her.
"Thanks for coming"
"What's up with them two?" Nicky asked Alex and Piper. Alex looked at the two working in the dining room.
"They have history" Alex answered. Nicky was still confused but chose to ask Alex later.
That night, Piper slept with Alex in her room. Eve and Annalise shared one of the guest bedrooms and Nicky slept in her own room. Everyone was exhausted after the day they had.
The next morning, Alex woke up. It was 6am and everyone was still asleep. She went quietly downstairs and turned on the tv as she made herself some coffee.
"Good Morning, we have breaking news for you. Lets turn it to our reporter Sarah Walker."
"Good Morning everyone. We are at the University and we just got breaking news that the dean Larry Bloom has been suspended from his position. So far we have found out that the dean fired one of the professors, Alex Vause, who is the Chemistry Professor at the university without the university's permission. So we did some more digging and found out that Larry fired Alex because she was sleeping with his fiancé Piper Chapman, a law professor at the university. What makes this even more fascinating is that Piper Chapman, is the daughter of the one and only Supreme Court Judge Chapman. We have reached out to him for any comments. We will get back to you on this developing story once we find out more details"
"Oh shit!" Alex said out loud before turning the tv on mute.
We learned from Piper's conversation with Dr Hastings that her father plays an important role in her life especially making decisions. What will Judge Chapman have to say about Piper and Alex and her relationship with Larry? Stay Tuned!
