Jilted at the Altar, I Married His Billionaire Uncle novel · Chapter 21 of 32
Chapter 21: Bail
They kept me in a holding cell on the North Side until morning.
A concrete bench. A steel toilet. A drunk woman in a sequined top who cried for an hour and then asked if I was the bolt girl.
"I'm the bolt girl," I said.
"My cousin sent me your video." She lay down on her bench. "That big guy's face when it broke. Oh my God."
She went to sleep.
I didn't.
I sat with my back against the cold wall in my harness, which they'd made me take off and then given back in a paper bag, and I thought about the head of that bolt dropping into the dark.
Thirty-eight floors.
Nobody under it, at midnight. This time.
At seven the door buzzed.
"Dunleavy," the officer said. "Bail's posted."
"By who?"
He checked his clipboard and his eyebrows went up.
"Your husband. In cash."
They gave me back my phone, my union card, my belt and my bootlaces.
My phone had four hundred and twelve notifications.
I didn't look.
I walked out through the heavy door into the hallway.
Anson was sitting on a plastic bench against the wall.
