Weak in the Knees Ch. 05

... put his hands over Nadya's ears and said in a stage whisper, "Don't you listen to them now. You're too young to be corrupted like this."

It took a few weeks, but Daniel's attorney eventually reached out to Zach to settle out of court so they could have the charges dropped, and Brielle was included because she had made her own police report. Zach knew Diego was against it, but he decided to go and meet with them with his own lawyer so they could talk. In the end, they walked out of the meeting with an agreement between them that both could live with.

Daniel would move into a backseat at his company and let his brother Garrett take over as CEO, and Daniel would pay a fair amount of money for medical expenses and damages to Zach. He also would give Brielle a fair divorce that followed the letter of the prenup they had and was quick, and Zach and Brielle would drop the criminal charges.

When he got home from the meeting, he told Zayne, Brinxton, and Diego what they had agreed to and would be signing by the end of the week. Brinxton and Diego both seemed to be of the opinion that he had settled a little too easily, but they didn't offer comments.

"Oh, I didn't mention the best part," Zach said with a grin at the expressions on their faces. "He has to issue a public apology and stay away from me and Nadya or we can file later for a protection order from him."

Zach smirked and kissed Diego briefly but passionately because he whispered right into his ear. "I'll hold you to that."

Diego smiled but wasn't so easily distracted. "So he basically gets away with beating you up for the price of not being a complete shit-heel? Seems like he kinda won out on that one."

Zach let out a sigh and sat down. "The reality is that he wouldn't have gotten any jail or prison time anyway. His dad would have fixed it if Daniel couldn't himself. He would have paid a bunch of money and it would have gone away for them. At least with this, he has more punishment than just losing money. He loses his wife, his place as CEO, our entire friend group, and has to publicly embarrass himself to make it right."

"Still seems like a shitty deal, but if you're happy with it..." Brinxton said.

"As long as I never see his smug face again, it will do," Zach admitted. "I'm most worried about Nadya being safe, and having someone around who can say that about her mom and her is not safe."

Diego clearly agreed with that sentiment and so did everyone else present. They all ...
