Chapter Eleven

"Dot, c'mon, I came to you because I wanted to be honest, not because I am having an affair, I swear on the kids lives I'm innocent"

" Jon, I want to believe you, but see this from where I'm sitting, if the shoe was on the other foot, what would you think?"

" I know what your saying, but I trust you and would give you the benefit of the doubt"

"yes, that word trust, thing is Jon when it's gone, there are no refills, and even when a small amount comes back it's never the same"

" What have I done Dot, tell me, cause through our marriage I have been faithful"

" I'm not getting into the past now"

"the past, your judging me but won't tell me why?"

"Ok, what about Kim?"
"Kim, Kim? Who the fuck is Kim?"

"Oh c'mon don't tell me you don't remember her"

"for the love of god I have no fucking idea"

"you and her on stage"

" on stage?"
"please stop playing dumb Jon"
"But I don't know what your referring to, or who"

Dot got out of bed and went to her mail desk, she rifled around then walked back and handed me a pink envelope with writing and post mark of UK.

"go on open it"

 

Inside was a letter and a photograph of me and a women, both smiling, I had my arm draped around her shoulders and was leaning in to peck her cheek, no different from all the other fans I had met over the years and posed for photographs for. then I read the note accompanying the photograph,

 

"Dear Mrs Bon Jovi,

 

I am deeply sorry having to write to you, but I have tried making contact with Jon through his management and have met with a brick wall.

 

My name is Kim and I met your husband when he played Hyde Park in 2003, I was one of the girls allowed on stage for a couple of songs to watch up close the show, it was during this time that Jon approached me during an interlude and ask me if I wanted to meet him back stage, he said he would arrange for me to stay on the stage until the end of the show, then he would have Clive or Matt escort me to his room.

 

I don't want to make this anymore painful than it is, but I met Jon back stage and a wild night of passion took place and after I found myself pregnant.

 

That was 11 months ago,  His Daughter was born on February 21st 2004, She was consummated when he played in June 2003. She arrived into this world weighing 7lb 6oz,  she has bright blue eye's just like her dad and his smile.

 

I enclose a picture of his daughter Amelia May, for him to see, You may think I am now writing for money but I am not,  I don't want anything from Jon other than recognition for his daughter. I know his infidelity must be painful for you, but what else was I to do?, I did not want to go to the press.

 

I know this is a big ask, but if you could see your way clear to speaking with him and responding with acknowledgement I cannot tell you how grateful I would be.

 

Yours Sincerely

 

Kimberley Mount"

 

I stood digesting the letter and the photograph, but the women I was looking at  I seriously had no recollection of,

"So based on this fruit cake of a letter you assume I am guilty and have an illegitimate  child in the uk with this women?"

"Oh c'mon Jon, that child is the spitting image of you"

There was no denying she did have some of my features, but I honest to god did not know the women.

"Dot, I swear to you, I do not know this women, jeez I pose for pictures all the time with fans, only difference is not all of them claim to have had my child....."

"look Jon, I'm tired, please can you go now.... just let me alone.. I need to think over all this"

"Look if I prove I am innocent with this Kim person?"

"Then yes, I'll talk to you, but that is gonna take a miracle.
