“I swear it just slipped. I thought you already told him.” Kris rushed, her eyes apologetic. It scared me, especially with Grayson brooding behind her, his face unimpressed and borderline furious.

“What do you mean it slipp-” The words died in my throat as realization hit me. No! I chanted in my head, repeatedly and desperately.

“Care to explain why they think you mentioned a pregnancy to me?” Grayson fumed, never leaving the spot behind Kris, but even with the distance I could feel the heat of his gaze like he was right in front of me scorching my skin with it.

“I… em… I,” What exactly was my excuse? How was I going to get him to believe anything but the truth? The answer was simple, I couldn’t, but was I really about to tell everyone that I’m pregnant?

“Well?” Grayson pushed, one foot tapped against the tiled floor, the only sign he was losing his patience and fast.

“It’s true.” Jay, who had been silent the entire time, finally spoke up, his eyes narrowed at Grayson in what

    GRAYSON“Baby, why did you dump me at the hospital? I needed you by my side.” She whined, shaking my arm like a freaking toddler. I stilled, it was all I could do not to peel her thieving fingers off my arm and telling her to shut her lying, cock sucking mouth up.Patters. Rhythmic patters of water meeting earth, quickly followed by nerve wracking thunder. The downpour wasn’t sudden, but just like Scarlett’s invasion of our lives, it was sudden. It was a welcomed surprise however, much unlike Scarlett’s hand that wouldn’t stop running up and down my arm.“I had an emergency.” I tried to keep the strain out of my voice, but even with the furious sounds from the sky masking my irritation, she wasn’t totally tone deaf, yet.“An emergency for two days?!” She shrieked and I could feel it pierce my very skull. Her presence in itself was already a pain, but atleast she never really had time for all of that extra, guess it was due to the fact that she didn’t need a lot to get me to cough out

    ADELINEScarlett was on the other side of the window, her hair flowing and forming a halo around her face in the best way possible. Despite everything I couldn’t lie that she was as stunning as stunning could get, but that didn’t mean I was going to overlook just how vile she was because of it.Pretend, we have to cooperate for this to work. I had to remind myself because the only thing that came to mind in that moment was to roll down the windows and pull her head on it, maybe if she felt some pain, it would reset it some.I forced out air through my lips, letting it come from within, from my lungs, out of my lips. After what felt like forever, I turned to Grayson.“I hope she doesn’t have anything up her sleeves.” I said angrily, gesturing like crazy like I was actually saying something insulting out of anger towards him. It was for her benefit really, but a part of me wanted to actually yell at him, at her, at everybody, they all deserved a little talking to because why on earth wo

    ADELINEGrayson filled me in on the ride back. How he’d met Scarlett, how they divorced, the reason they divorced, the real reason this time not something I could easily get off the blogs and most importantly how he planned to get rid of her.If I was being honest, it did sound like a lot was going on and things could get messy if she ever were to find out she was being played, very messy and it did sting a little to be involved in doing that to another woman, but it was Scarlett, the bitch wouldn’t think twice about doing the same, he’ll, she might even bring a few more ideas to the table to finish me off if the roles were reversed. Still, I wasn’t agreeing to be a part of it because it’s what she would do in my position. I was only because she’d crossed the line.She was here to snatch Johnny if she could, knowing very well she could care less about the boy, her own son! If that didn’t say enough about the woman as a person, I had no idea what else would. The worse part was taking J

    ADELINE“So…this was all about aunt Dahlia.” He flinched, that far away look took over again for barely a second before the blank look took over.The lines on his forehead deepened as he processed the question, “In the beginning…yes.” He held my gaze, taking every word slow like he was being careful, like I was a minefield and he had to be careful not to step on the wrong spot, or in this case, get on my last nerve.“So you knew about her before you gave my father the loan.” I was trying to wrap my head around the whole thing, be more understanding, try to give him the benefit of the doubt, but his track record wasn’t helping. “Was the plan to punish me?” I blurted. It added up. The silent treatment, the late nights out without explanation, the passive aggressive way he always responded when I could get him to speak with me. It was never about me the entire time. It was about my aunty. It was all about a woman who left me for a… wait a minute!“When did your father divorce your mother

    ADELINE"Or I have no other choice but to put that face to some actual use." I snapped. Calming myself was a chore, but I managed it eventually. "I mean, some of that shine would make the counter sparkle again, don't you think?" I tapped my index finger against my jaw like I was deep in thought as I checked all corners of her face. Clicking my fingers in a quick snap, I gasped, "Oh that's true, you don't even do that, do you?"The bitch glared back at me, I could see the fumes practically coming out her ears, still I couldn't even take her seriously, not with how her entire fingers were coated in chocolate that once belonged to a kid. Talk about stealing candy from a baby."Try it and I would have Grayson kick you out of our home!" She fired, her voice more of a whine than whatever she was actually going for, it was torture to my ears. I would have just let it go if it meant not having to hear her speak again for the rest of my life.I scoffed at her empty threats. Maybe she knew, may

    ADELINE"Wait, what? How? Aren't you both still married and Scarlett isn't one to just let you win over her like that." I rushed, sounding more like I was ranting than anything else, but panic rose in my chest. In all my thinking of their still being married, I hadn't stopped to consider what that meant for Johnny, Scarlett was his real mother after all. So after over five years, she wanted custody of him now? Why?! What changed?"I don't understand, can she do that? I thought since you both are divorced, she can't..." the words caught in my throat as my lips finally caught up with my brain. "She can do that. She can totally take Johnny," a wedge settled in my throat as realization hit me like a sledgehammer, panic rushed through my blood like an intravenous shot of hard drugs and not the good kind, the kind that blurred out your brain and leaves you feeling like shit afterwards."Exactly, but thankfully Scarlett would always be Scarlett, I'm hoping I'm right about that and I can dig
