CHAPTER 21

Florida’s POV

I stared angrily at the TV.

My eyes burned from the endless stream of negative headlines. Negative headlines that should've been for that bitch.

[Florida Anthony's Courtroom Meltdown]

[Florida Anthony Loses Custody, Looks Unstable]

[The Fall of Florida Anthony]

My PR team was useless, spinning the news but only making it worse. Every statement they released was met with more ridicule and shaming from the internet.

I was a laughingstock.

I lashed out at everyone around me, my temper snapping at the slightest provocation.

And then, at dinner, it happened.

“Mommy Clara!” Rose squealed, looking up at me with big, innocent eyes.

I froze, my fork freezing mid-air too. Mommy Clara? My gaze narrowed.

“Who told you to call her that?”

Rose took a step back, her eyes wide with fear. “I.. I just..”

“You think you're smart, huh?” I sneered, my anger rising. “You think you can call her mommy? She's not your mommy! I am! I'm the only one who's ever taken care

    CHAPTER 33Spencer's POVI casually sipped the cocktail in my grip as I discussed the details of our biggest operation yet with Marco.“We've got a shipment coming in tonight, and I need you to make sure it's cleared on your end.”Marco nodded, his expression serious. “No problem, Spence. I've got my guys on it.”Just then, Kristine slipped into the circle. “Hey, boys. Just wanted to give you an update. The drugs are being transported safely, and we should have them in Chicago by dawn.”I nodded, a small smirk spreading across my face. This was it. This was the big one.But before I could say anything, Rachel's voice cut through the music, announcing the night's entertainment.I turned, my eyes scanning the crowd until they landed on Clara, stumbling slightly as Rachel helped her onto the stage.My smile shifted, and my expression turned to stone. What was Rachel doing?And then I heard it. “..and the girls are going to get seduced on stage!”My frown deepened.What the fuck did Rache

    CHAPTER 32Clara's POVI smoothed down my dress, feeling uneasy as Spencer led me into the hotel lobby.I'd only agreed to come because he'd been insisting, and I finally gave in.But now, I was having second thoughts.As we walked in, I realized with a sinking feeling that this was a bachelorette party. The lobby was filled with rope-wrapped women, balloons, and a giant penis-shaped piñata. And strippers.Lots of strippers, all with perfect bodies and sultry smiles.I felt uncomfortable, my eyes scanning the room for an escape route. Spencer, sensing my unease, leaned in close. “Relax, Clara.” He murmured, his breath tickling my ear.But it was hard to relax when there were men in thongs dancing on tables. I fumbled with my top, feeling self-conscious, and glanced over at Spencer.That's when I saw his gaze was fixed on something across the room, his eyes narrowed in a way that sent a shiver down my spine.I followed his line of sight, but there was nothing unusual, just a group of w

    CHAPTER 31Clara's POVI was still trying to compose myself, my face still burning from the earlier embarrassment, when there was a knock at the door.I walked over to answer it, expecting it to be the service lady with our food. I opened the door, and she smiled politely as she wheeled in the food cart.I stepped aside, gesturing for her to come in, and she began to set up the food on the small table.Spencer was sitting on the chair opposite that table, his towel-clipped legs crossed, looking like the epitome of relaxed.I, on the other hand, was still trying to play it cool.The service lady handed me the bill, her eyes flicking to Spencer for a brief moment, and then sticking. I instantly caught that.And I was not pleased.For reasons I'm yet to know.Her gaze lingered on him for a while, particularly his toned chest. I noticed it, and Spencer, that arrogant jerk, noticed it too, but he just leaned back in his chair, a small smirk playing on his lips, clearly enjoying the attenti

    CHAPTER 30Clara's POVI stepped off the plane in Mexico.Spencer was by my side, his eyes fixed on something in the distance. I followed his gaze, but all I saw was the usual airport chaos.As we made our way to the exit, I noticed Spencer's phone had been glued to his ear the whole time, his expression darkening by the minute. I frowned. “What's wrong?”He turned to me, his eyes filled with frustration. “The penthouse I rented out, there's been a mix-up. It's no longer available.”I nodded. “We can just book a hotel room. No big deal, right?”Spencer's scowl deepened. “It's not just that. I had everything set up there. Now I have to sort it all out.”I gazed around, then back at him. “We'll figure it out. A hotel will suffice.”He took a deep breath and tucked a hand into his pocket. “Yeah. Let's just find a hotel for now.”We hailed a taxi and headed to the nearest hotel. As we walked into the lobby, I felt a sense of relief wash over me.We wouldn't be stranded.But as we approac

    CHAPTER 29Clara's POVI was lost in thought as I zipped up my suitcase.As I glanced around the room, my eyes landed on the door, and I couldn't help but wonder, again, why Alisha had suddenly dropped by after months of the court hearing.What did she want? Why had she actually come to my house, begging for forgiveness?I shook my head, dismissing the thoughts. It didn't matter now. I was leaving, and I wouldn't have to deal with her or anyone else who'd wronged me.I grabbed my suitcase and headed out the door, locking it behind me as I made my way to Spencer's car.I opened the door and slid into the passenger seat beside him. His eyes were fixed on the road as he smoked a cigarette, his left hand resting on his knee.I raised an eyebrow as I caught sight of the cigarette. “You still smoke?”Spencer paused, then looked at me. “You can see that everywhere, can't you?”The car fell silent for a while. I shifted, fastening my seat belt.“What about...” I started, but then slowly trail

    CHAPTER 28Derrick's POVInside the room, I ducked back behind the door, landing on the bed.What had Spencer and Clara been doing metres away from this door?Did they... see me?Florida soon walked in, closing the door behind her with a soft click. She leaned against the door, her eyes sparkling as she pushed a stray strand of hair behind her ear.“Hey, handsome.”Handsome, huh?That's the first time she's complimented me in months.She approached me with a sway in her hips. “You were brilliant with the nanny plan. We would've lost that court hearing without you.”I nodded, trying to keep my expression neutral. “Just doing what's necessary.”Florida's smile widened, and she straddled me, her legs wrapping around my waist like a vice. She hugged me, her breath hot against my ear.“You know, if not for the fact that the nanny had family members who'd press charges...” She whispered. “I'd've hired people to kill her. Easier than just getting her kidnapped to shut up.”I froze. “What?”I
