Chapter 8

I really am ready, I just don't want his help. I don't want to have anything to do with Spencer Anthony.

I want absolutely nothing to do with the Anthony family except get my daughter back and build a new life.

Once I have that, both brothers won't even know I exist because I will disappear from the face of the earth.

With that in mind, I shove my phone face down, not bothering to respond. I slide back into the duvet, heart racing as I try to sleep.

My eyes flutter closed, and the image of my baby is the last I see before sleep takes over.

“Good morning, sleepy head.” Clarissa's loud and chirpy voice has my eyes fluttering open.

“What time is it?” I groan, rubbing the heel of my palm into my eye to ward off sleep. I slowly pull myself up into a sitting position, using my hand to push the duvet aside.

“It's almost eight, remember you have that job interview to attend. You can't pay your bills if you don't work.” She sasses, tugging at her hair hard.

She is dressed in a blue

    Chapter 21I squint my eyes, not wanting to believe I just saw Clary’s mop of hair pass by. The lady turns, her eyes meeting mine, and a swift smile graces my lips.It's not Clary.“That was really dope,” Spencer says, a little snort escaping from his lips.“Yeah, yeah. Honestly, I am just tired of crying. Now they bite me, I bite twice as hard.” I grit out, my fingers forming into a tight fist.“That's my girl.” He says, running his palm down my back to my waist before giving it a light pat.My stomach turns, butterflies exploding through as a warm lava spreads around my belly.I can't hold the little smile that tugs at my lips as I think What the hell was that?"“Come on, let's go. They should start soon.” He urges, taking a step forward.I oblige, moving too as we head into the court building. It's not that much of a fancy building; the place stands out as a normal building colored in black and white. The designs are elegant, so that the black is less than the white, yet they some

    Chapter 20 I run my fingers over my plain pants, the material smooth beneath my touch. My eyes flicker to the mirror one last time to take a look at myself.The cream cotton top I am wearing looks really fitting with the burgundy colored plain trousers I paired it with. The colors make the outfit look extra elegant.Today was the first hearing at the court because obviously that bastard took me to court on the basis of being unstable.Too unstable to mother my child, also because of the divorce. My throat burns as I take in a very deep breath, slowly letting it out again.I can do this.My eyes flicker to my door through the mirror when I hear a small creaking sound.Clary stands at my door, hand in the air as she tries to knock on the already-opened door.“Come in, Clary,” I murmur, turning around to see her properly.“Are you ready to kick some ass?” She asks, her lips curling up in the semblance of a smile.“Umm—not really more like burn them down, but yeah, that too.” I chuckle,

    Chapter 19My body slowly slumps against the door, head racked as different thoughts run through my mind.Are they really willing to go this far? Is Derrick that evil that he doesn't even have any sort of remorse towards me, after all he did to me?I press my lips tightly together, refusing to shed any more tears. Enough is enough; it's time I fight back with all my might.I have Spencer with me now, and with his resources, I can do a lot of damage when I want to—not if, because I will do so much damage.The loud buzzing of my phone has me dragging myself up from the floor to pick up my phone from the table.Spencer called.I don't hesitate to take the call.“Hey, how are you doing?” Is the first thing he asks me causing my insides to warm up, a small smile stretching my lips?“I am doing okay, better now. The lawyer came asking me to sign the divorce papers.” I explain, quickly briefing him on what happened.“The next move would be to try to take you to court. I will get my lawyers r

    Chapter 18“How was it?” Clarissa asks as soon as I step into the living room, she is literally bouncing on her feet.“What's with all the excitement?” I question, not bothering to grace her own question with a response.“Heyyyyyyy! Don't answer a question with a question; it's rude.” She whines, pushing her lips forward in a pout.A light chuckle escapes from my lips, “If you turn on the TV, you would definitely know how it went, wouldn't you?” I ask, my lips stretching up in a side smile.I can't believe how calm I feel at the moment. Spencer did warn me that they would bite back; they should go ahead, but right now, I am just so happy that I took a step against them.Not that much of a big step, but a step nevertheless. Very soon, I will pay them back and get my daughter all to myself.“You are smiling, I guess it went well then,” Clary says, eyes shining as her fingers move to her hair as usual.I don't respond as I make my way to my room, sleep calling my name very loudly.~“CLA

    Chapter 17I slide off the bed, reaching for my phone as I dial my contact at the good morning show.“Hello, Mrs Florida, how may I help you? It's quite late.” Matthew, during an interview on the Good Morning show, asks through the phone, his voice heavy as he sounds annoyed.I don't pay heed to it.“Oh, Matthew, I was just wondering how much you said that was that package you needed to get the other day?” I ask, taking a strand of my hair as I roll it in between my fingertips.I hear shuffling at the other end, indicating that he is getting up, and I have his full attention.“Umm— it's just a thousand dollars. Why do you ask?” He questions, even though he already knows why.Matthew Adams, host of the Good Morning show, is one of the country's largest shows. He is in his forties with blond hair and black eyes, always dressed in fancy suits, even though there is nothing fancy about him.“It's fine, I will wire the money to you right now–”.“What do I need to do?” He cuts me off.Now, t

    Chapter 16“Mommy, I want to eat some apples. I am hungry.” That tiny voice that always gets me on edge sweeps into my ears.I snap my eyes away from my mirror, my mask still slightly wet on my face as I stop patting it down. “What am I supposed to do about it, huh? You want me to leave my precious routine and tend to your stupid hunger. Get out of my face.” I bark, sending a sharp glare her way.She sniffs, shuffling back as she turns to leave, but I reach out, grabbing her by the ear and squeezing.“Ahhhh, mommy, please stop. I am sorry.” She cries out, throwing her little legs in the air.“How many times have I told you never to show your face near me unless your father is around or we go for an interview?” I ask, pulling at her ear harder, not minding her tears or cries.“I am sorry, I am just so hungry, Mommy.” Her tears rush down like a river as her entire face goes red from crying.I let go of her ear, using my feet, I pushed at her tiny legs, causing her to fall on the hard t
