“What happened to her?” I gathered the courage to ask. I was not close to the girl but because she was Clinton's daughter and having six kids made me love kids. “I didn't get to speak to any of them, Jess, Clinton was so stressed that I...” “Clinton is there?” "Yes, Jess, Sophia is there too.” “That bitch,” I cursed and stood up. “Where are you going??”&n

~SOPHIA~I pulled away from Layla and tried to stop her, but Layla stopped me. “Clinton needs her,” she said, and I rolled my eyes. I didn't want to cause any problems, Clinton was now my husband, and even if he cried in her arms, it would be me he would spend his forever with.  “I don't want her here, she's the cause of my daughter's condition,” I sobbed, and Clinton glared at me without saying anything before he fell back into her arms. “I know exactly how you feel, Sophia, but now is not the best time,” Layla said, and I cursed her inwardly. She was so stupid to believe me.

“Officers, take her away,” I instructed. I couldn't let her threats scare me. They dragged Sophia away, while she was laughing.

I turned to confirm, and it was him.“Are you okay?” he asked, and I stood up and fell into his arms. He patted my back, and I didn't stay for long in his arms as I pulled away in a few seconds.“I'm fine but Clinton is not,” I said, walking back to Loren. “Please give me your phone.”“Jess?”"Please, Loren, I need it,” I said, wiping away my tears. She hesitated but still handed me her phone. I knew the password, so I didn't need to ask for it. “If anything happens, please call me,” I said before I walked away, ignoring them as they asked where I was going.When I reached outside, I realized I had forgotten to ask for one of their
