Yes, Alpha Daddy
Was it real?
"You just missed April."
Thank Goodness. "What’s going on with your stepmother?" I tried not to be angry, but my voice was definitely terse.
Her smile faltered. "What are you talking about?"
"I just had a visit from your stepmother, and she's trying to get $150,000 out of me. Are you a part of that?"
For a moment, she just looked at me, studying me like she didn't know who I was. And then I could see it in her face, the moment everything inside her shut down, and with it came the panic that once again, I was letting my anger get the best of me.
