The hell is she thinking?

The hell was he thinking?

She manipulated kent into having kids, tricked him into confessing that he did say it- not only, it was because she got him to say it was a joke which was a confession and used it to defend herself she took it literally by bearing his kids without his knowledge?

How can he be so stupid to claim that he wants her bear his children, no sex is ever that good...

I thought about Lillian briefly.

Damn it..

I shook my thoughts off momentarily to go back to thinking.

Mary's in jail for  the time being for causing such a disruption.

But everything she said, checked out.

I'm at my kitchen counter top looking at the vault key with the address and location in which storage unit it's in..

She wasn't lying.

About anything.

What was her angle?

Did she purposely planned to get detained for something else than shining light on the true crime she committed so when she's released, she doesn't get tried again-

"Fucking smart ass, I swear," I grumbled.

She goes in for something petty, gets on probabtion, next thing you know, she's running away with half the company's assets to her name in a private account.

I can't let her get away with this.

She still ended up in jail. But she's not in for the right reason, I need to go down to the station.

I'm not even sure if visiting her is a good idea.

"What's on your mind," warm finger tips greeted me but I only got chills.

I quickly removed Lillian's hands away from me.

I still can't face her, call me immature all you want, but I've yet to find the strength to look her in the eyes and talk about what's really bothering me.

"I- I know you're upset from the other day-

"I'm fine," I cut her off.

"I- I know... I just- if you want someone to talk-

"If you know so much, please... just drop it. We're on a schedule and things are in a time slot," I brushed her off and walked past her.

"Please talk to me," her voice cracked and a sharp pang hit my chest.

"Do you know how hard it's been to be around you after yesterday?" My eyes were burning with tears.

"Yes because when I look at you, all I see is how much I've hurt you- time and time again!" She yelled.

She's keeping score?

Hell, I forgot the number of times she's hurt me; I usually take them as I go and keep going..

"I didn't know- I swear I didn't know it was that serious," Lillian dropped to the ground in front of me.

Her tears were streaming against my leg as I looked up into the ceiling feeling my tears  go down the corner of my eyes.

"We wouldn't be in this mess if I had known before hand," I shuddered.

"I- I know that now- I swear I didn't know before. I just knew how badly he expressed about you owning a lot of shares and your net worth scared him," she was clinging onto me.
