'A Devious Act' - Harry Styles X Reader

Chapter Eight

She was above angry from that action, looking up at her rearview mirror she saw her daughter looking out the window, and her son sleeping.

"What else, poppet?" she asked, keeping an equal balance between looking at her daughter and driving.

"Daddy is trying to get us to call Karla mummy, I said no and he yelled at me. I ran to my room and hid under my bed," she said. (Y/N) was boiling with anger, trying to keep calm with deep breathing.

"Anything else? You know it is ok to tell Mummy everything, I won't tell or hurt you," she said, pulling into the doctor's office, and noting that they were early.

"Karla is mean to Alfie. She yelled at him because he wouldn't take food from her, he cried. And, she said a bad word when I asked her to play with me. The sad thing is, that daddy was always busy, he was in his office or his room. He told me I couldn't come in. He also told me I was not allowed to tell you about Karla, or else you would not love me. But, I was watching Alfie the whole time for them." Ivy told with a proud smile.

"Thanks, Sweetie. Mum has to make a quick call ok, can you play with your dolls for a bit?" her daughter nodded, playing with her doll's hair.

(Y/N) picked up the phone, dialling the number of Niall's. He needed to know, he needed to tell the lawyer. The ringing went on for a bit, the last ring he eventually picked up.

"Hey! Got the kids?" he asked, she smiled at his excited tone.

"Yeah, I do. Do you have a minute to chat?"
"Most definitely. What's up?" he questioned, hearing that he was walking around the house, with the banging and movement he was doing.

She told him everything. From the moment she opened the door with Karla there, with the outfit and all. To Harry's comment to her being childish. She escalated the situation with Alfie being alone in front of the television, the words that came out of Ivy's mouth. The minute she told him about the peanut accident, Niall had the same reaction with her. Repeating the fact that they will never go back to him again, and this is a lead case. Niall said he had to go, telling her that someone was coming over, and he needed to call their lawyer ASAP. She said goodbye and hanged up.

Opening the door to her car, she followed her actions and head to the office.

Karla and Harry sat on the couch watching the television. She was on his computer, doing a bit of online shopping, while he was emailing his lawyer talking about the case, and how to make it that (Y/N) is a bad mother.

"Love, I feel kind of bad to her. Like, some of this is not right in a way," he told her, she turned to him, and pity expression is shown. Her hand came to his cheek and tapped it a few times, lightly, tsking a bit.

"Peaches, it is fine. Look what she is doing to you. Taking the kids away from you, abducting them. She is screwing your best mate, and she is doing the same thing back to you. Trying to make you sound like a terrible person, even though you're not." she told him, he just nodded a frown present.

The case they had was strong, his lawyer dug up things on (Y/N), that he had no idea about. That being her first year of university. They had some evidence of her drinking, smoking, doing drugs. It screamed that she is irresponsible. The other factors they have, like Karla, said, was abduction. She just took their kids the night he kicked her out. Not letting him see them until he texted. She didn't tell where she was staying and refused to tell. Also the fact of the night she found out about Karla and him, the beating of his girlfriend. In his opinion, he has a solid case.

"Look, baby. Look at these cute shoes." Karla said brown hair flipped back so he could lean over and see. He saw them and nodded.

"They are nice," he said, texting back to a message.
