Valerie’s POV My throat felt dry, my fingers clenched beside me as I walked heavily down the hall towards the main door. This can’t be happening. I can’t let this fool come in now and ruin everything for me. For goddamns sake, it’s my children’s first birthday together. “Ma’am,” I heard the receptionist call out. I ignored, heading towards the door. I’d spotted a figure that looked so much like his. “Hey, Kendrick or whatever it is you’re called,” I screamed. He tilted back, a solid glimpse thrown at me. He smirked like a jerk he was. “What are you doing here?” I questioned. “I suppose you are amazed to see me. Standing healthy and fit. But guess what, my existence won’t be a surprise to Ethan. I wonder why?” “Oh, yeah. He’s not the crazy b***h who tried to kill me.” He yelled.
