"You little sly..."


    "Watch your tongue," Tracie said, loving how the drama unfolded.


    Anastasia had intended to instill fear in Michelle and Amelia, by sending over two of Xavier’s men to pose as officers so that she could see what Michelle would do about the situation.


    And just like she and Tracie had thought, Michelle wanted to use them both of killing her child.


    Anastasia got her chance to use the video against Amelia and got the middle-aged woman arrested. As for Jack, she doesn’t know what to do with him yet.


    He was still hiding behind Theodore like a second skin as if the police station wasn’trge enough for Anastasia to spot him without even asking Theodore to move.


    She lets him be, knowing he’s already going through tough times with the loan sharks he borrowed money from to pay off his debt to her.


    She couldn’t wait to see what his next step would be when he’d been pressured enough by those hoodlums.


    "Officer, are you saying that Mrs. Wace still can’t be arrested despite killing my child?" Theodore questioned.


    "Unless evidence has been ced, we can’t do anything at the moment. In short, Mrs. Wace is free to roam around," the officer replied.


    Michelle’s fist was clenched tightly by her side, as she took in a deep breath and released it, intending to calm her nerves and not lose the little bit of sanity she had left after what had urred in the police station.


    "You still haven’t won, Anastasia. I’ll find evidence against you and make sure you’re put behind bars," she promised.


    Without waiting for Anastasia to respond, she pulled Theodore along with her and left the station.


    Jack, suddenly feeling naked by theck of his human barrier felt awkward when Anastasia’s eyesnded on him.


    With his head lowered, he gave a brief nod and left behind them.


    Gary, saddened by the fact that Amelia had been imprisoned, was vexed. Sadly, he couldn’t do anything but leave as well without being able to say a single word to Anastasia.


    Anastasia and Tracie left the police station and gazed into the sunset.


    "That was fun," Traciemented, popping a gum in her mouth. She stretched out her hand for Anastasia, and thetter took the gum in it. "Another member of the Harrison family down," she finished.


    "I will just wait to see what Michelle would want to pull off this time." Anastasia also popped the gum in her mouth. "She said <i>evidence</i>. Now, I wonder what evidence she’s going toe up with." She chuckled at the end of her words in anticipation.


    Tracie scoffed. "She can bring it on."

    Theodore dropped Gary and Jack at the house they stayed in before dropping Michelle at the penthouse he bought for her. A penthouse she didn’t want to share with any of her family members because she didn’t want them reeking up the ce, so she loved staying alone without their presence even seen or felt.


    "Are you sure you’ll be able to stay on your own?" Theodore asked, his hands on her t belly—caressing it. "I can stay with you if you want. You’ve already been through enough this evening."


    Michelle shook her head.


    "It’s okay! I’m alright," she responded, her voice barely a whisper. Theodore wrapped his hands around her and pulled her into a soft and gentle hug. "Besides, your wife must be looking for you by now." Her tone carried a slight tint of jealousy which earned her a chuckle from Theodore.


    "I’ll be back tonight, then," he gave in. "Regarding the evidence against Anastasia, I will find something. If I have to check every camera surrounding the premises of the building, I will do that so Mrs. Wace can finally be behind bars," he promised.


    Michelle grinned in satisfaction, unable to wait to see Anastasia behind bars already since killing her off seemed like an impossible task.


    This was the reason she chose to be with Theodore instead of her other sugar daddies. He was of the same level of power as Anastasia and Xavier’s family status. <i>Big influential people.</i>


    He could take care of the evidence if they wanted to. When he was done, she nned to inform him it was fake, so that they could manipte it. Michelle was willing to do anything at all as long as Anastasia was in jail.


    "Thank you."


    Theodore kissed her forehead, bid her goodbye, and left.


    Not long after he left, Michelle heard her doorbell ring from the living room.


    Thinking it was Theodore, she rushed to get it.


    "Did you forget something, bab—"


    Michelle’s eyes grew wide in shock when she saw the person standing before her.


    "Mrs. Perez!"
