Lily watched her mother storm out of the room and she sighed, she bit her lip, and blinked back her tears.
“Sometimes I doubt if she really gave birth to Lily.” Max said and Axel glared at him. He knew Lily was trying her best not to cry.
Malia also stood up and walked out too.
Kendra suddenly giggled and clapped her hands, everyone turned to her and Mr. Blackwell smiled. He was happy, he has grandchildren.
“Hey, she looks a little like me.” Nora said with a wide smile and Lily looked at her. She scoffed and rolled her eyes.
“How old are they?” Mr. Blackwell asked. Lily suddenly stood up with her daughter.
“I want to leave.” She told Axel and he nodded, he also stood up and they both walked out of the dining room.
Nora hurriedly stood up and went after them, she got to the living room and rushed to Lily. She stood in front of her, stopping her from moving.
“Hey, Lily… ” Nora trailed off as Lily slapped her.
She gasped and placed her hand on her cheek in shock, Lily walked away from her and walked out of the house before she could recover from the shock.
Nora turned to Axel and he smirked.
“I got mine too yesterday.” He said and chuckled lightly before walking out of the house.
“Okay, I deserve it.” She muttered and creased her cheek.

Tania burst into her house and groaned angrily, she threw her purse on the couch and yelled out in frustration.
Malia also walked in and stared at her mother. She watched how she started to pace around in the living room.
“Fuck.” She screamed and knocked down the lap next to her, it shattered and Malia flinched in fear.
“Mum, you need to calm down.” She said. Tania looked at her and glared hard at her.
“Calm down? Did you just tell me to calm down? This is all your fault!” She screamed at her.
“How? I didn’t do anything wrong.”
“It has been over a year. Over a fucking year and yet you did not get pregnant not to mention having a child.” Tania screamed at her daughter.
“Well it’s not my fault he wouldn’t touch me. What was I supposed to do?” Malia yelled back.
“Fucking try another means! You are a lady, you are my daughter, you are supposed to be smart!”She snapped.
Mr. McCall suddenly showed up in the living room and he looked back and forth between his daughter and wife.
“What is going on here?”
“Ask your daughter.” She replied and glared at Malia.
“For over a year, all you did was relax and shop for different dresses and bags!”
“Stop yelling at me like I did nothing. I am the reason you are a fucking billionaire. I helped you, I helped you that night we ruined Lily, I did most of the work. And who cares if she is back? I have saved enough money that I can spend… ”
Tania cut her off and slapped her hard, Malia held her cheek and started to cry.
“Tania.” Mr. McCall called but she ignored him.
“You know nothing. You know nothing at all. I am the reason you are here today, I have sacrificed a lot for you and this family.”
“Indeed. All you have done is for yourself. Lily is so lucky you hate her. You are the worst mother.” Malia said in tears and walked out of the house.
Tania groaned again and ran her hand through her hair.
“Tania.”
“Don’t fucking call me.” She snapped at her husband and walked away. She was determined to do anything, anything to get what she wants!

Lily and Axel arrived home, their kids fell asleep on their way home and they laid them as soon as they got to Lily’s room.
“We need to talk.” Axel said to her and she nodded, they both walked out of the room.
Lily leaned on the wall in the hallway and sighed, she looked at Axel and gave him a questioning look.
“What?” She asked when he wasn’t saying anything.
“The kids. They have my last name.” He said and Lily rolled her eyes.
“What?”
“They have my last name.”
“Just because you are their father doesn’t… ”
“The divorce papers I gave you were fake.” He cut her off and Lily furrowed her brows.
“Legally, they have my last name. Their last name is Blackwell, not Harris.” Axel added and Lily stared at him. Tears welled up in her eyes.
“Why are you doing this to me? The only reason your family is so cool with me is because of these kids. It’s not fair, Axel. You can’t just show up and take over everything.”
“I am helping you.”
“I am not happy, Axel. I don’t need your help, I don’t want this. I want Gavin.” She cried and Axel groaned.
“Stop saying his name because I might actually do something to him this time.” Axel threatened.
“Of course. Kill everyone like you always do.”
“I am tired of having this conversation. You are my wife and you will listen to me.” He raised his voice a little and Lily smiled.
“Of course, goodnight.” she replied and walked into her room.

MORNING
Lily walked down the stairs carrying her kids carefully, she got to the living room and was surprised to see Max.
“Lily.” He called with a smile and she smiled a little at him. He really didn’t do anything wrong to her, she wasn’t mad at him.
He walked to her and carried Kendra from her.
“How are you?” He asked her.
“Fine.” She muttered.
“Hey, I’m sorry about everything that is happening.”
“Yeah, it’s okay.”
“If you need anything, I am always here.” He assured her.
“Can I ask you something?” Lily asked out of the blue.
“Of course, shoot.”
“What did Axel do to Gavin?” She asked and he chuckled.
“Oh, about that. Axel didn’t do anything. He just found out that Gavin is… “
