I freed her neck, and she put a distance between us.  “Tell me!” I demanded, and she laughed while examining her neck. “You thought I would tell you anything, I thought you were smarter than that, Jessica,” she mocked, and I hit the cell out of frustration. “I can’t believe you almost killed me in their eyes, and you,” she yelled at the guards. “You are going to pay for this, I promise you that, assholes,” she massaged her neck.  

“I don't need to ask you about your decision; you know what's best for your family. Three days are enough for you to decide,” he said. I was not able to move a muscle. I knew he was capable of killing my whole family if he wanted to, Clinton was fighting for his life, and even if he was okay, I was not going to let him get involved in this; it was my parents' sin, and I needed to pay for it. “How much do you want?” I knew money could not buy such an important man, but I had to try.“Ouch! Now I'm hurt; how can you say such a thing? My love is not for sale.” His voice was soft. He took steps towards me, and I didn't move this time; my back was already against the wall.“Please!” I closed my eyes as his hands reached for my face. He caressed my cheeks.“Don't worry, you will love my touch very soon. Now leave before I change my mind and decide to kidnap you instead.” When I felt him move backward, I opened my eyes and ran towards the door, but once I reached the door, I stopped and turn

Before I could respond, he hung up, "fuck!” I cursed and stood up.“Is everything alright, Mrs. Clinton?” Matilda asked.“Yes, everything is fine,” I lied.“Don't let it bother you, Mrs. Clinton, kids are like that, they will come around.”"Yes, I know,” I said. She was about to say something when the doorbell rang, and it caught her attention.“I'll go get that,” she said, and I stopped her.“No, I will go get it, just clear the table.” I didn't wait for her response. I was not expecting anyone, what if it was Accardo? When I reached the door, I peeped through the peephole and was relieved to see it was not Accardo.“Layla!” I opened the door and took the baby from her arms.“Hi Jessica,” she greeted. I patted Sophie's head. Yes, Layla and Jade adopted her. When they went to change her guardians with Clinton, they ended up talking him into turning Sophie into Jade's daughter. He wanted to compensate Layla for what he made her go through, so he granted her wishes. Sophie was now Jade

~JESSICA~“What?” He was confused. “You wanted to marry me, so you left my family alone, right? I'm ready, and you said I have sixty hours. Well, I don't need them, I can marry you now.” “Are you sure?” He asked, and it made me think, I had not yet sent my kids away, I couldn't marry him while they were here, and Clinton was still in a critical condition, so no, I was not sure.

~JESSICA~ “Did she just call me uncle? Maybe I misheard her.” Clinton turned to me, and I shook my head."Sophie, can you give Mommy the phone, please?” I said."Okay, Aunt Jessica,” she said, going silent for a few minutes. Then we heard Layla's voice.“Clinton, Jess, how are you guys doing?” Layla greeted and Clinton didn't respond. I knew he was holding himself back from saying nonsense.“Good, Layla, Sophie just called Clinton uncle, are you aware of that?”“Oh yes, we introduced Jade as her father and told her Clinton is her uncle.”"Oh, so I'm her uncle now. Great.”"Clinton, you need to calm down, I only did this for our own sake.”“And how is this going to benefit me in any way?" Clinton sounded angry.“Think about it...”“There's nothing to think about, you are stealing my daughter from me, first you asked for custody, I agreed because I damn thought I owed you, then you changed her last name, then you asked to move, I agreed, and now you decided to do this; introduce me as
