He clutched Mollie's shirt, threatening, "Spit it out. Who's the guy?" Mollie kept her lips sealed.
Antobellowed at me, "Did you hand Mollie over to that jerk too?" A mind full of garbage saw trash everywhere.
Back then, Antowas with Caroline. She snapped sprivate pictures ofwith another man and then showed them to Antoto push for a divorce.
Antolapped up every word Caroline fed him, and the very next day after we split, he tied the knot with her.
I didn't bother to answer Antonio.
He was convinced he had it all figured out.
His breaths cout ragged, and he let loose with a few slaps on Mollie.
Mollic, my pride and joy, I had never even raised my voice to her.

"You're just like your mom, a piece of trash!" he spat.
Mollie burst into tears.
I gaped at Antonio, and it seemed like he got a pang of guilt.
He clammed up right away and then stared at the red marks on Mollie's face, clueless about how to fix it.
There was a flash of memory. Antoholding Mollie for the first time.
He was a pretty good dad back then.
But ever since Mollie fell ill, even that sliver of paternal love had dried up.
He showered all his affection on our son, Carson Kaufman.
"Mollie, I didn't mean that..." Antofinally apologized to Mollie, his voice soft for the first time.
Mollie glared at him, her usually fair face now streaked with red from his hand, blood trickling from her nose.
I flew at Antonio, claws out. "You beat your own daughter? Are you even human?" Mollie had been sickly since birth. I was scared he might actually kill her.
She was in so much pain that she couldn't even cry, but she was still trying to shield me. "I'm fine, Mom. Don't fight with Dad. He might hurt you." After I'd left my mark on his face, Antoraised his fist, but then just stopped.
He watched Mollie try to stop her nosebleed and then quickly grabbed a cloth to help, his face full of regret.
Antosaid, "I'm just worried about you. Your mom isn't a good person. Don't end up like her..." I stared at him, confused about his game.
If he truly cared about Mollie, why did he cheat on me? The phone rang. Antopicked it up, his voice turning gentle in a way I've never heard. "Don't worry, honey. I'm coming hnow," His eyes flickered to Mollie.
I had a bad feeling. A chill ran down my spine.
As soon as he was distracted by the call, I grabbed Mollie and made a dash for the door.
If we could just reach the security, we would be out of this nightmare! The door creaked open, and in strutted Antonio's mother, Linda Sherman, her dog on a leash.
Linda was surprised to seeand stepped right in my way. "Grace, why are you here? You heard Antohas got money now and thought you'd try to rekindle things?" "I'm not here to rekindle things. Just get out of my way," I shot back, ready to shoulder past Linda.

If I hadn't pulled a knife on Linda, Mollie could've died at three.
This whole thing was just off I had always had a bad feeling about what Linda and Antomight be capable of doing to Mollie.
Antograbbed Mollie right from behind my back.
He tried to ease me. "I'm taking Mollie to get checked out. Don't Worry." He didn't givetto respond and just left with Mollie in tow.
Linda and her maids formed a wall, blocking me. She ordered the maid. to lock the door behind them.
