"Aislinn what are you doing here and where is Mariah?" Darius asked.

"I work here and Mariah is gone. Why are you here?" I asked.

"I came here to see Mariah like you heard earlier" he said.

"Are you taking Kaiser's place?" He asked.

"Yes I am do you have a problem with that?" I asked.

"No I'm glad" he said with a smile but I just gave him a hard stare.

"About what you heard. I'm really sorry I've tried explaining things to Alessia but Mariah has been feeding her lies but I promise to make everything better" he said.

"I don't care if she doesn't want me in her life I understand I was a bad mother"

"Aislinn don't ever something like that. You were an amazing mother and wife but I was the problem. I was the one who was a bad husband and father. I am really sorry for what I did" he said.

"What did you mean by you shouldn't have listened to Mariah?" I asked.

"She told me something" he said. I guess he doesn't want to tell me.

"She told me she was pregnant with my child. That was before we got married. On our engagement night I got drunk and the next morning she was beside me naked and after our wedding she told me she was pregnant and it was mine then she traveled for almost a year and when she returned she came to see that was your birthday. I had just gotten out of the shower and she was naked on our bed that's when I told her to leave but she didn't and you came" he said.

"I don't know if I should believe you or not but you should have told me before if it was true" I said.

"Because I thought I was in love with Mariah. You might not know but Mariah and I used to date before I met you at your father's party. I am really sorry Aislinn" I said.

"But you cheated on me more than once with her. How do you explain that?" I asked.

"I told you I thought I loved her but I didn't know it was only a crush I had on her" he said.

"Do you know the pain I felt when I saw you two that day? Of you don't because you never loved me like I loved you. If you think we are ever getting back together then we aren't after what you put me through I don't think I will ever love you again" I said.

Lies lies lies. You are in love with the man.

"I know and I am really sorry about that" he said taking my hand and I tried taking it back but he pulled me into him and smashed his lips on mine.

You missed the lips didn't you.

‘he has been cheating on you before you two were married. I mean you were the only person who was stupid enough not to see it’

I pulled away from him immediately and our foreheads were touching.

"I can't do this" I whispered

"I'm sorry Aislinn. I should have told you before. I promise you I will make things right" he whispered back and I shook my head before releasing myself from his hold.

"I'm sorry Darius" I said.

"No I'm sorry" he said and my phone rang.

"Hello?" I spoke.

"Is this miss Santiago?" The person asked.

"Yes why?" I asked.

"Your daughter got into a fight" She said.

"Which one?" I asked.

"Both of them" she said.

"I'll be there soon" I said.

"What's wrong?" Darius asked.

"Ezlynn and Alessia got into a fight" I said.

"I have a feeling Alessia started it" Darius said. I do too

"Let's go I'm driving" Darius said and I nodded.

"Alyvia I am going I won't be back until tomorrow" I said.

"Is everything okay Miss?" She asked.

"Yes don't worry. You can all close at one today. I'll see you tomorrow"I said and she nodded.

"Let's go" Darius said and I nodded.

"Miss Santiago, Mr Esposito please come" we entered the office and Ezzy and Alessia were sitting in the corner.

"Your daughter Alessia started this fight. The fight has something to do with you Miss Santiago. Both girl were fighting because of you. All I heard was Alessia bad mouthing you and Ezlynn was defending you making Alessia scratch her face and that's how they got into a fight" The principal said.

"Thank you Miss Goldberg we will have a talk with both of them" Darius said and she nodded shaking both our hands and we left her office with Alessia and Ezlynn.

"Mommy Aislinn I'm sorry. I didn't mean to get into a fight" Ezlynn apologized.

"It's okay Ezzy" I said with a smile.

"Alessia I've had enough apologize to both of them" Darius said

"No I won't. Why should I apologize I was right" Alessia said.

‘Just ignore Alessia for some time she will eventually come back to you after noticing she isn't gaining your attention ’

I should probably do what Marc said but what if she hates me more?

"Alessia apologize now" Darius said.

"I won't apologize now or ever" Alessia said.

"It's okay Darius let it be" I said.

"But Aislinn she needs to learn to respect. This is not how I raised you to be Alessia. Apologize now" Darius said.

"Maybe you didn't raise me well because Aislinn wasn't there with you and I already told you I won't apologize" Alessia said. She is angry at me. I really hurt her.

"Sir I am sorry. It's my fault. I am sorry sir. I am sorry Alessia" Ezzy said.

"Ezlynn you shouldn't apologize it wasn't you" Darius said.

"You are grounded. I am never letting you speak to Mariah again. I already told you not to but you always find a way. I am taking away all your gadgets when you realize your mistake I will give it back" Darius said.

"Darius you are being too harsh on her. I said I am fine there is no need to do all that" I said.

"See the whore is fine" Alessia said.

"I'm done with you Alessia" Darius said and Alessia looked at him sadly.

"Can we go?" I asked Darius who nodded.

"I'll sit in front with my Dad so sit at the back with your daughter" Alessia said and Darius looked furious.

"It's okay I'll sit with Ezzy" I said getting in the back.

"Mommy Aislinn I am really sorry" Ezzy said.

"It's okay Ezzy you already apologized but never get into a fight it's not good" I said and she nodded her head.

We arrived at Dad's house and I went straight to the kitchen.

"Aunt Helena please call all the maids I need to have a talk with you all" I said to Helena the head of the staff. She was my nanny when growing up. Dad and I have tried to get her to retire but she doesn't want to.

"Now. Which one of you had the guts to poison my father's food?" I asked.
