Chapter 114

Angela’s POV

I didn’t return home that night. I waited till morning to leave my mom’s side. She hadn’t eaten since Brittany took her last breath at the hospital and I was determined to help put her back together. I had to move in with her. I was all she had. It would be bad if I turned my back on her.

I would give it two days before I move in with her for a while.

As I arrived at home, I saw Mason and Velicia in the kitchen. She was busy making breakfast while Mason laughed at something she said. I was like a stranger in a place I’d turned to home. They both turned to look at me and before they could say a word, I walked away.

I entered Reina’s room to see Darius helping her get ready. I took Reina from his hand without a prior warning and put her on the bed.

I smiled at her. “Morning mama,” she said cheekily

“Morning babes. Slept well?”

“Yes, mama,”

“Good. Let’s get you ready to go see your grandma. She misses you and she wants to see you,”

She smiled at me excitedly. “Yes, I can’t wait to see grandma. Can we wait till after breakfast? Daddy’s girlfriend is making breakfast,”

Daddy’s girlfriend? “I didn’t know your daddy had a girlfriend,”

“She’s pretty, isn’t she?” She asked me.

Darius growled lowly. Both Reina and I turned to look at him. “You know what she meant by that, Baby,” Darius addressed me.

“Do I?” I asked with an eyebrow raised.

“She’s making his favorite,”

A terrible ache began in my chest. “Wow, I didn’t know your dad had a favorite food. He never told me he did. I’m guessing this girlfriend of his knows him better than I do,”

Reina giggled. “She does,”

If she wasn’t my daughter, I would’ve smacked her ass but I frowned at her instead and she stopped giggling. She didn’t know what was wrong but she knew she had to stop.
