Pathetic, they are all pathetic. As if I'd be stupid enough to fall for their tricks. I'm not confessing to anything I said to Winona in that park. She pushed me. She wanted to kill my baby, Jayden's baby. Her jealousy of me consumes her

Jayden is mine now, and I'm not letting him go. I don't care that his brat is out of my home. Saves me the trouble of getting rid of her. If she ever comes back, I'll do just that. Phillip is back. He's just as pathetic.

"Are you feeling better since the incident?" she asks, her tone dripping with fake concern.

"Since that bitch Winona shoved me down the steps and killed Jayden's baby? Yeah, I'm fine, thanks. I'll be glad to get this plaster off, though." I wave my arm at her, my voice dripping with sarcasm, using the moment to mask the tremble of unease that Judy's presence always stirs within me.
