    “Not only are you trying to take my husband from me, your b**h friend is trying to do that too?”


    Safiya questioned, looking between us and I was filled with confusion.


    “What?” I asked, pressing my lips together and balling my hands into fists. I was not sure what she


    was using Lyra of, but I didn’t like that she was using her at all. “Safiya, whatever this is, you


    need to stop. There are people here,” I said, shaking my head and ring at her.


    Lyra stepped forward and I watched as she crossed her hands in front of her. “What the hell are you


    talking about?” She asked with fury flowing from her voice. “Lyra…” I called and she looked at me. I


    gave her a sign with my eyes that told her that we


    needed to leave. I did not want any of this, and I sure as hell did not want Safiya to embarrass Lyra


    because she had problems with me.


    “No,” Lyra said, shaking her head. “I want to hear what this usation is about,” she said. I looked


    at Safiya, knowing that Lyra would not want to give this up. If she was used of something falsely,


    she wanted to know why the person was using her. She was not one to back down easily. That


    was nice, but it was very disadvantageous for us right now.


    “Don’t look at me like that,” Safiya said with a sharine-sweet smile. “Come on, Lyra,” she said,


    turning to Lyra. “Tell her how you were trying to take Kaiden away. You tried to seduce him at

    the children’s party in the school bathroom. Tell her,” she said and my eyebrows rose.


    Lyra’s face became pale and she looked at me immediately, shaking her head. I scoffed and smiled


    at her. I knew whatever Safiya was cooking up right now was a lie, and she was only trying to get in


    between Lyra and me. That made me furious. How many things was she going to try to take away


    from me? Just how many?


    “Safiya, don’t you dare,” I said through gritted teeth, taking a step towards her. Lyra took a step back


    and watched us both with an expression in her eyes that I could not read. “What? Why don’t you


    ask Lyra if I’m lying?” She asked with a smirk, taking a step towards me,ing lower down the


    staircase.


    “Shut up…” I said through gritted teeth. “I don’t want to hear a word from you,” I added, turning


    away from her and towards Lyra. There were tears in my eyes and Lyra’s eyes softened as soon as


    she saw them. My day was officially so ruined that there was nothing that could make it better and I


    could not possibly go to see or talk to my dad while feeling like this.


    “Come on, let’s go,” I told Lyra. I grabbed Francisco’s hand and was about to take a step when


    Safiya grabbed my hand. “I’m not done with you!” She yelled and I furiously snatched my hand from


    her grip. I started to walk away when I heard everyone around let out a collective gasp just as


    Safiya cried out.


    I turned around to look at her and my heart dropped when I saw her on the ground. I let go of


    Francisco’s hand and took a step towards her before I stopped myself. She was whimpering and


    people were gathering around her. Some others were ring at Lyra, Francisco, and me.

    1 let out a sigh and took Francisco’s hand before walking towards the exit again. I broke into a jog


    and Lyra raced after me. ‘Freda, Freda wait! She called, but I ignored her. I got into the back seat of


    the car with Francisco. I wiped the tears that were flowing down my cheeks and buckled Francisco


    in.


    “Are you okay, mommy?” Francisco asked with concern in his voice. I nodded and sniffled. I was


    miserable. This was stupid but it hurt too much.


    “Freda…” Lyra called softly when she got to the window beside my seat. I looked at her and handed


    her the key to the car. “Can we…” She started to ask but I shook my head. I did not want to talk


    about it, about anything. Not now, at least.


    She nodded and walked to the driver’s side with a defeated look on her face. She looked like sheProperty ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    was about to cry but I could notfortable her. Not when I was feeling like absolute shit.


    She climbed into the car, started it, and started to drive away. Just as she turned out of the parking


    lot, something smashed into the back windshield and Francisco screamed. I gasped and turned


    around just as I heard people yelling. “She tried to hurt our Luna and her baby,” one of them yelled.


    Lyra put more speed and soon we were away from the mall.


    “Dad’s ce?” Lyra softly asked from where she was, ncing in the rearview mirror. I shook my


    head and she nodded in response.
