Cierra's POV

Don't come for me unless I send for you
know you're dead to me
~~~

I have no idea why I just did that.

I shouldn't have done that.

But I had no choice.

I just told my parents I'm pregnant.

Maybe they won't believe me?

Oh screw it, they'll find out soon enough.

My parents are so speechless right now. Possibly in shock.

And then. Papi reacted.

"Why would you sleep with him Katherine?!" He demanded.

Wait... what? Did they hear me?

I looked at Kathy and she shared a look of confusion with me.

"Answer me!" Papi's frightening voice which we had never heard before boomed again.

This time, Kathy wiped her tears away and faced him angrily. "Gee, I don't know Papi. Maybe because I was fucking horny!"

Oh shit. Bitch suddenly got balls. Holy shit.

Papi's face turned even whiter in shock at her response.

And then, he did something he's never done.

He raised a hand to strike her face and I immediately jumped in front of her, and Mami immediately pushed both of us back and stepped in front. He stopped when he looked at her.

"Rule number one, Draco Lucius Malfoy. We don't ever lay a hand on our children. Ever." Mami spoke in a voice I've only heard her use at work and in her recent fight with him.

This is what we like to call her alpha female voice. This voice, means she's not taking shit from anyone, it reminds everyone that she is the one with the power.

Papi immediately put his hand back down. Mami spoke again. "Now, I've had it with you. Walk away. Now. Breathe, splash some cold water on your face, I don't care. But get out until you're ready to apologize to your daughters. Out." Papi didn't move. "Now, Draco."

There was no need for her to yell, she never did when she spoke like this. When she spoke this calmly, her anger was more feared than if she had yelled.

Without a word, Papi turned around and stormed out of the room. And though he was silent, his exit spoke volumes.

The tension in the room after the door slammed closed was palpable, I could almost taste it.

My anger though, that I definitely tasted, and felt. The taste was bitter on my tongue. The anger radiated off my skin like fire, I think Kathy mentioned something about my skin boiling, it's from my anger.

"Alright, Kathy. Sweetie. Come here." Mami opened her arms and Kathy rushed to hug her back. "I'm so sorry about your Papi, he's a bit... overprotective over his little girl."
