Anastasia's POV:

My head hurts as I wake up not in the bedroom I remember being in. I turn over and fall to the ground. I groan as the pain runs through my body.

"Anastasia Sanchez." Bruce says as he walks up to me and helping me to my feet. I sit on the couch and hold my head in my hands.

"I told you not to drink."

"Will you relax." My head was throbbing and him yelling wasn't making it much better.

"You said you'd be back in my room sleeping but I find you here with a bottle of liquor."

"Stop it, my head is fucking hurting!" I finally said back. Who the hell does he think he's yelling at.

"Well it wouldn't be hurting if you weren't being irresponsible, and drinking like a bitch!" I stare at him with wide eyes.

Did he just call me a bitch.

I got up from my seat on the couch and slap him across his face. When he looks back at me his eyes are fuming with anger. But I couldn't care less.

I was angrier than him.

"Watch you fucking mouth Bruce!" Before he could respond to me, I walk towards the stairs.

I stomp my feet as I walk up the stairs.

What is up his ass.

He wasn't even that mad yesterday.

I walk into his room and walk to the bathroom. I brush my teeth and wash my face.

The fuck does he think he is, calling me a bitch.

I grab my phone and look at the missing calls and text from Kol asking me to meet up with him.

I call him and he almost immediately answers my phone.

"Finally!"

"Why have you been trying to call me?"

"It's Claudia. Nate was here last night."

Not again. I'm gonna rip that boy limb by limb until he's begging for forgiveness.

"What'd he do?" I grab my small purse and walk out of the room.

"Just come over to her place." He said. There was a slight hint of guilt in his voice.

"I'll be there." I wake Elijah up and he brushes his teeth.

I don't let him eat breakfast once we get downstairs. Bruce wasn't there. Where the fuck did he go.

I didn't care. I left the penthouse and went down the elevator.

"Mama, what's wrong." Elijah spoke in a tired voice. I pick him up and have him rest his head on my shoulder.

He isn't suppose to walk up for another hour or so, so he's still quite tired.

"Don't worry baby." I rub his back making him lean into my touch.

I walk down to the lobby and get into my car.

What is up that boy's ass.

I put Elijah in the back seat and got in the drivers. I drove faster than I thought I could. Claudia is so strong and was finally able to get rid of the toxicity Nate brought into her life, but he just can't leave her alone.

I remember the day she came running to me after she'd escaped Nate. He refused to let her see anyone, knowing she'd tell me the truth.

Flashback:

A urgent knock on my door snapped me out of my thoughts. I walked to my door and open it too see Claudia.

We stopped talking after she'd gotten in her relationship with Nate. Saying she didn't want to be too close to her and him, because I'd try stealing him from her.
