He Was Her All 3: Enough is Enough✔️

Chapter 37: Violent Acts

Mona munched on her bread patty while staring at the wall like someone glued her eyes open. Her foot shook as she restrained herself with sweat dripping down her face. She stared at the wall. Her feet kicked as she was determined to distract her mind away from the lighter rattling in her pocket. But her hands tingled and twitched as a deep, burning desire filled her to take one quick stiff.

Maybe one little puff wouldn't hurt.

Her fingers danced together as she breathed in more heavily. Her tightened chest heaved with her legs crossing one another repeatedly. Her deep mumbling revealed her distress to keep her hands from traveling down her pockets.

It would only be a little one... then I'll restart tomorrow.

Her hand began travelling down her grassy top like a lizard. Each one step closer made her heart beat with disturbance.

Just one... just one...

Right now, that's all her mind could think about. It was like she was in a trance and that she was a fly being drawn towards light, like it was the only thing in her mind and it's what she needed.

She grabbed the lighter and was about to pull out a cigarette when Rina came pattering over with her little feet.

"Mommy," she spoke quietly and fiddled with the straps of her overalls. "Can I have burgers for my friends..."

"Sure you can honey." Mona pushed the plate towards her and she stuffed one inside her cheeks like a chipmunk, with the rest going into her arms. She ran off to the other side of the room, and Mona watched her with a smile and put her lighter back. If giving that up meant that she could continue seeing the smiles on her children's faces then that's all it took for her.

Her quiet moment didn't last long when Electra came walking up to her, making an irritated sigh leave her mouth.

"Hey Mona, why did you have to go after Pamela's family like that?" Electra asked in the most sweetest tone. "I mean, I thought it was a pretty cool idea but it seemed a bit too mean."

Mona shrugged and didn't look at her. "Meh, she'll get over it. I got over Xavier's death just fine."

"Really Mona? Did you really get over it?" Electra looked down at her with a tight smirk, and her hands on her hips like a witch.

"Electra, out of all the people in this world, you have no right to judge me," Mona said and brushed a strand away from her face. "Xavier told me all that you did to try and destroy Mariana's relationship and its just as bad."

"I know but I feel like your slightly worse than me."

"I know." Mona smiled wickedly at her. She placed her feet, that were on table with a satisfactory stamp. "That's how I got the job done well and not take ages like you did." She dragged out her words like it was a finger pointing at Electra.

Electra clenched her teeth and her body froze at the obvious and embarrassing indirect. "It's not my fault it took so long, Mariana is practically glued to Micah."

"Yeah I know." Mona smirked. There was a drop of amusement that dripped at the end of her sentence. "I'll give you the benefit of the doubt for that one, she does seem pretty clingy." She started picking the dirt under her nails and then glanced over at Raidan and Axel, who stood near a window.

"It is cute though." Mona chuckled quietly to herself while she continued to look at her son who had something in his hand.

"So you press this button to take a picture," Raidan said as he showed Axel his polaroid camera. He pushed up his blue glasses up the ridge of his nose and sniffed harshly. Axel tiptoed but wobbled unsteadily because of his bleeding knees under his pants.
