Zuri POV:

Walking back into my room I switch on the lights and I scream looking at the figure by my window

"What the hell are you doing in the fucking dark," I say catching my breath. Looking at Mark he crosses his arms and turns to me

"I wanted to see when you'll get back" he turns to look at the clock "1:58 am," he says looking back at me. Rolling my eyes I walk towards my closet to get fresh clothes

"You know you wanted to have this mission yet it appears you are not serious" his voice gets louder and louder. Oh gosh, his coming in here. Sighing I take out a purple silk night dress and I put it on. Turning around I see him standing by the doorway

"I am serious,"I say walking past him and he huffs

"Are you cause it seems your hanging out more than training" he states and I click my tongue

"Oh please Mark it's literally been 1 freaking day give me a break" I groan. Removing the duvet I sink into my bed. Getting comfortable I rest my head on my pillow and I cover myself with my duvet. I'm not at all entertaining him right now

"You know I really thought that having kids would change your one would call hoe tendencies," he says

Shooting up I stare at him

The audacity of this man

"What the fuck did you just say" I tilt my head to the side glaring at him

"It was fine when you weren't a mother Zuri " he leans on the wall with his arms crossed

Grabbing the nearest lamp I throw it at him

"What the hell" he yells moving out of the way. Sliding out of bed I slowly stride toward him

"You have no fucking right to stand there and act like some fucking saint. I've been a single parent for 5 years" I take a step at every word

"People my age are out there living their goddam lives not even on the verge of marriage but here I am 26 with twins whom I love very much. So if living my life means I get crucified then so fucking be it but you take your little jealous shit show out of this goddam room. Oh so God help me this will be the last time you see me or your kids" I shove my finger at his chest and he glares at me

"We both know you can't do that," he says clenching his jaw

"And yet we both know that I am their only biological parent on their birth certificate" grabbing his collar I lower him down so that his ear is by my lips "as far as this world knows your another drop beat dad," I say and he growls grabbing my throat

"Look at all that aggression" I smile and he continues to glare at me with his hand wrapped around my throat

"Zuri don't push me" he seethes out and I chuckle

"Or what huh" I spit in his face and he uses his other hand to wipe my saliva away from his cheek

"You know I love you and the twins so goddamn much that it drives me crazy yet you don't fucking see it" he hisses at me and I smirk

"It just seems to me that you're just trying so hard to be a better dad than your own father" I spat at him. His features slowly softened but he quickly went back to being stern

Oh I hit a nerve

"Your all talk Zuri but what ever happened to your dad huh" he looks at me up-down. Besides his hand wrapped around my throat. 

My throat becomes tight and a lump starts to form that makes it very hard for me to breath

Tears start to weld in my eyes and he slowly starts to back away
