"Get your hands off my husband you bitch"

We turn our heads and look at Amanda standing there looking at us. I push myself away from Leon and look at her. "Amanda what are you doing here?" asks Leon.

"I was invited, now tell me why is this bitch here?" She yells again pointing fingers at me.

"Before calling me a bitch I would suggest you lower your voice. You are causing a scene at your sisters in law baby shower. If I were you I would get my husband and go talk somewhere private."

"Who do you think you are? How dare you tell me what to do and what not to do?" She yells again and turns to Leon. "Baby, what is she doing here? You promised me that you wouldn't see her again." She whines. Leon walks right past me down the stage to Amanda. He grabs her arm and pulls her somewhere private. I look around and an awkward vibe has filled the room.

"So now that the games have finished please go back to your table and they will bring you your meals. So please seat and I hope you enjoy." Says Sophia and everyone goes to their seats. The personnel come out of the kitchen and brings us our food. Leon is somewhere with Amanda and I wonder what they're talking about. Laura turns to me and starts a conversation.

...

It's dessert time and the seat next to me is still empty. I wonder where he went and I'm sure that he left. Cause if he hadn't left he would've been here by now. Someone taps me on the shoulder I turn around and it's a waiter. "Excuse me miss but can you come with me?"

"Can you tell me where are we going?" I asked.

"To the devil. That's what he told me. Also, do you have your makeup bag? He told me to ask you about it."

"I don't have it with me but I can find something in my car." I say and get up. Leon needs me for something, nothing new here but the makeup bag is a little strange. I go to grab my makeup bag from the car and the waiter is waiting for me at the door. I hope I have everything that he needs and the guy points me to Leon. It's actually his old room. I thank the guy and walk into Leon's room.

He's sitting in his bed looking at his phone. "I heard that the devil wanted to see me." I laugh and find his light switch. I turn on the lights and my mouth drops. Leon looks up at me and there's a huge red mark on his face. "Leon, what happened to you?" I ask and walk closer to him. I seat down next to him and touch his face. He looks at me "Amanda happened"

"Why did you stop her?"

"For Amara's custody. I need to prove to the jury that she's not fit for a mother. It's a horrible thing to say but it's the truth. Can you cover it up?"

"I will try but I don't think that I have all the products. I will try my best though." I put all products on his nightstand and I start my job. I seat next to him on the bed and put a moisturizer on his face. "Does it hurt when I touch it?"

"No don't worry"

I get a color corrector palette and a small brush. I'm in a weird position and my back is hurting. I get up and he looks at me. I stand between his legs and grab his face. He smirks but doesn't say anything and just lets me do my thing. "So what happened with Amanda?"

"I don't want to talk about it now."

"Okay, then I just wanted to thank you for everything with Malia." He looks up at me. "What are you thanking me about? It's the bare minimum so no need to thank me about anything." I smile.
