Paloma had to live without her daughter for 3 years straight.she cried so much, she was allowed to visit her daughter anytime she wanted, but it wasn't easy, Karen had moved in with John.

They would always taunt Paloma whenever she came to visit her daughter. Paloma came to visit Helen.
Helen"mother , please take me with you"

Paloma"don't worry dear I am looking for the best lawyers , Don't you ever think that I don't love you,you are 15years old.You are going to grow up to be brave right?"
Helen"off course mommy like you"
They hugged

Karen came in
Karen"time for school brat"
Paloma felt so helpless,she looked over and saw John laughing evilly.
Paloma went to work my,she got into the elevator,it was about to close when a young man squeezed in ,but he got caught in the elevator.
Paloma"omy goodness"

She helped pull him in.she couldn't help but laugh,then her laughter vanished,sadness took over
Henry"I am glad my attempted death cheered you up.can I ask,are you related to horses?"

Paloma"no"
Henry"then why do you have a long face?"he laughed.she smiled.
Paloma"corny, don't you have school"
Henry"is it because of my baby face?"
Henry"yes I do, but it can wait for a pretty lady like you"
Paloma"how old are you?
Henry"17"

Paloma"let's end it here"
The elevator door opened and she dashed out.Henry had a broad smile. He came out of the elevator,he met a worker.
Worker"why are you here young man?"
Henry"I saw a woman, so I decided to come in"
Worker"you can't be serious, go to school

Henry"am going, Leticia"
He left.leticia then approached Paloma.
Leticia"m'am Linda doesn't often come to work, and she leaves everything on me."
Paloma"at least she works at home"
Leticia"barely,am her assistant, not her maid.

Paloma"okay you need to calm down"
After work,Paloma was heading out when she bumped into Henry outside.
Henry"what a coincidence?"
Paloma"yeah right"
She started walking,he followed.
Henry"okay fine,my driver stops at the company sometimes and I happened to see you."
Paloma"why does the driver park here?"

Henry"my parents work here,the point is when I saw you I fell for you."
Paloma stopped walking and turnt to him
Paloma"you are just a child you don't know what you are saying"
Henry"then why am I affected when I see the sadness in your eyes"
Paloma"it's sympathy"
Henry"no, it's love"

Paloma"boy,you don't know me"
Henry"then let me know you"
Paloma"you are underage"
Henry"that didn't stop you from liking me back"
Paloma"what?look I have alot of problems,I don't need a teenage boy flirting with me, just leave me the hell alone.get your hormones checked"
Paloma was being rude,this hurt Henry

Henry"oh, okay, it's fine,that is what everyone says to me, leave.sorry to bother you and for the record it is not about s*x" he turnt to leave,she held his hand as tears came down her face"
Paloma"am sorry, it's just that am going through a lot"
He wiped her tears .later on,they sat a coffee shop.

Paloma"I just want my daughter back"
Henry"am so sorry, your ex is despicable"
Paloma"he is a bastard,he seeking revenge on me, for leaving him after he cheated on me."
Henry"you have been through a lot of pain, but don't worry I will help you"
Paloma"how?"
Henry" let's just say I know the best lawyers"
Paloma"really?I don't care how much it costs,I just need my daughter safe with me"
Henry"Don't worry,I will cover the cost"

Paloma"no, helping me find the right lawyer is enough,is he very competent"
Henry"very,he got my mother custody of me when she had zero chances of winning"
Paloma"thank you so much, your mother will be very proud knowing she raised a kind young man."
He became sad
Paloma"what is wrong?"
Henry"my mom, she seems me as a burden"

Paloma"what?"
Henry"she had me over a one night stand just when her career started,she wanted to abort me but my father assured, he would take care of me after I was born, when I was born my mom decided to keep me, she felt connected to me.

She still got custody of me despite her attempts to abort me.that is how powerful the lawyer is, atimes she makes remarks that make me feel like a burden or useless"

Paloma"but you are not,you are very kind and sweet.you will always have my respect"
Henry"can I have your love?"
Paloma"talk to me when you are 18
Henry"just one year Henry"

Paloma laughed which made Henry smile widely.Both stared into each other's eyes,Sparks flowing between them.The next day, Paloma was able to talk to the lawyer Henry recommended,he assured her not to worry,he would have the case up in a week.

paloma was so happy, she celebrated with Henry as they went for ice cream.The two were getting closer but Paloma kept it friendly,she knew she dealt with a minor.A week passed.

A beautiful week as Paloma would request to take Helen out, Karen agreed, because she couldn't stand Helen and John wasn't home,After school and work, Paloma,Helen and Henry would go to the amusement park.The three bonded.

The case was finally up, Paloma was fighting for custody for Helen, this pissed John off.karen came up with a clever plan to make Paloma loose, even though she couldn't stand Helen,she wanted to please John.

Paloma had come over to visit her daughter when Karen intentionally pushed Helen to the ground, barking at her to clean the whole house.Paloma lost it and attacked karen.john was secretly recording.

They used the video in
court and had the upper hand.paloma was deemed aggressive and unsafe.paloma lost faith and blamed herself, Henry comforted her, but the tables would turn when Helen got abused by John.

Both John and Paloma were deemed abusive but Helen fought for her mother and showed videos of Karen and John abusing her physically and mentally and also overworking her.she took a stance and argued that she was 15 years old, and that she was old enough to choose whom she wanted to stay with.

With backing support from the lawyer Paloma was granted custody.They rejoiced.That night, Helen told her mom,that she intentionally infuriated and defied her father and Karen so that they would punish her.

She gave them a dose of their medicine and filmed them.paloma was both proud and scared but, because her daughter had gotten hurt.She assured her mother that she was fine.At long last,they were reunited
