"I swear to god I'm going to fucking kill him!" Khloè shouts, coming into Michael's office. "Jesus Christ Khloè" Michael gasped, Calvin in his arms. "Tommy is an absolute wanker" Khloè said, slamming her hands on Michael's desk. "Right, calm down, do I have to remind you that there is two children here?" Michael asked.

"Michael, how many times have I told you to not bring them to the office?" Khloè asked. "Right, why are you all worked up?" Michael asked, motioning to the seat across from him. "Tommy is being a dick" Khloè sighed. "Yeah, we've established that, haven't we Cal?" Michael asked, looking at Calvin. "Why was Tommy being a dick?" "He suspended me..." Khloè said in a low voice.

"I'm sorry, he suspended you?" Michael asked, clarifying it. "Mhm" Khloè hummed, "swear to god that bastard is going to loose his balls" Khloè threatened, "Calvin, don't say that, nanny will have a fit if you came out with that..." Calvin giggled as Khloè looked over at Niamh asleep.

"So you've been suspended? For... how long?" Michael asked. "Until further notice" Khloè sighed. "So you're out?" Michael asked. "Yeah? Like why not suspend Finn, not me! They need me..." Khloè said. "I'm sure it'll all blow over... eventually..." Michael said.

"It fucking better, I don't like doing nothing." Khloè said.

Back at Arrow house, Grace was working in the office as Milly came in. "Mrs Shelby..." Milly greeted, a hint of sarcasm in her tone. "Oh don't be like that" Grace groaned, "where's Charles?" "Asleep, I just put him down" Milly said. "Why have you been such a bitch?" Grace asked. "Look who's talking" Milly said.

"And what is that supposed to mean Mills?" Grace asked, dropping the pen. "You know, ever since you and Tommy got married you have been nothing but a snarky bitch" Milly said. "That's rich coming from you" Grace said. "And Tommy and me kissed the night before your wedding, might have fucked too" Milly smirked, she was lying about fucking him but she had to find some sort of way to get under her sister's skin.

"You what?" Grace asked, her eyes widening. "You heard me... now I'll leave you to whatever the fuck you were doing before I rudely interrupted you, good evening, Grace" Milly said.

Whenever Tommy got home, Milly watched as Grace kissed him and felt pain in her chest, she felt like she was about to throw up then and there. Then Tommy revealed a sapphire necklace as a gift for Grace. Milly had always loved Sapphires but seeing her sister with a sapphire around her neck that a man Milly loved gave her, that was another thing Milly couldn't stand.

Tommy and Khloè hadn't really spoken since the incident with her being benched. But when she got an invitation to the foundation dinner she found it really odd that Tommy had offered her one.

Arthur sat at the dinner table, watching as the rain ran down the window. He flinched a little when Paige came up behind him. "Did you wind the clock?" Paige asked, kissing his head. Arthur nodded slightly, placing his hand on top of hers over his chest. When he didn't speak, Paige knew something had to be bothering him. "We should go to bed... Artemis is already in bed and you look like you could use some shut eye" Paige suggested.
