His Baby Girl {Waterloo Road}

016

Grace knew how things were and she knew how she had threatened to destroy Max. And she knew that she was doing to enjoy it. She knew all that he had done. And she knew that she wasn't t going to sit back and take it. She knew that she had to make him pay for it.

Grace knew what Max was like and how he charmed his way out of everything. But this was different. And she knew that she wasn't going to let him get away with it.

Grace got ready for work. She knew how Lily was with Simon. She was spending a lot of time with him. And she was happy.

He was her dad and he was a good dad and he was making up for lost time between them. Grace was glad that he was there for their daughter. Especially as she knew it wasn't easy.

Grace knew how she was still in the middle of moving houses. She knew it wasn't easy to do with a toddler.

Grace walked down into the kitchen as she saw a box that she needed to unpack. She groaned as she started to do it. She knew that she told herself she'd do a box a day.

Her phone rang off of the side and she picked it up and rolled her eyes as she said that Max was calling her.

She knew that he really wasn't getting the picture. She knew she wasn't in the mood for him and to deal with it all.

Grace got to work and stood in the staffroom. She smiled as she looked to Charley as she walked in. She looked to her. "How was Lily?" She asked.

Charley smiled. "A diamond. She decided she wanted to help put Scarlett to bed. She sat with her until she fell asleep. I read her a story and she fell asleep," she told her.

Grace looked to her and nodded. "At least I have done something good with her."

Charley smiled. "You're a great mum. You have nothing to worry about I know how a lot has happened with you and Max. But your a good mum. You're a good person. Don't let him try and get in your head and doubt yourself. I know that you lost the baby. And it was hard. But you're okay. And you have Lily," she said as Grace smiled.

Grace knew that she was right. And how she had to focus on what she did have.

Grace sat in her classroom as she looked to a file that she had collected on Max. She knew all that things he had done. And she wanted to ruin him for it.

She placed it in a drawer in her desk. She locked it as she heard the door open. She looked up to see Max and frowned. "What are you doing here?" She asked.

"I wanted to talk to you," he said.

Grace looked to him and rolled her eyes. "I have nothing to say Max. Leave me alone," she said.

She knew how determined that she was to ruin him. But would she really go through with it?
