Sophia had just emerged from the bustling mall her arms laden with shopping bags when Marco accosted her
"What is it this time?" Sophia snapped
"Where's Molly and Jasper? I was just at your house, and they weren't there What's going on?"
Sophia let out a derisive laugh "Last time I checked they weren't exactly a family anymore Marco"
"She still belongs to me"
"She was never yours Marco You kicked her out when you found out she was pregnant with your child What right do you have to claim her now?"
"The fact remains that we are still married Sophia She is my wife and I have every right over her"
Sophia glared at Marco "To hell with you Marco! You don't own her anymore Give her the divorce papers She'll be more than happy to sign them"
Turning on her heel Sophia began to walk away but Marco grasped her arm his fingers digging into her skin like talons
"Let go of me" Sophia yelled
"Tell me where Molly is" Marco demanded his grip tightening as he dragged her along with him
"What the hell is wrong with you Marco?" Sophia cried out "Can't you just let her go?"
"Never" Marco bellowed dragging Sophia alone with him "I like the way she warms my bed I will never let her go"
In a split second Sophia was released from Marco's grasp as he stumbled backward clutching his face in pain
A shadow loomed over Marco revealing the person who had struck him
"When a girl says don't touch her you don't touch her!" Thomas thundered
"Who the fuck are you?" he spat out
"Get lost right now before I make you"
In that moment Marco broke fleeing down the street
Thomas turned to Sophia "Are you okay?" he asked helping her to her feet
"I'm fine Thank you for coming to my rescue"
"Let me give you a ride home He might come back and I want to make sure you're safe"
Sophia smiled "Thank you I really appreciate it"
As they walked toward Thomas's car Sophia extended her hand "I'm Sophia, by the way And thank you again for helping me"

"I'm home" Alex declared sweeping through the door
"Uncle Alex" Jasper exclaimed
Alex scooped the boy into his arms enveloping him in a tight embrace "Where's your mom buddy?"
"She went out"
"I got this for you" Alex said giving him a toy
"Thank you Uncle Alex" Jasper said holding the toy tightly to his chest
Alex's smile faded as he recalled something important "That reminds me" he said, leaning down to Jasper's level "Do you know where your dad is?"
"I don't know"
"You don't know? Has he died?"
"I'm not sure Uncle Alex" Jasper replied his attention shifting back to the toy "Every time I ask about my dad Mom tells me not to bring him up"
"What kind of person is your mom?"
"She's strong I think But sometimes at night I see her crying in her room When I ask her why she just tells me to forget about it"
"Your mom must have been through a lot" Alex murmured
Jasper nodded "Uncle can you make my mom happy again? She hardly has time for men or love anymore Please make her love and be happy again"
The words echoed in Alex's mind "I don't know how to fall in love again Just like Molly I've closed my heart for so long Can I really let someone in again?"

Damian's lips curled into a smirk "Her name is Molly Wilson She's a single mother"
"Single mother? Alex got married to a single mother?Unbelievable This is just a pathetic attempt to get rid of me."Mabel yelled
"Their marriage isn't real"
"What? What do you mean it's not real?"
"According to my sources Their wedding is based on a contract a business arrangement"
"And what about the father of her child?"
"I don't know anything about him,"
"Does Alex know about her child?" she asked
Damian nodded in confirmation "Yes, Alex and Molly are living together but he doesn't know about the child's father."
"Good Find out everything about the father and report back to me"
Damian bowed his head in reverence before turning and striding out of the room
"The game is on Alex I will make you come back to me And as for you Molly your son will pay for this" She slammed her glass onto the table....
