( her head may look weird but it was a video still shot)...

All the kids were sleeping so it gave me and Delano time to go over what I found out. We both sat up in the bed with the laptop on my lap. "So what'd you find out?". Feeling Delano's hand on my thigh. "Well I googled Bria's name to see what comes up. And what I saw isn't good at all".

"Lay it on me" he said. Before I could respond "and I didn't mean what you found. I meant something else". Playfully smacking Delano "can you focus?".

"Fine, go ahead" he said.

"First, the company you work for is linked to her dad's company in Arizona. How did they even know about you? You didn't wonder how a company that you never heard of decided to pick you to work with. That's because she probably paid someone to hire you to bring us all here. Away from Arizona. Somewhere new so she can plan her attack" I said.

Delano looked like he was in a deep thought. I didn't want to tell him this but he had the right to know. "Second, the company I work for is also in relations to Bria's dad company. Jacob used to work for him until he moved here" I said. Delano's face changed quickly to anger. "And third, even though it says she's deceased. I looked up her social which labels her deceased. But one of her bank accounts which they forgot to freeze is in use" I said.

"Hold up? How did you go into her bank account?" He asked.

"Bria and I were friends for a long time. Why wouldn't I know her bank information?" I asked.

Delano thought about it and shrugged "so where was the last withdrawal or deposit?".

"It was not to far from here" I said.

"So he's here in the same state, same city. She's alive and breathing?" He asked.

I nodded "unfortunately".

"Jesus! She's crazy! Why won't she just leave us alone?!" He asked.

"Apparently Bria was genetically prone to becoming a nutcase. When she got pregnant and you made her get that abortion that triggered it. She became a full blown psycho. And now she's plotting against us" I said.

"She planned this move. She planned both our jobs. She planned what happened to you. I mean what else does she have in store?!" He said.

"No idea!" I said.

"We need to be very careful. At all times. We go out and we come back home until this is all over with" he said. "She already did enough shit".

The next morning Salem and I had to go take her to the doctor for her yearly examination. She wasn't too happy about it. But it had to be done. "Mommy why do we have to go?!".

"Salem we been through this already" I said.

"I know but..." cutting her off "the sooner we go the sooner we can get it done". She huffed but got into the car. We got to the doctor and before we knew it we were done. "Mommy that wasn't so bad. But can we not do this every year?". I'm not going to even entertain that comment.

Trying to find my keys in my bag. Salem stood there with the cup of water she got from inside the doctors office. "Sometime today, Mommy! It's raining". Stopping what I was doing and just gave her a look.

Opening the car door she hoped in and strapped herself in

Opening the car door she hoped in and strapped herself in. "Mommy can I ask you something?".

"Yeah sure" I said.

"Does daddy love Harlow more than me?" She asked.

"Say what? No! He loves you both the same. Why would you ask that?" I asked. She was about to answer but stopped "Well?".

"Just wondering that's all" she said. I knew she was lying. "Salem? Why would you think that?".

"Because..." she said.

"Because What?" I asked.  She shrugged and stopped talking about it. Salem doesn't usually ask those type of questions. Looking at her through the rear view mirror. She looked like she was upset. What the hell happened between the leaving the doctors office to now?. Stopping at a red light. I turned around "is something wrong?".

She looked at me for a moment before answering "Umm promise me won't you get Mad".

"Salem..." I warned.

She sighed "auntie Bria was in my room last night and she was saying how daddy loved Harlow more than me because I was hers. And he hates her so he hates me too".

I didn't even hear the person honking behind me. "Mommy you okay?!".

"You mean to tell me Bria was in my house last night?!" I asked.

She nodded.

The honking stopped which was a relief but then I felt someone ram our car from the back causing me to hit on my head in the steering wheel. "Mommy I'm scared!" Salem cried. Putting my foot on the gas and speeding away. The same car was following us. Salem kept looking back in fright. Trying my best to lose this car. "Salem hold on okay" I said. She nodded. Doing a quick spin which led me to the parking lot of the police. The car instantly sped off in the other direction. Feeling a warm wetness on my head I knew it was blood. "Mommy you're bleeding!".

"I'm fine okay" I said. She kept staring at me. Well that's the straw that broke the camels back. I'm done with all of this bullshit. She has to go!
