The Wolf In Sheep's Clothing

Chapter 1

Los Angeles, California

Mary's POV

"Mom I'm getting ready to leave you wanna come and give River a kiss before we go?!" I yell to my mom who upstairs taking forever to come down.

"Hold on Bear I'm coming!!!" She yells down at me she comes down kissing River all over his face while he's giggling in his car seat.

"Please be safe Mary it's dangerous out here these days." She says with soft eyes hugging me tightly.

"Mom I promise, I'll be safe we're good don't worry everything will be fine," I told her.

Getting into my white Mercedes G wagon I made sure River was buckled up and we were headed home. I decided to stop at Mickey D's for my best friend David. Once I got the food I made my way home to the house I shared with David. Once I pulled up to the house River was knocked out and the food was still hot. I got River and grabbed the food making my way into the living room where I saw my best friend David sitting there watching TV on his phone.

David and I have been best friends since we were little he's a big brother to me he's 22 years old and the 2nd of 5 children and is co-owner of the coffee shop we opened a year ago. To be honest he's my ride or die and I'm his. He knows all my deepest secrets and I know his. When I told him I was pregnant he didn't judge he was very supportive always at the doctor's appointments he even helped plan the baby shower and gender reveal. He was everything.

"Here bestie I bought some Mickey D's," I said handing him his food.

"Thank you, bestie," He said grabbing his food and heading to the dining table.

"I'm gonna put him in his crib, then we'll eat." He Just nodded biting into his sandwich and I walked away.

Walking into River's room I carefully took him out of his car seat laid him down in his crib and kissed his cheek before putting his blanket on him. I made my way to the kitchen table to get some juice so I could eat because I was starving, so we just sat there in comfortable silence until David spoke up.

"Look tonight it's a Saturday and we are doing something because I know you're tired of sitting in the house with my nephew every weekend and I know you're a mom we need a night out to be an adult." He told me.

I never go out cause I'm always watching River and working just trying to take care of my baby and make sure he's safe and protected mostly I was scared he would find me he had people everywhere.

"Who's gonna watch River then?" I asked with my mouth full.

"My mom girlie, you know that's her godson she'll gladly take him off your hands so you can get a break 'cause you need it." I thought about it for a minute I did need a break I've been busy with him and the shop for a couple of months I've never had time for myself and it did sound really good to be an adult for a couple of hours.

"But Dave you know I'm scared to be out that long in a place full of crowded people he has eyes everywhere running to him 24/7" I wiped my mouth putting my head down. "If that man finds me he's gonna kill me and take my baby away," I whispered

He came by my side and lifted my head "Princess listen to me and listen carefully," I nodded my head. "He's in Italy far away from you and the baby he's not coming for you." He wiped a tear that fell on my face. "Don't let that man put fear in your heart or control you from miles away your strong Mary you've always been strong okay." He kissed my head and we just hugged. He was right I couldn't let him control me. He hugged me for a couple of minutes.

He was the first to speak."You got snot on my shirt bitch." We laughed and I apologized.

We pulled apart and I got up going to my room to my closet to find an outfit for tonight cause lords know I need a night out.  "Shit" I mumbled I gotta find an outfit looking through my closet it wasn't much but I found this dress I had in 11th grade I was happy I could fit in that bitch too. I bought a glittery burgundy red dress for a house party but never wore it.
