Chapter 95
“Angel. Are you okay?” Blake’s voice broke my trance.
“No, I’m not. Come on” I got up and headed towards room 16. Anger bubbling in me. She had outdone herself this time.
Without hesitation, I opened the room door and stormed into mums room. She was laying on the bed with a cigarette in her hand, laughing at whatever was playing on the TV.

“Hey! My baby girl is here and hello to you, too handsome. Didn’t think I’d be seeing you again” she winked at Blake and blew him a kiss.
“Nice to see you again too Mrs Peters.” Blake took a step closer to me.
Mums face was covered in scratches. She had a swollen lip with a big gash on the bottom one. There was a big cut across her left eyebrows too. Her right hand was bandaged up and so was her left forearm. She looked terrible.
“Oh please, just call me Beth, handsome. Now I know a hunk like you hasn’t stuck around because my daughter is pretty, she’s not, so what’s got you hanging around her like a bad smell? Is she good in bed?” Her eyes scanned Blake from head to toe before narrowing her eyes at me.
“How dare you talk about me like that?! Me, the child that’s been looking after you even though you keep reminding me how worthless I am! I’ve been working my ass off to make sure you don’t have to keep selling your ass but instead of appreciating all the things I do for you, here you are creating more trouble for me. Ruining one child’s life wasn’t enough that you’re trying to bring another one into your ruthless world?!” I was loud and I didn’t care. I had had enough of her bullshit.
“Do you have any shame in you?! Any at all?! You have a 28–year–old daughter and instead of looking forward to grandchildren, you’re having your baby! BABY! What the fuck is wrong with you?!” Anger filled in my voice. I was so mad I could see red.
“That is not how you talk to your mother, young lady. Don’t you raise your voice at me?” She rolled her eyes and looked back at Blake.
“See, this is why I don’t understand how you can be with her? She’s so rude and arrogant”
“With all due respect Beth, you’re the problem here, not your daughter. She cares about you and wants the best for you. You are the one being rude” Blake snapped at her.
Mum snorted “well look at you standing up for her. Rosalie, what magic have you done on this boy?”
“Oh shut up! Please just stop your nonsense. You will never understand the relationship Blake and I have simply because you don’t even know what a loving relationship is! Speaking of relationships, who’s the father of this baby? Do you even know? Or is it another one of your fuck and walk buddies you can not identify?”
“My relationship and this baby is none of your business, girl. Why are you even here? I didn’t call you,”
away
“Seriously? Who else do you have to call anyway? Who else will come to sort your mess out?” I yelled at her. Why did she hate me so much?!
“I will” came from behind us.
Blake and I turned to find a man standing at the doorway with two cups in his hand. He must have been in his early 40’s. He was tall and tanned. Something about him looked very familiar. It was like I had seen him before but I couldn’t remember.

“Who the Fuxk are you?” My voice was a lot more/harasser than I wanted it to be. But I was angry and everyone in my way was going to drive me crazy.
“Richard, Richard Waltz.” He walked into the room “You are?”
I had Blake growl a little but he stayed quiet.
My chest tightened and my stomach churned. I just stared at the man in front of me. There was something very familiar and I couldn’t shake it off
“Ma?” I turned to her. She didn’t look phased at all. She casually got out of her bed and put the smoke butt in the ashtray on the side table.
“What?” She walked over to Richard and took the second cup he was holding.
