Lacey’s P.O. V.
“I guess that’s what they call an eye for an eye, right dad? or should I say a slap for a slap?”
I asked with a smirk as my dad looked at me with a pained expression.
“Aww, what’s wrong, daddy? you can dish it out but you can’t take it, hmm”
“Don’t mess with me, princess”
My dad said and I narrowed my eyes at him.
“Why? what are you gonna do, hmm? are you gonna hit me again?”
I ask him and his face drops.
“Go ahead, dad, hit me again but before you do, l’d like to warn you that as you’ve just witnessed with that piece of shit…”
I said while pointing at Dylan who was still on the ground and was being cradled by Luca as they watched me in shock.
“I’m no longer your perfect little princess who will sit in her corner and do as daddy says and does, I’m a queen now,+ I’m a mother and a wife and I will hurt you if you’re a threa to me or my family”
I growled whilst glaring at my dad
“What the hell has gotten into you, Lacey?”
Liam asks me and I narrow my eyes at him with a what the f**k? expression on my face.
“What’s got into me? are you seriously asking me that question right now, Liam?”
I growl and he flinches from the anger in my tone.
“If you want to know what’s gotten into me, Liam since you’ve all of a sudden got amnesia, go and look up your family’s little performance from yesterday, that may give you some insight as to why I’m so pissed off with you all right now”
I say while rolling my eyes.
“Lacey darling, we did that for you”
“For me?”
I ask shocked as I snap my head towards my mom.
“You did that press conference for me? are you being serious right now, mom?”
“We did, honey, we wanted the world to know that we faller our daughter and we did her wrong in her time of need”

“And you think that press conference made me look good? do you think it made any of us look good? because it didn’t mom..it f*****g didn’t”
“Hey, watch your language with your mother”
My dad shouted angrily at me and I glared at him
“How did that interview make you look bad, Lace? if anything it makes you look good”
Justin says and he was followed by his wife.
“Yeah, it shows that you’re the victim and not the villain”
“I’m not a victim, Sabrina… my children could’ve been victims of your bullshit but l’m not a victim, so don’t you ever call me that again, do you hear me?”
I growl at my sister-in-law.
“What do you mean your kids could’ve been victims, Lace?
Justin asks me and I look at him as l lick my dry lower lip.
“Not that it’s any of your business, Justin but while I was pregnant, I was diagnosed with having an incompetent cervix and my doctor forced me to go on bed rest to prevel me from either going into early labour or losing my babies altogether”
I said earning shocked gasps from my family.
“Oh my god, you had a troubled pregnancy, Lace?”
“I had a stressful and a very high-risk pregnancy, mother, I lived every day of my pregnancy in fear because I was afraid for my children’s lives and I was scared that you all would find me and force me to marry that piece of s**t ove there because like you said on TV, daddy, your reputation meant way more to you than your w***e daughter who got pregnant out of wedlock, right?”
I ask and he flinches from my words as a look of hurt crosses his face.
“Truth hurts, doesn’t it, dad?.. anyway, back to my kids, the could still be victims of your bullshit when they start schoo after Christmas because kids, especially spoiled rich kids are vicious and nasty and they bully other kids over nothin and you all just gave every child who’ll be attending my baby’s new school ammunition to attack them verbally” Some paragraphs are incomplete if you are not reading this novel on Jobnib.com.

“You promise me, Justin… what like you always promised 1 protect me?”
I say and he looks at me with a shocked and hurt expression.
“Your brother’s right, Lace, the triplets won’t be bullied because I highly doubt any kid saw our interview”
My dad says and I look at him with an are you being serious? expression.
“Dad, It’s the 2020s, not the 1980s, kids can see and read practically anything about anyone that’s out there on the world wide web these days”
“Lacey honey, we promise you, we had no ill intentions when it came to this interview”
“Oh really, mom? then why did you do it? did you wanna cause me even more pain and suffering? well, congratulations because you succeeded”
I say while rubbing my forehead in frustration.
“Of course we didn’t wanna cause you more pain and suffering, sweetheart”
My mom tried to touch me but I flinched away from her.
“Don’t touch me, mom”
“Oh come on, Lace, don’t be like this”
Luca says and I groan while rolling my eyes.
“Who put a dollar in you dickhead? nobody, so shut up”
“No, actually I won’t”
He growls and I glare at him.
“What did you just say?”
“You heard me, Lace, I’m not gonna shut up, not when you’re acting like a brat”
“I’m acting like a brat?”
l ask shocked
“Says the alcoholic who couldn’t cope with the consequences of his own actions that he turns to liquor and drag queens to cope, says the little boy who wasn’t happy with his own toys that he had to steal his sisters”
“With all due respect, Lacey, Dylan isn’t a toy”
“No but he was mine, wasn’t he, Luc? just like my Barbies were mine or the One Direction tickets mom bought for me and my friends for MY birthday were mine but because little Lucy over here threw a tantrum, she gave them to yot instead”
“THEY WERE CONCERT TICKETS, LACE!”
“THAT’S NOT THE POINT!!”
I shout at him in frustration.
“That’s not the point, Luca, my point is that you always wanted what was mine, I mean think about it…all of the gay men in New York City or even America and you choose him? that’s either one big f*****g coincidence or it’s you being a spiteful, jealous little fucker”
“Don’t do this, Lace, please”
“Do what, Luc? be honest? I know honesty is a foreign concept to you but it isn’t to me”
I say whilst pointing to myself.
“Do you wanna know what pisses me off the most about you two, Luc? it’s the fact you lied and you didn’t need to” I said in a much calmer voice but I was still feeling angry albeit not as angry as I was before.
“You didn’t have to lie or cheat…if you both had just come to me and said we’re gay and in love then I would ve stepped away but you didn’t and even after I caught you balls deep in each other, you still lied and you made me look like some kind of skank…my own dad hit me becaus he thought I was the w***e who betrayed that piece of s**y when it was the other way around”
Tears brimmed my eyes but I refused to let them drop, I’m not giving any of these people the satisfaction of seeing me hurt again.
“You ruined our family, Luc and now you’re ruining your own by drinking yourself to death…I never thought I’d see the day where l’d be ashamed of you, Luca but here we ar
I say while shaking my head and he gasps.
“Lace…”
Luca tries to approach me but I back up and move away from him and the rest of my family.
I looked around at each one of them and they all looked hurt and sad by my words and my actions but I didn’t care, not anymore.
“I don’t know what you all were expecting from that s**t show you put out on TV but whatever it is, you can forget about it because that stunt has done nothing but push me and my kids even further away from you all”
I say before turning around and leaving the mansion with a heavy heart as my family stood there in shock, well, most of them did
I was taking deep breaths in and out as I rested my hands on the front of my car when Justin came running out of the mansion shouting my name.
“Lace…Lacey princess, please wait”
“Leave me alone, Justin”
I go to get in my car when he stops me by grabbing me by my arm.
“Let me go, Justin”
“No, not until you’ve heard me out”
“I’m done listening to you all Justin”
I said while trying to free my arm feeling physically, mentally and emotionally exhausted from them all.
“Well tough s**t, Lacey because you’re gonna listen to me whether you like it or not”
He says shocking me.
I look up at him in shock while his angry gaze softens to an affectionate one.
“Look princess, I know we’ve all done you wrong and we’re all really sorry about that, we truly are but just let us help you, let us at least try and make things right with you”
“How, Justin?”
I ask while looking up at him.
“How do you plan on doing that, hmm?”
“By fixing this for you”
Justin says while holding his phone out for me to take.
I look between him and his phone several times before hesitantly taking it and looking at whats on the screen.
My eyes instantly widened and my anger once again spiked when I saw GiGi’s latest stunt all over the news.
“I can’t f*****g believe this”
It’s never f*****g ending.
