Love Story1–Chapter 1
My five–year–old daughter burst into tears the moment she got home. She begged me not to make her go back to Oak Lane Academy.]
She was too scared to tell me why. Just kept shaking and crying.]
My gut told me something was wrong. When I checked her body, I found chest.

Rage burning through me, I snapped a photo and posted it to the parents‘ group: “Who hurt my daughter?
“My son did exactly what I told him to,” Ashley replied instantly, with a smug emoj
Then came two photos that stopped my heart.
One showed my husband at a wedding with her
The other was a family photo of me, my daughter, and my husband.
“Karma’s a bitch, isn’t it? That’s what happens when you steal someone’s husband and have his bastard. Consider yourself lucky my boy didn’t do worse.”

“Can’t believe that leech had a mistress while living off my money.”

Now Ashley was using it to play queen bee.
When they saw me, their friendly faces turned to stone. Like I was something they’d scraped off their shoes.
Mrs. Thompson stepped forward, ice in her voice: “Ms. Roberts, Emma is expelled. Effective immediately.
“My daughter gets attacked and you expel her?” I shot back.
“This is an elite school,” she said coldly. “We can’t have our reputation ruined by… certain people.”
My voice went deadly quiet: “You might want to check who the real mistress is before you talk.
I didn’t finish. Ashley’s hand cracked across my face.
“How dare you show your face here? Did you think having his kid would make you the next Mrs. Walker?”
