Before you read this, look at the λατρευτός image above....and I'm sorry. Truly, truly sorry. I just remembered that I had my Lightbearers 2017 show with my class tomorrow and I can only update one or maybe two stories, so I'll update this one and Earn my 2nd chance. Love y'all.

Emma's P.O.V.

Yucky. That's is what my breakfast was. Yucky. Mommy made me eat mashed peas and it was yucky! Daddy tried to spare me but it was no use mommy made sure that I ate my peas.

"See, she hates it.", daddy said as I turned away my head from the spoon filled with green goop.

Mommy rolled her eyes. "Adrien, its good for her."

"Still she won't eat it."

I cooed at daddy to show that I agree.

Mommy looked between us and gave out a small breath. "Okay, fine. If you could feed Emma at least eat 3 spoonfuls of peas then I'll give you a plate filled with croissants. Deal?"

Daddy looked at me and then at mommy then me again.

"Why not feed her yourself?"

Mommy made a scary face and daddy looked at me with big eyes.

"Please Emmie, do it for daddy. I promise I'll buy you whatever toys you want after."

I opened my mouth. I want more toys! Daddy smiled as he fed me while mommy shook her head.

"Hey, don't forget we're going to visit Rylee and Mae later. So you might wanna hold the shopping trip for a while."

I closed my mouth.

"Mari!"

I giggled. I love my family.

~Somewhere else~

Chloe's P.O.V.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY WONT ACCEPT IT?! I KNOW I HEARD YOU FOR THE FIRST TIME I MEAN WHY NOT?!", I shouted over the phone to that sorry excuse of an assistant.

"M-miss C-Chloe, the board of directors won't accept the contract you had given because they said you have no right-"

"BULL***T! I HAVE MY RIGHTS IN THAT PATHETIC COMPANY YOU HEAR ME! MY DEAD FIANCÈ LEFT IT FOR ME IN HIS WILL!"

"B-but ma'am, the directors said that they have a copy and it clearly states that Miss Winter inherits the company and when little Emma turns of age, she owns the-"

"WHAT?! HOW DARE HE?! I'LL BE BACK AND WHEN I DO, I WILL MAKE SURE THAT THEY WILL REGRET NOT AGREEING TO MY CONDITIONS. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME! D**N IT!"

I slammed my phone against the wall, not caring if it broke to pieces. I'll just have to buy a new one. Besides, that type of phone was out of date anyway. But right now, I have a bigger problem.

How do I get the company?

There must be some way. A loophole of some sort. Ugh, great. I need a lawyer but then it'll cost me. I'll have to call my Lila. She will not be happy. And that's what I hate. Making my lovely girl upset.

I grabbed the house phone and called her.

Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to throw my phone away just yet. Oh well. What's done is done. There's no going back now.

Lila's P.O.V.

Da*n it all! Here I thought that everything was going well, BAM! This happens! Charlotte was over at a friend's house so I have nothing to hide much. My Chloe needs me. I know what I have to do.

I grabbed a mask and a pair of gloves and drove off to the bank.

You might be asking, what about your 'job' at home? The answer to that question is that it wasn't enough. Fewer boys came to my place and rumors floated around the neighborhood. Wherever I walked, I was stared at and pointed at. Parents glared at me, kids stayed clear of me and old people look at me with disgust.

'Adulteress! Disgrace!'
'Evil as plain as the mark on her face!'
'She asked for trouble the moment she came'

Geez, it's like they were going to stone me or something like that!

I grabbed the gun that was kept in the glove box and charged it with bullets. I clipped my hair and masked my face. Putting the gloves on, I charged in. I have to do this. More money means more power.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Dang that bank had tight security, but I made it out.

A few cars chased me from behind but I don't care. I looked to my side. Sometimes a hostage is always a good thing. And she's pretty too....no Lila! Bad.

A few more turns and I would be free!

What I didn't know was that the woman was trained as a child just in case things like this ever happened to her. She undid the ties in her arms and grabbed the wheel. I hit the breaks and I was flung forwards.

Darkness.

When I woke up, I was handcuffed to the bed in a hospital.

Chloe, I'm sorry. I failed you.
