No way I'm saying sorry!" I shot back at Antomo.
My daughter. Mollie Kaufman, even got in on it, sinking her teeth into his shoulder.
Antoscowled and whacked the back of her head. "Mollie. I'm your dad, and you bit me?" It just made Mollie fight harder.
Antoballed up his fist and aimed it at Mollie's face.
"Keep your hands off my daughter!" I threw myself at Antonio, not letting him hurt Mollic.
Back then, to keepfrom getting any money after we split, Antowas ready to show my naked pictures to everyone.
While people were cursingout, Antowas scheming to steal my daughter Mollie toldthat she wanted to be withand handed over every last cent from her piggy bank to fund our escape.
Antonio, in his twisted mind, figured Mollie had gone sour, so he let her have it with a slap.

"Mollie, you're begging for it!" Antogrowled. He unfastened his cuffs. ready to roll up his sleeves.
As soon as Mollie landed on the ground, she sprinted toward me, not minding Antonio's threatening posture. When she saw the blood on my hand, her eyes welled up with tears. Yet, she still helpedto my feet. "Mom, we need to get out of here," Mollic urged. I clenched my teeth against the throbbing pain anthe managed to stand up. Together, Mollie and I started to run

He had no one to vent it op, so he screamed at us as we fled, "Grace, if you truly care about Mollie, e you'd tell her to cwithinstead of staying in this damn place with you!" He warned. "Don't push me!" Mollie and I didn't dare to look back. I pulled out my phone and called my brother, Nathan Parrish.
Nathan picked up on the first ring.
"Nathan, we're in deep trouble..." I began.
But before I could even ask for help, Antoclosed the distance, om spatched the phone from my hand, and smashed it on the ground. "Don't you dare call your lover for help," he bellowed. "No one's coming to rescue you!"
Antostared at the broken phone, his rage still not quenched He picked it up again and smashed it once more. His fury was palpable, and it made no sense to me.
We were divorced, and it was only fair that I should move on. So why was he so furious? I had clearly underestimated his anger.
As I tugged Mollie to keep moving, a damp cloth was suddenly clamped over my mouth and nose.
