It was the sroutine every day, but Zachary never seemed to tire of watching. He did not dare look away, as if he did not even want to miss even a moment.

Steven's voice shook as he spoke, "I've realized that your mom is the one I truly love." Zachary was not shocked. Steven might be slow with feelings, but he was not stupid. It was bound to click eventually. He did not think he could hide this from Steven forever. "You're too late." Zachary's voice was icy. "Mommy's found her place in Willow's family."

The hatred in his voice was clear.
"Just tellwhat you know," Steven pleaded desperately. "Once I win her back, we can be a family again." Zachary shook his head. "That's never happening. Mommy will never forgive what we did!"
Chloe meant what she said about keeping tabs on Jessica, and she was not about to back down. With Zachary still out she drove to O Jessica's place and rang the doorbell. When Jessica heard the chime, she made her way from the living room. Seeing Chloe at her front door, she asked with surprise, "Why are you here?" "I warned you about messing with Zachary the other day," Chloe said
