Clean break 8

Mia Garcia lifted her head, and even though she was looking at Patrick Taylor, her peripheral vision stayed on Eric Collins.

"Mom, you've really misunderstood me. I acted that way only to show my sincerity in wanting to stay with the Collins Family. I truly do want to stay," she said, then turned to Eric Collins, "Dad, you have to believe me, I really want to stay in the Collins household, no matter what hardships I face, I'm willing to serve both of you."

Serve?

What a fucking joke. She's served her way into her own father-in-law's bed, and she's still thinking about staying? I've never seen a woman so shameless!

Eric Collins, watching Mia Garcia like this, naturally felt some turmoil inside.

But now.

He was in no position to ensure his own safety and still needed the help of the Reed Family and the Thomas Family to avoid losing too disgracefully.
