use what you have to get what you want

" MARIA POV "

I was one my way home, I had a lot on my mind, how world I face my mom.

Earlier I had been so confident that I would win but now..

Placing a hand on her still flat stomach, she couldn't help but smile and be sad at the same time, she had almost used her unborn child as a leverage on Ethan.

But after what she saw today, she douthed if he would even care.

As soon as a got home I went straight to my mom's room in search of her but I couldn't fined her any were in the house.

As soon as I was about to panic I saw her, there she was in the kitchen making launch and for some reason she was smiling and singing out loud.

Which made me more sad as she din't know about my dad yet." Or so I thought ".

So why don't you use it, the voice of my mom was what brought me back to reality,

What...

I pretended to not have heard what she said even though I knew clearly what she was talking about.

Your father lost the case today, ohh ... Sorry I mean you lost the case today and your father went to jail. Her mother continued with clear sarcasm In her voice.

" you know if only you had just learnt to use what you have to get what you want, we would never been in this situation in the first place. Her mother went on.

" but don't worry am not really sad", I mean don't get me wrong but your father was quite a bastard, who had always deserved to go to hell.

I decided to ignore her as I felt well at least she was in a good mood,

Not that it was the first time she had talked about how much of a bastard my dad was, to be honest I never really had a great family at first.

" What's for lunch" , I asked but then I felt a painful sting on my abdomen, I tried to ignore it but it was rather getting worse.

And before I knew it every were turned dark .
