SCARLETT

Rival and Holly and Phoebe, all tight again. How quickly these little bitches have turned on me. I’m in utter shock at their fickle and perfidious behavior. Really, I am. After all, wasn’t it I who baked cupcakes with them when their druggie mother was AWOL? Wasn’t I in their lives every single day and night taking care of them, helping with homework, helping with sumptuous dinners, planning wonderful family vacations away? Child-friendly, family-style accommodation at that, so that they could be happy? Is this the thanks I get?

The first time, I did my part and managed to get them back into the car sans Rival’s cheesy bribes.

But in the car, Holly betrayed me, just like that. “Mum looks sad, daddy,” she said. Her exact words. Can you believe it? Calling her "Mum" after all the time I took to explain things to them? Only one of us can be called ‘Mummy,” remember? Clearly she is an outright rebel, and she will pay for that.

“Do you wanna go back, Holly?” Bradley asked.

When Holly silently looked out of the window, I thought okay, maybe she deserves another chance. But then she said, “Yes, Daddy.”

And Phoebe, she chose to listen to her sister rather than me? I’m terribly disappointed with both Bradley’s children. Disillusioned, actually.

And Bradley, where is his brain? How dare he show such sympathy toward Rival? Where are his balls? The woman put him through hell when she partied around – didn’t that matter to him?

He probably thinks I didn’t see him do a double-take when we pulled up.

“Is that Rival? Can’t be. Is it her?” Those were his words. In a tone of voice like someone in awe. Didn’t even try to hide it from me. Where’s the respect?

Guess I have to get the wedding on really quickly, because I can see that Rival is going to be a handful and a spoke in my wheel of fortune. Not that I’m afraid or intimidated by her. It’s just better if I cement things before my plans unravel completely.
