Chapter 83.

**Sofia's POV.**

"What is bothering you Benjamin?" I asked him before going to bed. I know Benjamin won't give me the answer I want but it was worth a try.

"Nothing. I'm just worried about tomorrow's deal." Benjamin replied. I just can't shake the bad feeling I have ."Now let's sleep before you start saying you hungry again." He added and I nod sleeping.

I swear ever since the divorce he has been acting weird.

I woke up six and Benjamin was already gone. I got up and went to the bathroom. As soon as I was done with the bathroom, I went downstairs to the kitchen to make Elijah something to eat because I know he will wake up soon and start saying he is hungry.

I entered the kitchen and the table was already set. Breakfast was ready and there was a letter next to it. I quickly opened the letter and started reading.

'I had to go to work early but I promise it's nothing I can't handle. I might be home late tonight so don't wait for me. I promise I'll call so you don't have to call me. I already gave you two kisses this morning before I left and I thought you would wake up but instead you turned around and smiled. I have a question Sofia, what were you dreaming about? I hope it's not you and I having--"

I stopped reading the letter and quickly get the page in pieces. Stupid Benjamin always loves ruining everything.

I quickly warmed the food and as soon as I was done with it, I turned around and saw Elijah standing in front of me angry. I really gave birth to a cute, rude, adorable boy.

"Mommy, I'm hungry."

"Elijah honey you should first say morning mommy and than give me a kiss and only after that say you hungry." I explained to him but he sat on the chair ignoring me.

"I love you mommy." I guess my son loves food more than me because he is only using that card with me when he wants something.

"I'll only give you food, if I can feed you." I told him and he nod smiling. I really miss feeding him.

"Where is daddy?" Elijah asked after we were done eating.

"He is working Eli, he will be home tonight." I told him doing the dishes.

"Mommy, phone please." Elijah asked.

"It's in my room but promise me you will---" He quickly ran upstairs not even listening to what I was saying.

"Elijah I'm not done." I shouted running after him. "If I tell you, I need the phone than you going to give it to me okay." I told him and I nod his head too quickly that I knew he was lying.

I heard the door bell and I took my time to open the door.

"Hi." I was shock to see them standing in front of me. If I knew it was them I would run to open the door.

"Can we come---"

"Of course." I was too excited to even let them talk. I quickly closed the door behind them and followed them.

"Your house is beautiful." Stephanie commented looking around.

"Thank you." They quickly sat down and I watched them, none of us speaking because we didn't know what to say to one another.

We all tried breaking the silents but it didn't work because we all spoke the same time.

"Mommy." Elijah said coming downstairs and they both looked at him. "It doesn't want to work." He added hitting my phone on the wall.

"Is he yours?" Stephanie asked and I nod my head smiling.

"Mommy, look." Elijah walked to me angry. "Mommy look." He repeated again showing me my phone.

"I know this kid." Stella shouted. "He's the one I was talking about, Stephanie."

"Mommy I hate her." Elijah shouted pointing at Stella.

"What did he do to you?" I asked Stella and Stephanie started laughing.

"He broke my laptop and still called me stupid just because I told him to eat or else he won't watch TV." Stella explained looking at Elijah annoyed. "His too stubborn."

"When was he at your house?" I asked.

"He was at Tucker's house and I was sleeping over so--"

"You know Tucker." Stephanie started laughing when she heard me.

"It's her boyfriend." Stephanie answered. "They actually a very cute couple."

"But his too old for you. Stella you still in varsity--"

"So you do know I'm in varsity but you didn't even think about wishing me a happy birthday or coming to my graduation when---"

"Stella that's not fair on her." Stephanie interrupted her. "Why didn't you tell us Sofia?"

"Tell you what?" I asked.

"You didn't have to run." Stella mumbled. "I used to come to your room at nights and ask why you are crying but you used to lie to me. You always said you were crying because you missed dad when all along you were lying."

"What are you talking about? Stella what do you know?" I asked because I never told them I was raped.

"The night that I called the police---"

"You the one that called the police that night?" I shouted interrupting her. "Stella you lied to me, you told me you never called the police that night."

"I thought he was hurting you, Sofia you used to have nightmares and you lied to me. You said you were fine but you were not. I wished I never believed you." Stella said as her eyes starting forming tears.

"Jay told me what happened you." Stephanie started and I looked at her curios.

"How do you know Jay?" I asked and she looked down smiling.

"It's her stupid boyfriend." Stella commented and Stephanie hit her.

"You joking right?" I said and Stella shook her head. "Stephanie you crazy, his way older than you. He is old enough to be your father." I shouted.

"I came here to see my sister, not get lectured. Stella already does---"

"Don't bring me in this Stephanie." Stella said interrupting. "Sofia we didn't come to talk about Jay we came here to tell you we miss you and we sorry we thought you left because of us."

"What do you guys know? Who send you?" I questioned because they didn't even want to meet me the day of the will and all of a sudden they want to forget the fact I left them.

"Tucker and Jay told us what Martin did---"

"What?" I shouted getting up. "Tucker and Jay had no rights to talk about me with you two. You kids, they shouldn't have told you that about me."

"I'm not a kid anymore Sofia. I'm twenty." Stella shouted back.

"I'm sixteen and I have a right to know what happened to you." Stephanie mumbled. "I always thought you ran away because of me, because of how hard it was to raise me when you were a kid yourself."

"I'm sorry that you had to go through that Stephanie but that doesn't make it right for Jay to tell you what happened to me." I wish that asshole kept his mouth shut because right now I know my sisters pity me.

"Stephanie used to call Martin father because they lied to her about father. She only found out about Dad when she was nine." Stella mumbled.

"I'm sorry, I know Stephanie had a right to mourn for dad but she was too young to know what was going on. She was a baby and she's still a kid now. Stella I thought you would be against---"

"Mommy, I'm hungry." Elijah who was tired of playing games on the phone said interrupting me.

"He loves food?" Stella asked and I nod my head. "He is definitely a Valentines."

"Just because I love eating doesn't mean all the Valentines love eating." Stephanie rolled her eyes acting angry.

"Why don't you and Elijah go to the kitchen and find something to eat while I talk to Stella." I told Stephanie and she nod picking Elijah up. He actually loves her way more than Stella.

"Why do you want to talk to me alone?" Stella asked.

"I thought you would be against Stephanie dating an older guy. Jay is twenty five and she's a kid Stella. Please talk to her because I don't have a right, I wasn't there when she was growing up." I begged my sister because Stephanie is a making a big mistake by dating a guy like Jay.

"I tried." She started. "I really tried Sofia but she doesn't listen." She continued. "They just not dating anymore, they engaged and I want her happy and if he makes her happy than my hands are tied."

"She's sixteen, it's not legal for her to get married." Jay broke up with Masha because he got a girl pregnant and now his engage to my baby sister.

"Stephanie actually found countries where it's legal and they doing it soon. She just lost a baby recently and she's not thinking straight but Jay isn't stopping her." Stella mumbled.

"She lost a baby?" I asked shocked and she nod her head. "She's the one he got pregnant, she's the reason Jay broke up with Masha."

"You know that bitch." Stella shouted angry.

"I-I--" The door bell rang and I quickly left Stella alone and went to open the door.

"Hey best friend---"

"You can't be here Masha." I said interrupting her but she pushed me entering the house,

"I need a place to hide because that abuser Jay is looking for me and---What the hell is she doing here?" Masha asked pointing at Stephanie.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Stella questioned.

"Masha please leave." I told her but she shook her head.

"I knew you did everything." Masha shouted turning to me. "You just so bitter Sofia, you couldn't see me happy. You wanted Jay to yourself so you send that stupid girl to seduce him. I thought you were my best friend but I was wrong. Just because you were a stripper you thought every guy would want you." I can't believe she called me a stripper in front of my sisters.

"Don't shout at my sister like you her mother." Stella shouted.

"They your little sisters." Masha replied angry. "I should've known you were a slut. Stealing Carlene's husband wasn't enough so you send your little sister to steal my---"

"That's it." Stella said. "I'm tired of playing nice when you murdered my little niece or nephew." Stella added going to the kitchen.

"You have to leave Masha." Stephanie shouted scared but I just watched them confused.

"Stella No." I shouted at Stella after I saw her carrying a knife. "Stella please put it down." I begged her but she refused walking to Masha.

"Call my sister a slut one more time and I'll slit your throat." Stella threatened Masha putting the knife on her face.

"Just leave Masha." Stephanie said and Masha rolled her eyes leaving.

"I swear I was about to do it." Stella sighed sitting on the couch. "The audacity of that bitch."

"I'll go close the door." I was shocked at how Stella was so I quickly ran to close the door. "Since when are you violent?" I asked Stella who was relaxing on the couch.

"Since I had to take care of a baby who is so beautiful that all the boys at school--"

"Stella." Stephanie shouted interrupting her.

"What? It's the truth." She shrugged her shoulder laughing. "This isn't the first time I threatened someone with a knife so don't worry Sofia."

"She even threatened someone with a gun before." Stephanie added.

"Stella has a gun?" I shouted.

"It belongs to Tucker but she steals it for varsity. She actually has five boyfriend, so yes she's cheating on Tucker." Stella hit Stephanie on the head after she said that.

"It's the boys at varsity that lie about me dating them but I only love Tucker and I'm only dating Tucker." Stella said.

"Stephanie what about you?" I asked.

"I'm fine with Jay." Stephanie replied.

"But his too old for you. Don't you think you should rather stick to boys your age, you are very beautiful I'm sure any boy at your school would love to have you as their girlfriend." I smiled looking at Stella for backup.

"Yeah Steph." Stella started. "All the boys at your school ask you for your number and they like you, even the principal's son likes you and the head boy who is two years older than you."

"Whoa, I don't like anyone of them. I thought you said you fine with me marrying Jay." Stephanie said and Stella and I started coughing.

"Marrying Jay?" We both shouted the same time.
