…chapter 7…

Mr. Gold's POV

'No, absolutely not' 'but, dad' 'I said no Lenna, end of discussion' but I knew it wasn't, not for her. 'He was honest with me, why can't I be with him' 'because, telling him is bad for all of us' 'bad for all of us… or for you' she said. She got up and left the room.

Regina's POV

I saw a black Mercedes pull up and I knew who it was. I ran to the door and smiled when I saw Mr. Gold's daughter, Lenna, walking up the driveway.

Lenna's POV

I had my blackmail in my book bag, and I planned to use it if it came to that. I smiled when she saw me.

Our relationship was simple: you don't come after me, I don't come after you. It was as simple as that.

I had a lot of blackmail, not just about where we came from, or her affair with Graham, but where the cities budget is being spent, how she pays Sydney to follow people (including me), why she always wins the elections, and how Sydney only writes columns for the newspaper, after, she's given the ok.

I wore my black book bag across my shoulder, and I was wearing blue jeans, sneakers, and a navy green, faded jacket.

In the book bag I had tapes, photos, and documents. I backed up everything; I had copies of everything at my house and in the bank, just in case. The reason for backing things up was because one time, she had Sydney, break into my house, steal my photos, documents, and anything that looked Regina related. Once bitten, twice shy.

I bounced up the steps and when I got to the door, Regina greeted me with a fake smile. She invited me in, then sent Henry to his room.
