Wilhelmina sat in her office typing the letter from the editor trying to put as much bitchiness as she could. It actually was kind of hard, seeing how she was so happy and had everything she needed. Almost. She had a meeting with Daniel in about 10 minutes and she was going to try her best to maneuver Connor back in the company. Fuck try, he is back she though silently to herself. I own 50% of this damn empire, Pasty boy and Bag 'a' Bones can't say no to me. Her head snapped up in rage at the sound of the door being slammed against the wall, especially when she told Marc No fucking disturbances!.
"You can't go-" Marc tried to stop the intruder but was forced to comply when she pushed him into the wall, allowing the door to hit him in the face.
"Willie, darling." The woman smirked as Wilhelmina rose from her desk and stood toe to toe with her.
"What the hell do you want?" Wilhelmina hissed, her eyes darkening.
"Now ,now that isn't anyway to talk to your beloved mother, now is it." Her mother smiled deviously.
"Cut the crap Victoria."
"Oh, your a big girl now...but not big enough to get your own husband out of jail?"
Wilhelmina eyes widened and her voice took a dangerous tone. "What the hell are you talking about?"
"Oh don't play dumb with me Wanda. That Owens man...embezzlement really? You can do better dear." She looks Wilhelmina up and down then changed her mind. "Actually...perfect fit." She shrugged her shoulders and smirked.
"I don't have time for this. Marc, show Ms. Slater to the door." Wilhelmina returned to her desk and watched as Marc stumbled in the room holding a tissue to his bleeding nose.
Victoria turned around and waved her arm. "You know that didn't hurt...pansy" Marc whimpered as she turned back to Wilhelmina. "You know you have got a lot of nerve showing your ass to me, considering the HUGE favor I did for you."
"What?" Willie stared at her mother hoping she wasn't about to say what she thought she was gonna say.
"Oh Mr. 'I Bruise Easily' here didn't tell you." She turned and pointed at Marc. "He came flying into my house unannounced and told me about your dilemma." Marc backed up as he saw Wilhelmina's fist ball up and nostrils flare like a child in need of a temper tantrum. " As a Senator's wife I have many connections. I called in a favor in the DA's office and they were able to drastically reduce Connor's sentence... You should be grateful that I finally did something for you, but now you owe me big time. So you can start by stop complaining about how your father and I never did anything for you and of course I expect weekly visits from my... grand-burdens. But... don't feel like you can cross me because Connor can and will land back in the 'big house' if I don't feel 'the love' . So your welcome...I guess now you can focus on your...jailbird husband and 2 little bastards. God knows they'll be as a terror to the world as you are."
Her mother smiled victoriously as she watched Wilhelmina's nostrils flare and breathing harden. Wilhelmina was on the near breaking point, digging her fingernails deep into the palm of her hand. She reminded herself to relax when she felt the breaking of skin beneath her touch.
"Get out." Wilhelmina spoke in a low but stern voice.
"No problem." Her mother spun on her heels and proceeded to walk through the door. She turned back once more and chuckled. "Congratulations."
Wilhelmina jumped to retaliate but was quickly stopped by a sharp pain on the left side of her stomach. She shut her eyes and eased back down into her chair.
"Willie?" Marc entered the room, his nose had stopped bleeding but he knew that with Willie's temper that wouldn't last long. He put a hand to her shoulder but she shrugged him off.
"Don't." She stared down at her stomach, not once looking up at him.
"Willie." He pleaded.
"I said don't." She got up slowly and carefully and marched out the room with her portfolio in tow.
Oh shit He thought If I don't endure the wrath somebody else will.
