Tessa crying for her dad-to stop the beatings. "Daddy! Stop"cried Tessa.
Charlotte and Melinda watching-Tessa getting spanked by Troy.
"Stop! Tessa is only 7 years old"shouted Melinda.
Troy glares at Charlotte and Melinda. "She's the reason my wife is dead,Emma decided to name her Tessa Riley Burrows"shouted Troy angrily.
"Maybe because Tessa middle names-has to do with the women you still love"shouted Charlotte angrily.

(Back to the scene)
Troy was outside of the different location.
