So Im guessing by the reviews from last chapter, many of you didn't like it . I really need to know where you guys stand with this story, are you guys still with me ? or what ?

The guy screamed out in pain . Mercedes kneed him in the groins . She tried running away but he grabbed her around the waist . And pulled her into him . He wrapped his hand around her mouth .

"Shut up Bitch!" He yelled . Mercedes bit his hand . He yelled out in pain .

She tried running away again, but he pulled her hair . He got her into a headlock . He was choking her , Mercedes started losing her breath, but she wasn't going to give up .

She elbowed him hard in the stomach . He grunted but he still had a strong hold around her neck . She stepped on his inner leg harshly . Which got her hand free . She punched him in his nose as hard as he could . His nose started to bleed. She then elbowed him in his groan one last time, and he fell to the ground .

She ran to her car she was going to leave and run, but she was tired of running away . She grabbed the bat that Kevin left in her car, and walked over to the guy that was in pain, on the floor . She raised the bat over her head and hit him in the stomach . She wanted answers and she wanted them now .

After her first hit, he groaned .

"I want answers and I want them NOW" She yelled !

"I don't have to answer to you" He yelled back trying to get up . She swung one more time, this one harder than the other .

"I'm going to ask you ONE MORE TIME before this bat finds a way to your face" She barked .

"Why did you try to kidnap me ? " She asked in a deadly tone .

He wasn't going to answer her, so she lifted the bat up above her head towards his face .

"Okay ! Okay !" He yelled . She put the bat down and said nothing . She just glared at him waiting for him to talk . Enough is enough . She was tired of being the victim .

"Amanda . She is my cousin . I did some bad things and she's using it against me . I didn't want to do it . But I had no choice " He replied .

" What did you do?" She asked with no sympathy in her voice . She didn't want him to see any weakness in her .

"I was a teenage father . My daughters mom gave my daughter up to me . She just left her on my door step . I didn't know what to do . I didn't want to disappoint my daughter . And I sure in hell didn't want to give her up, she was my responsibility . One look into her big hazel eyes, I knew this baby girl, would be the death of me . When my mom found out about my daughter she kicked me out . Instead of taking me in, she kicked me out . I had to find a way to support me and my daughter so I did some undercover work, I had to steal, I had to do what I had to do . Everything was fine, I finally got on my two feet . I bought a 2 bedroom apartment . And everything was fine . Until Amanda came along and black mailed me . I didn't know what to do, so I listened to her and she told me to do this ." He finished ashamed of himself . He didn't know that he was crying until he wiped the tears away . Those were bad memories he chose not to relive .

"Wow . Let me tell you something . What you did may have been wrong, but the act that you stepped up in your daughters time of need, gives you some respect . I forgive you, but don't fall into her trap . You hear me ? Things like this will always end up ending bad . What will your daughter do, if you're in jail ? who will take care of her ?" She finished

"I'm so , so , sorry . I'm done with Amanda and her bullshit . I'm taking my daughter and I'm leaving" He said sitting up .

"One last question . What happened to her ? Why is she so manipulative and vindictive ? she's heartless!" Mercedes said .

"We a couple of years ago . She was dating a guy named Sam . I met him a couple of years ago, He was really good to her . He even wanted to marry her . Sadly Amanda has been sleeping with another man behind his back . She got pregnant and the baby wasn't Sams . He asked her to marry him, an she agreed . Up until the day before the wedding, she lost the baby . It was to much for her, so she left. Ever since then, she's been baby crazy . " He finished getting up . Holding his sides still in pain .

Mercedes felt her stomach lurch . If this was true than theres a HUGE chance that Sam wasn't her babies father . This made her happy . Maybe her and Sam could finally have something .

"I need you to help me with something !" She said . He looked at her like she grew two heads .

"What?" He asked

"I need your help bringing Amanda down . She can't get away with this" She finished .

"Okay . What do you need me to do ? She needs help . " He finished .

" I'm going to call you and give you the cue, when to call her and tell her you have me" She finished

"Okay . " He finished . He got his number and got in her car .

She texted Sam, she didn't want to talk with him over the phone, this had to be done in person .

Sam can we talk in person please ? - Mercedes

Sure Mercy ! where ? - Sam

My schools parking lot - Mercedes

I'll be there in 5 - Sam

She closed her phone and came out her car .

"Okay . Sam is coming . We're going to explain everything, then we're gonna catch her in her act" She finished .

As soon as they were done speaking , they saw Sam pull up into the parking lot .

"Mercy?" He said , seeing her stand next to a guy with a messed up nose .

"What's going on ?" He asked worried

"We're going to tell you something . You need to listen" She finished

"okay" He answered skeptically .

"Sam Amanda isn't who you think she is . This is her cousin . He's going to explain everything to you " She finished

"What do you mean Mercedes ? " He asked and the man started talking .

" I'm Amanda's cousin Pete . She hired me to kidnap Mercedes . She is crazy Sam, I advise you to stay away from her " He finished . Sam charged at him .

"You son of a bitch ! you tried to kidnapped my girl" He swung at him .

"SAM ! STOP " She screamed pulling him off .

"Sam . Amandas baby, may not be yours" She finished . And Sam lost his balance .

"What?" He asked

"She's baby crazy Sam . She wants a baby so bad, she would do anything . The baby my not be yours" She finished . He jumped up and kissed Mercedes on the lips hard .

The guy cleared his throat .

"Well, Mercedes what's this about a plan ?" Pete asked

"We need to get her here . We need her to confess the truth . She won't know Sam is here . We'll tie me up , and pretend I'm held hostage, all while recording her, and Sam will be hiding " She finished

"I don't know Mercedes . This could be dangerous " He started

"Sam . I'm doing this . I'm tired of her running my life . I'm tired of her ruling what I do ! She pushed me in front of a moving vehicle . She ordered me to get kidnapped . Enough is enough" She finished .

"Fine Mercy" He said finally agreeing .

"Call her now, and put it on speaker" She said . Pete called and waited

"What do you want ?" She asked harshly into the phone .

"I got her Amanda . She's tied up in the school parking lot . The back way !" He finished

"Well you work fast . " She finished happily .

"Yeah, well . What do you want me to do ?" He asked

"I'm coming " She said then hung up . Sam was in shock . He couldn't believe it .

"Now you Sam . Call her and try to make plans, " She finished . He looked at her then pecked her lips then dialed the number .

"Be convincing" She whispered .

"Hey Baby" He said. just calling her baby made him want to barf .

"Hey Sam . What's up?" She asked, he could here the cars in the background .

"Where are you ? You wanna have dinner tonight ?" He asked

"I'm with the girls at Mary's house , So I can't hanging out with girls tonight, can I get a rain check ?" She lied

"Sure . Bye " He answered hanging up, not giving her a chance to answer . Okay . Let's get this show on a row . Mercedes let Pete tie her up, but very loosely . She set her phone on record and slipped it into her pocket . She waited as Sam hid .

Finally Amanda pulled into the parking lot . She turned off her car and came out and stood right in front of Mercedes .

"Why are you doing this ?" Mercedes asked

"Because you never learn do you ? you alway want to interfere ." She finished circling around her

"Sam will never fully commit to me , with you in the picture . So I had to get rid of you . I pushed you in front of a car . And you're still alive, now I've gotten you kidnapped . So you're finally done for" She finished

"You won't get away with this . Sam will find out " Mercedes said making her admit more .

"Sam ? yeah fucking right . He still thinks this baby is his !" She retorted . Mercedes smiled internally, she got exactly what she needed . That was also all Sam needed . Sam called the cops and told them everything . Luckily he wasn't with in ear shot . As Amanda tried to approach Mercedes to hit her, the cops came swarming in surrounding her .

They untied Mercedes and Cuffed Amanda, not before reading her, her rights .

"Mercedes we're going to need you to come downstairs and share your statement " The cop said walking away . She turned around to find Sam , she felt lips crash into hers, and they kissed slowly .

"I'm sorry for everything" He said.

"We'll talk later" She finished, she didn't want to lead him on or make false promises . She still couldn't trust him, an trust means everything to her, after the whole James thing .

After she gave the police the recording, she went home . She promised her and Sam would speak later . She needed some sleep .

" I want my call" Amanda yelled from her holding cell . The cop opened the cell and led her to the phone . She dialed the number .

"Hello ? Kevin . If I were you, I'd watch your sister . She's fucking Sam " She said laughing deviously and hung up .
