Chapter 13 +25 Bonus The mess with Anthony's illegitimate daughter kept blowing up , sending the Harris Group's stocks on a rollercoaster . However , Anthony could not care less about the company , and he sure did not want to go back to that big , empty , ice - cold mansion . Without Jessica , the place that used to be home was just a glorified freezer . He lost himself in bars , trying to numb the pain with booze . His old friends tried to talk some sense into him . " Linda is the wife on paper , and Tracy is your kid with her . Why not just let things be easy and bring Linda home ? " " Jessica stepped aside on her own , saving you a whole lot of hassle . " " Come on , Anthony , you've said you've got a soft spot for Linda . " After knocking back his third drink , Anthony slammed his glass down on the bar with a thud . " It's Jess I love ! Linda is just an old flame . If Jess comes back , I'd give up Tracy in a heartbeat . " The others just looked at each other , not sure what to make of it . Someone , without realizing the weight of their words , questioned , " When you and Linda got your marriage certificate first , and you gave Jessica a fake one , wasn't it because you planned to ditch Jessica with a clear conscience someday ? " Crash ! The wine glass smashed against the floor . " Anyone who dares to say Jess isn't my wife , Anthony's wife , will answer to me ! " The crowd fell silent . Late into the night , Anthony , drunk as a lord , stumbled through his front door . He spotted a figure on the couch and , elated , he lurched forward and wrapped the person in a clumsy hug . " Jess , you came back ! I just knew you couldn't stand to leave me . " In the shadows , the woman in his arms could not hide her letdown . " Anthony , it's me , Linda . " His embrace went slack , and his voice turned icy . " This is Jess's and my place . Don't come around unless you have to . And take Tracy with you ; I've decided not to take her in . " 1/3 Chapter 13 +25 Bonus Linda caught his hand in a panic . " Anthony , Tracy is your daughter . Are you really going to turn your back on her just for Jessica ? " Tracy is sick , and she's been asking for her dad . " He shrugged off her hand and stayed silent . Linda , eager to please , brought him chicken soup . " I made it myself , have some . " Anthony shoved the bowl away , annoyed . " Leave , I don't want to see anyone but Jess right now . " Anthony had already gotten the scoop from his assistant : Linda had been secretly messaging Jessica , and he still had the screenshots on his phone as proof . He kept his cool , though . Priority number one was finding Jessica , and he also did not want to upset Tracy . However , Linda just would not let it go . " Anthony , Jessica is gone for good . Didn't you ever think about us getting hitched ? Just picture it : the three of us , one big happy family . Wouldn't that be sweet ? " she pleaded . Anthony gave her an icy stare . " You should show some respect and call her ' Mrs. Harris ' , not just ' Jessica ' . " Linda bit back her rage . " Anthony , I'm the one who's legally tied to you , not this ' Mrs. Harris ' you keep mentioning . Can't you see that? " However , Anthony lost his temper , his voice thundering through the room , " I want you out ! You don't get to run things around here . " Linda was blindsided by his ruthlessness , tears flooding her face . " Alright , I'm gone . I never belonged in this place anyway ! " She sobbed her way out of the mansion . Lurking in the dark , Linda waited , but Anthony never came after her . Her fists tightened with fury . Then her phone buzzed . " Hey , Ms. Brown , I've got news .
