Chapter 4 The sudden arrival of black SUVs caught everyone off guard . The noisy schoolyard fell into an eerie silence . The parents who'd been holding me down scattered like leaves in the wind , smoothing their designer clothes and fixing their hair . Ashley withdrew her stiletto from my cheek , her attention locked on the impressive convoy . I pulled myself up quickly , drawing Emma close to my chest . The security detail moved with practiced precision as one of them opened the lead car's door . Jack stepped out , the perfect image of corporate power in his custom - tailored suit . His mere presence drew every eye in the yard . The crowd buzzed with recognition . " Is that really Mr. Walker ? " " My God , look at him - even more impressive in person ! " " That suit must cost a fortune . No wonder she couldn't resist him , though being a homewrecker is still disgusting . " As whispers rippled through the crowd , Ashley floated towards Jack with practiced elegance , sliding her arm through his .

" This stupid girl tried fighting back when I hit her . " His voice filled with pride . " But I got her good with that wire trick ! " Jack squeezed his cheeks approvingly . " That's my warrior ! Such spirit ! " " Remember , son - if anyone fights back , you hit harder . Don't worry about consequences . Dad will handle everything . Understood ? " Tyler nodded eagerly . " Got it , Dad !
