Marney was about to tell Leland off again for attacking her family when he started screaming at William. She clapped her hand over her mouth, shocked. She and Leland had never been particularly close but she had gathered bits and pieces about his past from talking to him at parties. This was just too much though, if Leland was telling the truth, that would be they were sister and brother. That would also mean…

She rounded on her father, pinning him with her glare now instead of Leland. “Tell me the truth,” she said sharply. She loved her father dearly, loved his money even more, but her mother was her mother. She wouldn’t let anyone cross the woman, even if it was the man that gave her life. “Tell me the god damn truth, or I will call Mom and have her here in seconds.”

William opened and closed his mouth a few times, clearly shocked at his own daughter turning on him. “Marney, please, we’ll talk about this later,” he said gruffly, giving Carlita’s boy a glare. “You’re making a scene.”

“No, we’re talking about this now!” Marney said louder, crossing her arms. She looked around to see that people were indeed starting to notice the commotion now. She knew her father would never tell her the truth if she kept questioning him directly, so she decided to take a different route. “Leland is the father of my baby William! I love him! And if you can’t accept that, then you can kiss walking me down the aisle goodbye!” She shouted loudly, throwing a wink over her shoulder at Leland.

William’s face went pale more people turned around. “Quiet Marney! Stop this nonsense!” he growled at his daughter, grabbing her arm roughly and pulling her towards him. “You want to know the truth, fine! She was a custodian in my office, she cleaned for us. Your mother was having an affair with the pool boy. A man’s got needs that need to be filled, and Carlita was easy on the eyes.” Marney winced at the hold her father had on her arm, but kept quiet, wanting to hear the rest of the story. She always knew there was something evil lurking under the surface of William’s perfect exterior.

“I never thought she’d fuck me over by getting pregnant with this little bastard!” He growled, his eyes flicking to Leland. “It was all the sluts little plan to drag herself out of the hole she—“
Marney had heard enough, and before she knew it, had slapped William across the face, hard. He released her arm, and she backed into Leland, rubbing the spot on her bicep that was purpling quickly. “Don’t you ever fucking touch me again,” she spat coldly. She turned to storm away from her father, grabbing Leland’s hand in the process.

“Come on Leland,” she ordered harshly, giving his hand a tug.
