When Brianna arrived at the school and found the teacher’s office, she spotted Kendra looking defiant, staring down the teacher and the other parents with a challenging glare.

Her attitude only grew older when she saw Brianna.

Brianna stepped into the office, and Kendra rushed over, latching onto her leg and bursting into wails. “Mommy, Mommy, I wanna go home.”

She scooped up Kendra, cradling her close, and calmly asked the teacher to fill her in on what happened.

It stemmed from a petty squabble between the two kids a few days back. Kendra had shoved her classmate first.

The classmate pushed back, and it turned into a full–on fight.

The teacher intervened, got them to apologize, and they shook hands and called it even.

But today in PE, the classmate accidentally bumped into Kendra again.

Out of nowhere, Kendra pounced, grabbing the girl’s hair and clawing at her face.

“Look at this, her face is scratched to hell, even bleeding.” The other mom shot daggers, jabbing a finger at the angry red marks on her child’s cheek.

“I’m so sorry. We’ll get to the bottom of this and make it right.” Brianna kept apologizing.

The teacher gave a faint, mocking smile and went on.

She said, “The PE teacher pulled her away, and when I told her to say sorry, you know what she blurted out? ‘My dad’s the CEO of the Levy Group. Tomorrow I’ll make him expel her from school.”

Brianna could hardly believe her ears. She thought, ‘Is Kendra really this out of control?‘

She and Brandon had always doted on Kendra, but they’d never been pushover parents without rules.

She turned to Kendra and asked for her side.

By now, Kendra was all bluster, her tears long dried. “She started it!”

“Kendra!” Brianna’s temper flared, but she reined it in. “That’s not okay.”

The other parent let out a cold snort. “Yeah, we all know the Levy Group’s a big deal. But come on, Mrs. Levy, this isn’t your private kingdom, and your family doesn’t get to play God, right?”

Brianna apologized profusely. “Darcy told me if she bugs me again, I should scratch her eyes out!”

“Enough!” Brianna fought the urge to slap her, opting for a sharp yell instead as she set her down and positioned her squarely in front. “Stand up straight!”

She took a deep breath to steady herself. “Kendra, apologize to your classmate right now.”

Brianna’s tone was firm, no wiggle room.

Kendra dug in her heels, folding her little arms across her chest and scowling in defiance. “You’re no fun! I don’t want you. I want Darcy as my mom!”

In all these years, Brianna had never once hit Kendra.

With people watching, she swallowed her rage and held back.

The other parent, seeing just how spoiled Kendra was, snorted again. “No offense, Mrs. Levy, but you seriously need to get a handle on your kid.”

Brianna said, “I’m truly sorry. How about this: We’ll take your child to the hospital now, and tomorrow I’ll ensure Kendra gives a proper apology.”

Brianna thought, ‘Best to calm things down here and handle the punishment at home.‘

“You seem like a sensible type. Alright, we’ll head to the doctor with our kid and forward you the bills.”

After walking the other parents out, Brianna headed back to the office.

Seeing Kendra act like this filled her with guilt. She hadn’t been involved much lately. No one knew Kendra had gotten this unruly.

She talked with the teacher about Kendra’s recent performance; the feedback was polite, but the frustration was clear

In short, Kendra was sharp and clever, but way too competitive and bossy, a real tyrant in the making.

Brianna sucked in a breath. That wasn’t the Kendra she’d tried to raise.

Chapter 23 Want Darcy to Be Mam

As they left the school, mother and daughter sat in tense silence, stewing in their own moods. kendra hunkered–down in the back seat, staring stubbornly out the window.

She could tell Brianna was peeking at her in the rearview, so she doubled down on the icy vibe. Brianna’s head pounded at her temples.

Back at the house, the staff were caught off guard. They thought, ‘Mrs. Levy is home? And she’d fetched Kendra herself? The moment the car door swung open, Kendra leaped out, charged into the villa, raced up to her room, and slammed the door, locking it tight.

“Mrs. Levy.” The butler greeted her, brow furrowed in confusion.

“Is Brandon back yet?”

“No, Mrs. Levy. Mr. Levy’s been coming home quite late these days.”

Brianna responded with a casual “oh” and plopped down on the sofa, pulling out her phone to dial Brandon. “Hello.”

Brianna said, “Hey, something came up with Kendra at school. Get home, I need to talk to you.” “What happened? Is Kendra alright?”

As soon as Brandon asked, a familiar woman’s voice floated through the line. “Brandon, want some fruit?” Brianna’s fury spiked even higher. “Oh, now you care about your daughter? Hurry up and get back here!”

She slammed the phone down, leaving Brandon staring at the screen, momentarily stunned.

Her barking at him like that? It was a first after all these years.

She’d always either begged pitifully or thrown dramatic threats. He thought, ‘What has gotten into her today?‘

Back in the villa, Brianna stormed upstairs, steaming.

She rapped on the door, trying to keep her cool. “Kendra, open up. Mommy wants to talk.”

Kendra said, “I don’t want you!”

Brianna drew in a deep breath. “Kendra, everyone makes mistakes. It’s okay as long as we fix them. Come on, open the door so we can chat.”
