“She said so, if you wanted.”
We dressed quickly and Stella let us in the back door. Her eyes were bright and her cheeks were pink. “I can’t believe you masterminded this whole thing!” Stella settled us in her kitchen.
“What all did he give you this time?” Luna asked.
“I got updated divorce papers and went over everything with my lawyer. Rodney is letting me have the house. We still have to have a separate meeting with the family law office, but he’s signed over sole custody for both girls since he’ll be so far away.”
“Do we know anything about alimony and child support yet?”
“I’ll have enough alimony to bridge the gap Luca is filling by being a tenant. That’s a massive relief. I don’t know about child support yet, but Rodney’s new office sent over paperwork with his new income and signing bonus information that I forwarded to my lawyer, so it’ll be calculated based on that.”
“I’m still kind of surprised Rodney is being this reasonable,” Luna said.
“You did box him into a very tempting corner,” I replied.
Stella nodded. “We’ve been separated for ages and he hasn’t budged an inch. I know he’s only doing this because of you. I don’t know how you got the connections to make this happen, but I’m so grateful.”
Pounding on the front door startled all of us.
“Do you want me to answer that? I asked Stella.
“I don’t really want to answer it at all. Who knocks like that and expects to be let in?”
“Stella! Let me the fuck in.”
Speak of the fucking devil.
Stella’s cheeks blanched and Luna was on her feet in an instant, putting herself between Stella and the door.
A swift kick to the door had a sound ricocheting through the house.
“I’ll handle it,” I told the sisters. I marched toward the door, carefully swung it open, and planted myself fully in the opening. “Can I help you?”
“What the fuck are you doing here? One sister isn’t enough for you?”
“Rodney.” Stella stepped up next to me. “I need you to leave.”
“I’m not going anywhere. Do you know he’s fucking your sister? You get the divorce papers and then hop on the first dick you can find?”
I could feel the fury radiating off Stella at my back.
“I’m not sleeping with him, or anyone. Not that it’s your business. I know he’s dating Luna.”
Rodney looked past me, a peculiar sort of delightful malice coalescing in his gaze.
“Oh, you know everything, do you? Did you know your sister is also a slut who fucks people for money and strips on stage?”
I turned immediately to Luna, seeing the horror apparent on her face.
“She’s not a slut, and of course I know,” said Stella calmly, both of us whipping toward her. “Now if you’re done trying to embarrass her, you need to leave. This is my house now. You have no right to be here.”
The fury in his eyes was unmistakable. “You’re fine with having a whore around our daughters?”
Stella slapped him straight across the face. “Luna has done more for our girls than you ever have. She loves them, so yeah, I’m fine with her being around them, and I don’t give a shit what her job is. Now leave or I’m calling the cops.”
“This stupid cunt has been trying to drive a wedge in our family for years and you’ve been letting her.”
“Watch your mouth,” I snapped. “Unless you want a repeat of the last time I saw you, you’re going to get off Stella’s property and show both of them respect.”
