I swallowed my fury. "Layla's baby is still floating in amniotic fluid. What's it going to play with?"
Layla clung to Alex's arm and cocked an eyebrow at me, smug as ever.
"Oh, Felicia, you're so out of the loop. These aren't for the baby."
"They're birthday gifts for the billionaire's son."
The moment she mentioned him, my fingertips twitched. My mind went blank.
I didn't even notice when Alex snatched the toy right out of my hands.
His gaze swept over my clothes and jewelry, his eyes full of open contempt.
"All these years, eating my food, wearing what I paid for, and now you want to spend my money fighting me over toys?"
"Felicia, could you at least try to keep some dignity?"
Seeing me frozen in place, Layla giggled.
"Scared already, Felicia?"
"Imagine how you'd lose your mind if you knew Alex and I are heading to that birthday gala next."
My eyelid twitched. The words left my mouth before I could think.
"Funny. I don't recall seeing either of your names on the guest list."
Layla scoffed and rolled her eyes at me.
"Called it. Who do you think you are?"
"Without Alex pulling strings for you, you wouldn't even qualify to set foot in a store like this."
Alex shot me a guarded look.
