They had been married for 10 years on the outside everything was perfect. Leslie had just given birth to their 4 son but as usual Mike was not there. Mike was a drunk that was living off his wifes inheritance. They were a private family so it was easy for them to hide all their problems. With everyday that past the emotional abuse from her husband drew her closer to the door. It wasn't until she came home with there newest addition that she realized it was over.
When Leslie brought Blake home she could not find Austin, Sean, or Nathan her boys. "Boys I'm home, come meet Blake." Leslie called trying to bring them out of hind. But all she heard was a women screaming " you're married?" fallowed by a slap. At this point Leslie already knew she had to leave but didn't want Mike to have anything. Leslie's tried to leave before but Mike would always threaten to take the kids and her money so she would stay. Mike knew that she would never leave her kids so he used this.
When she finally came face to face with her husband and his lover her face was expressionless. Leslie finally said " Get out" her husbands lover headed for the door as Leslie continued " Where are my children? Have you even seen them since I left to the hospital?" "Shut up I know where my kids are I think" Mike was still drunk in his mind he could care less about this and left.
Lessie found her boys at Mike's mothers house. " An thank you for watching my boys I can take them home now." An's eye where cold Leslie could already tell she just wanted money. That's all they ever wanted after her parents died 5 years ago. " So you think I did this for free? You have 3 boys that $10,000 per child for each night. I want give them back until I have my money. I'll take a check so hurry to your car and write it." Leslie knew that was the only way to get rid of her and get her kids back. She went to the car and wrote a check for $60,000 went back inside and retrieved her kids.
She look at ther little faces and knew thing had to change. But was she willing to leave the man that she loved the man that only changed when the money came. Leslie called her accountant and told him to hide as much of her money as possible she only want 1mil in their account. "You've finally had enough then, do you need me to do anything else for you? You know I've always hated Mike, I knew he would change when the money came but he got you pregnant to make you stay." "I know, I finally see he won't be the man I fell in love with anymore. Can you find me a town home to rent something not to expensive I don't want him to know I still have the money. Also set up a meeting with my lawyer. I will have to act like we're fine until everything is ready."
That night she held her boys extra tight she new everything was about to change for them. "Austin over the next few days thing will be a little crazy. You're the oldest so mommy is counting on you to be strong and if you see any signs that mommy and daddy will argue I want you take your bothers to the playroom and keep them distracted. Can mommy count on you?" Although Austin was just 5 he knew he'd have to protect his mom "You can count on me mommy, I love you."
She kids her boys goodnight and went downstairs with Blake. She warmed him a bottle and began singing to him has he ate. When Blake fell asleep Leslie put him in his crib. She would not let herself cry over this man she knew he would get what he deserved in the end. Leslie played out the conversation they would have in her head. She had to remain calm all she could do was wait. It was now midnight and there was no sign her husband would return. She hoped she'd get a call saying her husband was in an accident and died but she knew that was to good to be true. Blake began crying out was time to eat she almost forgot her baby needs to eat every 2 hours. As she clamed Blake down she made him another bottle and got him back to sleep in his crib. She had a strange feeling after putting him down.
Thats when the door opened the sent of alcohol filled the house. As her husband stumbled in.
