Inside the bathroom, Callum pouted, his blue eyes shimmering with tears.
He stood on the toilet lid and declared with his hands on his hip, "You're so mean, Daddy. She's my mommy, only mine! Of course she can bathe with me! She loves me the most!"
Nathaniel was busy running the bath, and his face turned grim as he replied, "She's my wife first, then your mom."
"But she doesn't want to be your wife, meanie! You can't even woo a girl. It's no wonder you're losing her!" Callum, young as he was, understood more than they realized.
"She might not be your wife in the future, but she'll always be my mommy," Callum boasted, wiggling his little bottom. "So, I'm better than you, Daddy! Mommy can bathe with me, not you!"
Outside, Mavis chuckled at their banter.
Callum was just too adorable.
However, someone inside the bathroom was not amused.
Nathaniel's brow furrowed as he turned on the shower, and his mood darkened as he walked toward his son.
Callum sensed the danger, and his expression changed instantly. He tried to escape, but his little legs were no match for Nathaniel's reach.
Suddenly, squeals erupted from the bathroom.
"Ah! Mommy, help me! Daddy's hitting me because he can't win with words! Ouch! Daddy's being mean!"
Mavis grew anxious as she heard the sound of the running water and loud slaps. She tried to open the door, but Nathaniel had locked it.
Left with no choice, she knocked. "Nathaniel, be nice and reason with him. Don't hit him."
"Mommy! Mommy!"
"Daddy, you're in trouble! Mommy will help me! Ow!"

The readers' comments on the novel: Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson)
The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
