Did someone splice this recording (6)

Sarah gave the phone back to Lily. Lily then hit an app her uncle installed for her.

When Marcus came home he played the audio.

"You are so luckily right now you little brat that your dad asked me to come to his office. See he wants to spend time with me and not you, remember once I marry your dad I will make you disappear for life."

"Madam, you can't talk to her like that. She is just a child."

"You are just the help one word from me and you are out of a job."

"I hate you... you old witch, get out of my house. You will never be welcome here."

"We will see, soon this will all be mine."

you then heard the door shut.

"I hope this worked like Uncle Marcus said."

The recording was clear. He now had to give it to his brother. If his brother thought they were all lying this would prove they were being truthful.

Sarah waited a few hours for Harrison to get done with his meeting and when he walked into his office she flew into his arms and kissed him.

"I missed you. How was your trip?" she said.

"Good, we have two new projects to work on now." he said.

"I am glad for you. Lets go to dinner and celebrate."

"I'm really tired. I got in late last night and did not get much sleep. I also have not seen my daughter so I would like to spend some time with her." he said.

"Let's go to dinner as a family then. She really needs to see how happy we could be together."

"Ok, I guess that will work. Make a reservation any where you like. I'll pick you up at 7. Make the reservation for 7:30."

"Ok Darling, I love you see you at 7 sharp don't be late." She the walked out.

She then called 'B Pесторане' a Russian restaurant. Lily would really hate the food there. She smiled as she made the reservation.

Ariel got a call telling her to make sure Lily was dressed up for dinner out. He would be home at six to change himself.

Lily was excited to go out with her father. She picked a pretty pink dress. She had Ariel curl her hair and put a matching bow in it.

"What are you going to wear?" Lily asked.

"Oh, I'm not going. He said nothing about me being ready." Ariel said.

"You are my nanny, you have to go. What if I need to go potty. Daddy can't take me in the boys room."

Lily made sense in what she was saying. Ariel went to look at her clothing. She had no fancy dress to wear. Lily looked at her and ran out.

Ariel was holding a plain grey dress up to herself in the mirror when Lily came back with a beautiful long flowing baby blue dress.

"You can wear this. It was my mommy's."

"I can't wear it sweetie."she said

"Please, you would look like the Princess you are. Plus the dress looks like water. Just right for a Mermaid." Lily said with a smile

"She is right it would look great on you. Kimmy only wore that dress once and hated it cause she preferred Jeans and tshirts." Marcus said standing in the doorway.

"Ok, give it here. I'll be right out."

Ariel put on the dress. It fit perfectly as if it was made for her. She was worried because of her height that it would not fit. She styled her hair in a up style.

When she walked our Marcus's mouth hit the floor.

"How do I look?" She asked.

"You are so pretty." Lily said.

"I am speechless. You are stunning." He feel more in love with her.

When Harrison came home he showered, and put on a clean suit. When he walked back down he stopped. "Kimberly, is that you?"

Ariel turned around. He stood there looking in shock.

"It's you, why are you dressed in my wife's dress?" he asked.

"Lily asked me to wear it to dinner so I don't embarrass you."

"I'm sorry, I think there is a miss understanding. It's just Lily and I." he said.

"What if she needs to go potty, you can't take her in the men's room."

"Sarah can take her. It's just a family dinner. But you do look nice."

Marcus waited till they were done speaking. "Brother you need to listen to this," and he played the recording.

Harrison closed his eyes, 'Why was it like this? Sarah was a good person willing to raised another womans child but that was all a lie. How could he not see this'

He picked up the phone and called her, "Where are we going tonight?" he asked.

"B Pесторане, why?" She asked.

"Just checking see you in a little while."

He then call the restaurant and changed the reservation from 3 to 5.

"Does that mean you now believe us about her?" Marcus said.

"Yes, but she needs to be punished for this betrayal. Go get dressed. Ariel you are coming with us." He then flopped into a chair and put his head back. This was turning out to be a really bad day.

Ariel and Lily sat in the back of the car. Marcus was in the passenger side. He dropped Ariel and Marcus off at the restaurant and Lily and him went to pick up Sarah.

Sarah came out wearing a long black backless dress.

When he opened the car door she said,"Darling, thank you." and she kissed his cheek. "Good to see you princess."

Lily just said "Humf"

They drove to the restaurant. He got Lily out first before he opened Sarah's door.

"I planed a little surprise for you tonight. I have been thinking about our future."

"I can't wait then." 'Oh my goodness he is going to propose that's why he wanted to know what restaurant we were going to.' she thought to herself.

They walked in and were led to a table were Marcus and and a woman that look a little like the nanny. 'He has his brother here he really is going to propose.' she thought.

They sat down and ordered dinner. Then when dinner was over he handed her the phone.

"What is this?" She said.

"Hit play"

"You are so luckily right now you little brat that your dad asked me to come to his office. See he wants to spend time with me and not you Remember once I marry your dad I will make you disappear for life."

"Madam, you can't talk to her like that. She is just a child."

"You are just the help, one word from me and you are out of a job."

"I hate you... you old witch, get out of my house. You will never be welcome here."

"We will see this will all be mine." he then heard the door shut.

Sarah was turning green. The little brat recorded her.

"What is this, did someone splice this recording to make me sound mean. This is obviously a set up." She said laying the phone down.

"Let me tell you some facts. The only reason for me to ever marry again is for my daughter. I had one sole mate and she is gone. I will never love anyone as much as I loved my wife. So if my daughter is a brat and you want to send her away then you are the one going away. Nobody treats my little princess like that. I should of believed her the first time she told me you were mean to her. After tonight I never want to see you again. If I do you will not be able to survive here anymore."

He then threw down $100 bill, "Take a taxi home.

Ariel laid her hand on Lily the hold her back. She could see she wanted to jump in but she did not let the little girl do so. This was something only her father should handle.
