IMPORTANT: IF YOU HAVEN'T READ "WICKED RE-LOADED", "THESE VIOLENT DELIGHTS HAVE VIOLENT ENDS", OR "YOU'LL ALWAYS HAVE ME TO DANCE WITH" YOU WON'T UNDERSTAND SOME OF THE STUFF IN THIS BOOK. I HIGHLY SUGGEST YOU READ THEM BEFORE STARTING THIS ONE.

Prologue

Harley squeezed her eyes closed, allowing more tired, stressed out tears leave her eyes.

The Joker was down stairs having a temper tantrum, Lucyfer was staying with Ivy—for obvious reasons—and she felt alone.

Hadlynn was gone. Johnny wasn't even around very much since Hadlynn left. For once Harley had a home all to herself, with the man she loved.

And for some odd reason, she thought they'd be celebrating the news of a baby at the moment, not having their own breakdowns.

She didn't know how to tell him, she'd hoped that if she added a happy and excited tone to her voice, he'd be happy, too.

HA!

His exact words were:

"How could you do this to me right now? And present it like it's some fuckin' gift that you're pregnant!"

Which she happily replied to with:

"It is a fuckin' gift! If you'd stop bein' so god damn greedy and all about money and luxury, you'd actually see that havin' a child, is the greatest gift of all, you fuckin' bastard!"

Which led to:

"You fuckin' bitch! You're crazier than I thought if you think I want another fuckin' kid with you!"

And ended with:

"Fine! I'll go find someone else to knock me up whenever I want even more kids!"

Which earned her a slap, so she hit him back, he slung her to the floor and finally just kicked her out the living room.

She hated him at the moment. She knew she didn't really hate him, just his temper.

He'd told her plenty that he didn't want anymore kids with her. She knew he meant that he didn't want anymore kids of his own flesh and blood, not just he didn't want anymore particularly with her.

He wanted Hadlynn's kid once it was born and then he was done for.

Until Harley told him the news.

His whole plan shattered apparently, because of her.

She let out a choked sob and he screamed at her to shut up.

Why had she even told him?

Hell, he barely paid attention to her. He might not have even noticed her pregnancy if she didn't tell him.

All he was worried about was Hadlynn and making her life hell.

She wish he'd just kill the bitch and be done with it.

She loved her sister, more than anything, but she was completely toxic. Burning herself and anyone who tried to be kind to her.

Her patience ran out with her younger sister when she kissed Joker. But it had completely went to hell when she took Harley and J's nephew from them and Lucy.

Oh, God. Lucy still didn't know about the new baby or Vincent and Hadlynn leaving.

A wave of stress and failure rolls through her and she cries out again, resulting in J shooting a hole into the ceiling downstairs.

Her hands shake as she wipes her eyes and catches her breath.

She stood to her feet, hearing him laugh to himself, and she walked to the door.

Building up enough courage, she opened it and prepared herself to confront The Devil himself.

Chapter One will be posted later tonight.
