Prologue

14 years ago

It smells as it always does in hospital waiting rooms, like a lot of disinfectant and medicine. Javier Garcia is in the waiting room, waiting for his wife, Alice, to come out with his newborn child, the eighth, to be exact.

She comes out of the hospital room with a little bundle in her arms and an enormous smile on her face, "Babe, it's a girl".

His eyes turn dark as he hears the words of his wife.

Javier pulls her out of the hospital, and towards the car. The ride back to the house is silent and the tension in the car is as thick as concrete. When they arrive home, their seven sons greet them and the new baby, but Javier just goes up the stairs and locks himself in his office.

Alice shows her sons, in a row, their new siblings: First is Diego and Oliver the age of 3, then the triplets Alejandro, Alex, and Jake the age of 2, and lastly come the second pair of twins, Noah and Thomas.

Although the boys are still very young, they are very careful with their baby sister and are unable to get the smile off their faces.

While their nanny, Linda, keeps an eye on the boys and the little newborn, Alice goes to see, what is keeping Javier so occupied in his office. As she opens the door, he starts yelling, "How is that my child!?" "what do you mean-", she gets cut off, "IT'S A GIRL!! All girls are always spoiled brats!" He flares his nostrils in annoyance. Alice smiles lightly, "but babe, that always depends on how the parents raise their child and I'm sure we are gonna do a great job. Trust me. She will turn out beautifully".

Together, they go down to see their sons fighting over a teddy bear, while their baby daughter, whom they named Avery, is sleeping peacefully in Linda's arms.

Alice's pov

I think I am slowly starting to understand Javier. I mean, Avery is a nightmare! Not only is she loud, but she barely sleeps and she makes a mess of everything. The boys were so much calmer and sweeter.

And to top it all off, Javier has been out almost every night for the past few months. The other day I found a bra in his car and of course it's not mine, 'cause I got bigger melons than that.

Back to the point... I am going to file for divorce and I am gonna make sure he takes care of this stupid baby, ugh I can't stand this girl anymore.

"Order. Order in the courtroom", the judge yells, "I have come to my final decision. Miss Alice Garcia will get the house, and custody of her seven sons, Diego, Oliver, Alejandro, Alex, Jake, Noah, and Thomas Garcia. Mister Javier Garcia will get custody of his daughter, Avery Garcia. Thank you, Jury, for your service today. The court is adjourned."

Javier's pov

I can't believe it. I can't fucking believe it!

I'm in the car with this stupid, spoiled brat driving to the apartment I had to buy because my now ex-wife took the house from me. Worst of all, she took my sons and left me with a useless piece of shit, a crappy apartment, and barely enough money to get by!

I swear I will make this kid's life a living hell, even if it's the last thing I do!
