Anthony Kicks Angelina Out After She Tries to Take Kai Away

Anthony Kicks Angelina Out After She Tries to Take Kai Away!

SCENE 1 — ANTHONY’S HOUSE — AFTERNOON

The house is peaceful. D’Nisha is sitting in the living room with Kai. She is spending time with him and making sure he feels comfortable. Kai is smiling and enjoying himself.

Anthony watches them from nearby. He feels happy seeing Kai getting along so well with D’Nisha. For a moment, everything seems peaceful.

Suddenly, someone knocks loudly on the front door. Anthony looks toward the entrance and walks over to open it.

ANTHONY

Who could that be?

Anthony opens the door and sees Angelina standing outside. She looks serious and determined. Her eyes immediately move past Anthony and land on Kai.

ANGELINA

I’m here to pick up Kai.

Anthony steps aside and allows her to enter. Angelina walks inside, but instead of greeting everyone, she keeps staring at D’Nisha and Kai.

D’NISHA

Hi, Angelina.

Angelina doesn’t respond. She walks directly toward Kai.

ANGELINA

Kai, come with me. We’re leaving.

KAI

But I was having fun with D’Nisha.

Angelina becomes irritated after hearing Kai say this. She looks at D’Nisha with an angry expression.

D’NISHA

Angelina, there’s no reason to get upset. Kai is safe here.

ANGELINA

I didn’t ask you anything.

SCENE 2 — THE TENSION RISES

Anthony immediately realizes that Angelina did not come simply to pick up Kai. Her attitude suggests that she is looking for an argument.

ANTHONY

You came here to pick up Kai. If that’s what you came for, then just take him.

Angelina looks at Kai again. She notices how comfortable he is around D’Nisha, and her jealousy and anger become stronger.

ANGELINA

So this is what is happening now? You’re letting her get this close to Kai?

ANTHONY

D’Nisha cares about Kai. She’s been good to him.

ANGELINA

I don’t like this.

ANTHONY

You don’t have to like everything, Angelina. But you need to respect the situation.

Angelina suddenly becomes more aggressive. She folds her arms and looks directly at Anthony.

ANGELINA

Fine. Then I’ll make this very simple.

ANGELINA

From now on, give all of Kai’s responsibility to Shayla. And Kai isn’t going to come see you anymore.

The room becomes completely silent. Anthony cannot believe what he has just heard. His expression changes immediately.

SCENE 3 — ANTHONY LOSES HIS PATIENCE

ANTHONY

What did you just say?

ANGELINA

You heard me. Shayla can handle everything from now on.

ANTHONY

You don’t get to walk into my house and decide that Kai can’t see me.

Angelina steps closer. Neither of them wants to back down.

ANGELINA

I’m his mother. I have every right to decide what’s best for him.

ANTHONY

You have the right to care about him. But you don’t have the right to use him to punish me.

Angelina looks offended by his words.

ANGELINA

Punish you? You’re the one who changed everything!

ANTHONY

No. I’m trying to give Kai a stable and peaceful environment.

D’Nisha tries to calm the situation before it becomes even worse.

D’NISHA

Anthony, maybe you should calm down.

ANTHONY

I’m calm. But I’m not going to let anyone threaten my relationship with Kai.

ANGELINA

This is because of her, isn’t it?

D’NISHA

This has nothing to do with me.

ANGELINA

Of course it does.

ANTHONY

Stop blaming D’Nisha.

SCENE 4 — ANTHONY MAKES HIS DECISION

Anthony has finally reached his limit. He looks directly at Angelina and speaks firmly.

ANTHONY

Angelina, you need to leave.

ANGELINA

Excuse me? You’re kicking me out?

ANTHONY

Yes. You came here looking for a fight, and you threatened to keep Kai away from me. I’m not going to stand here and argue with you all day.

Angelina is shocked. She never expected Anthony to stand up to her so strongly.

ANGELINA

You can’t do this to me!

ANTHONY

I can tell you to leave my home. If you want to discuss Kai, we can do it calmly. But you’re not going to threaten me in my own house.

Angelina looks toward Kai.

ANGELINA

Kai, come with me.

Kai hesitates. He doesn’t want to see the adults fighting.

KAI

Please stop fighting.

Anthony’s anger disappears for a moment when he sees how upset Kai has become.

ANTHONY

Kai, none of this is your fault. You don’t have to choose sides.

SCENE 5 — ANGELINA LEAVES

Anthony opens the front door and waits. Angelina slowly walks toward the entrance, still furious.

ANGELINA

This isn’t over, Anthony.

ANTHONY

I never said it was. But I’m not going to let you control my relationship with Kai.

Angelina walks outside. She turns around one last time and gives Anthony an angry look before walking away.

Anthony closes the door and takes a deep breath. D’Nisha walks toward him.

D’NISHA

Are you okay?

ANTHONY

I’m tired of fighting. But I’m not going to let anyone decide whether I get to be there for Kai.

SCENE 6 — ANGELINA’S CAR — EVENING

Angelina sits inside her car. She grips the steering wheel tightly, still thinking about everything that happened.

ANGELINA

If Anthony thinks he can just shut me out, he’s wrong.

She takes out her phone and begins thinking about Shayla. Her anger slowly turns into determination.

ANGELINA

I’m going to make sure he understands that I’m not going anywhere.

Angelina starts the car and drives away, already planning her next move.

SCENE 7 — ANTHONY’S HOUSE — NIGHT

Back at Anthony’s house, the atmosphere is finally quiet. D’Nisha sits with Kai while Anthony watches them.

ANTHONY

I know Angelina is going to come back with another plan.

D’NISHA

Then we’ll face it together.

ANTHONY

Together.

Anthony smiles and looks toward Kai. Although the argument has ended for now, he knows the conflict is far from finished.

Meanwhile, Angelina is already thinking about her next move. She may try to involve Shayla, take control of the situation, or find another way to keep Kai away from Anthony.

Will Angelina return with a new plan? Will Shayla become involved in the conflict? And will Anthony be able to protect his relationship with Kai while keeping peace with D’Nisha?
