-Chapter Forty One-
Roy asks that morning as I get him ready for school. I knew this question would come sooner than later. He has been asking that since yesterday after Ramon got arrested.
"He is gone."
He frowns for a second then beams. "Will he be back?"
I fake a smile and lie. "Yes."
"Tell him to bring me more toys!!!"
He shrieks in delight and for a moment there, I feel like tearing up.
I glance away and reach for his bag.
Why would Ramon do this to me again? Why would he kill my dad and then kill my mom? I wonder what story he has to cook up this time to make me believe him.
I hang the bag on his back and take his hand.
"Time to go to school, Roy."
"Did you hear me, Mommy?"
Roy asks as we head towards the door.
"What?"
"Please tell Daddy to bring me more toys when he comes back..."
"I will..."
My son can be really persistent at times. Until

Gold diggers who use their pretty faces and big asses to get money from older men. It's not like I care if she steals from Dad anyways. I would laugh in his face if karma served him such a hot dish."So, Camilla... I have heard a lot about you," she says with that wide smile.This girl must be a smiling machine."Well, he hasn't told me a single thing about you..."Solidad gasps.
