Becca.“If you are asking if your father knew before our marriage that you and your brother are of his blood, then I will say no, I don’t think so. I don’t think he was aware we meant more than what we were to him.” Trying to keep my feelings and resentment out of my voice, I replied as simply as I could.“And now? Does he know?” This quietly asked question was from my son and I was silent for so long, even I was not sure I would answer. But do I have a choice now, seeing as how they are anxiously waiting for the answer?“Yes, just before I ran away with you the other day, I blurted it out and there is no doubt that he now knows you are his children.” I murmured softly with a loud sigh and the satisfactory glint that came to my children’s eyes almost got me screeching into the woods.Could this mean they are happy to have that man as their father? And if this is true, what will that do to my plans? Will they insist he should be a part of their lives? And if then, how the hell am I sup

Erica.“What are we going to do now?” I asked my brother who was reclining on the bed in a lazy fashion and he turned his head slightly on the bed to look at me.“What exactly?” He asked casually and I blinked. Why is he acting as if everything is as it should be?“You are in that mood. Ain’t you?” I accused knowingly and there goes another look.“In what mood exactly?” Again in an unconcerned voice and I wished I could throw something at him.As if he read my mind, he sent me a swift glance. “If you hurt me, you will be grinded by Mum and think of how that will affect your plans.” He reminded me and I had to control my emotions, albeit unwillingly.But wait! “What do you mean by ‘my plans’?” I then glared at him when his last words penetrated.He gave a light shrug. “Well, you are more anxious than me about this. Ain’t you?” His tone was light but I could see the watchfulness in them.Mmmm, so he is not as calm as he is trying to portray? Interesting!“Mmmm, isn’t it funny you are m

Christos.There was a little frown on my face as I sat in my office, contemplating my next move. I had gone to see Becca’s parents again in the hope of understanding some things better and while the meeting with them had greatly annoyed and shocked me, what I felt most was sadness and pain.A deep sadness knowing I had been the cause of so much pain to her and her old parents at such a young age.Of course I’m not trying at all to excuse the despicable behaviour of her parents, no matter what happened, I would not condone parents sending out their kids from their home just for a mistake that could happen to anyone, hell no, I am as disappointed in her parents as Becca must be. But after speaking to them, it’s plain to see how they have regretted their action and how much they have missed their daughter in the past years.The mother had not been able to stop crying! Every time her father talked about how she had gone to the party they told her not to go and then come back home changed

Christos.“If you don’t understand that we never planned to send our daughter out of her home, how then will she understand?” Anne Summer cried in dismay and I allowed myself not to feel any emotion.Either planned or not, they had indeed sent her out.“So how do you think we can locate her right now when you, her so-called husband, are finding it hard to achieve with all the resources you probably have at your disposal?” It’s obvious Josh Summer doesn’t know what to think of me yet. The man is definitely torn between listening to me and throwing me out. I really wouldn’t blame him. Not after admitting to them it was me who caused the disparagement between them and their daughter.It will take an immortal man to try such with me without me ripping out their souls to feed to the devil.My wolf snorted in disbelief and I tried to ignore the fact that I had earlier justified my own action by using alcohol as the excuse. But was it really all alcohol? Could it be that even in my inept sta

Becca.It was not until I saw the now sharpened gaze of the man watching me quietly from the side that I realised I just allowed my shields of protection to leave the room with my friend. Oh dammit! Was that why Cindy took them away? She thought I needed to be alone with this man?“Will you take a bite off my skin if I come closer?” The man had the nerve to ask softly and I gave him a disbelieving glare.“Don’t come closer. Not if you love your life.” I warned harshly and he winced but as if I could read his mind, I knew he would be difficult.“But my life is meaningless already without you agape mou, so it doesn’t matter if you finish what is left.” He intoned derisively and I had to hide my surprised emotions by lowering my lashes.“Please, I will appreciate it if you leave right now. I don’t really know why you would come in the first place. Not after I made it plain we are done.” My tone was clipped and flat and I was grateful for that at least.“The kids!” He murmured and I star
