Chapter Eighteen: Deals and Farewells

Rhea's POV

I can't stop worrying about my son. He hasn't called home yet. He was supposed to report to me after he located Helena's son and after he got rid of him but no such communication has occurred. He hasn't said anything and it's troubling me. Did Nathan overpower him? He took several men to do the job. Nathan should have been outnumbered. It should be a quick job. It's not the first time he has helped get an obstacle out of the way. He knows how it is done. Why is it that it has taken long?

We are waiting on a baby. She's four weeks along. I touched her stomach.

"Oh yes he's fine.
