All Chapters of Found: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Hearing Devyn tell me that she shared the same feelings as me did something to me. If we hadn’t been at the movie theater with all ten of our children, I would have kissed her just like I did on our first official date. Patience was key, though. Devyn would have time alone again soon. She was slowly becoming a part of my routine and my life.             “I’m glad we’re on the same page,” I said while returning the same smile she was giving me.

As soon as I sent the text to Devyn, I immediately regretted it. It’s not that I didn’t want to see her because that was furthest from the truth. Just from the short time of knowing Devyn, I could honestly say that she was what I needed in my life. She gave me something to look forward to.

Meeting Devyn’s father and brother for the first time under those circumstances was not what I intended. At the end of the day, I had to put my pride to the side and do what was best for my girls. I was just thankful that Devyn’s family was willing to work with me financially. Once everything settled down, I planned on making sure they had their money. As I pulled up on Skylar’s street, I parked a few houses down from Skylar’s house. It was the day she was going to get served, and I wanted to witness it. I wasn’t trying to be petty. With everything that had been going on, I needed to be sure that she actual

Kadeer was on his way back from North Carolina, and I was livid. I did not know how Skylar knew he was heading out there, but when he told me about the scene she caused in front of the girls, my blood started to boil. I knew it would be at least a day before he would get back to Louisiana because he was driving, but I couldn’t wait to see him. Am I starting to have real feelings for Kadeer?            I didn’t have time to process my feelings because my phone was begging for my attention. I looked at the screen, and it was m
