Chapter twelve Eileen and Mrs. Maya stayed up late, sitting in the kitchen, hoping to get a message from Detective Alvarez. Eileen also turned on the news, trying to see if there was any information about what happened the night before, but there was nothing. That morning, she woke up late, her entire body aching from all the pain Jose had inflicted on her. She stood naked in front of the mirror, scanning the burns, scratches, and bite marks he gave her.Jose was right—pain did make her stronger. Looking at all these scars gave her the strength to keep fighting for her freedom.Josh sat at the dining table, playing his game on his iPad with his headset on. Eileen passed behind him, mouthing the words good morning with a smile. He nodded softly at her. It was a relief that they weren’t always fighting. She knew their relationship was far from what a mother and son should have, but still, she was grateful for this little peace.She met Mrs. Maya in the kitchen, who was preparing some m

Chapter fourteen Eileen wore her robe as soon as she woke up. It was time to do something—no more waiting around. She was determined. If she didn’t hear from the detective today, she’d take the risk and go to the station herself. It had already been three days since José last spent the night at the house. His absence gave her room to breathe, to think clearly for the first time.She tiptoed to Josh’s room before going downstairs, peeking through the door. A soft smile spread across her face when she saw him still sleeping peacefully, his toy train still rolling in circles on the track he built. Her heart swelled at the sight.In the kitchen, she reached for the secret phone and held her breath, silently praying that the detective had finally responded. A sigh of relief escaped her lips when she saw a message notification.I'm sorry for not replying. My phone fell during the chase and was faulty—I just got it fixed.She quickly texted back:Thank God you’re okay. I was beginning to th

Chapter sixteenIt had been two days since Josh’s birthday. He and the little puppy had become inseparable—best friends in such a short time. After much thought, Josh finally named her Nunu. The puppy was full of life, always jumping around and wagging her tiny tail. Josh did everything with Nunu. Eilleen was glad she'd finally found a way to pull Josh away from his iPad. This puppy was good for him—it made him happy. And Josh being happy made her happy, too.But beneath that happiness was fear.Jose hadn’t called since the last message he sent. That silence scared her more than any threat. She wished he was ranting or screaming—anything that would give her a hint about what he was planning. But the silence? The silence was dangerous.Eilleen was in her room when she saw Jose’s convoy drive into the compound. He was back.Her breath caught in her throat. Her hands began to tremble. She prayed, over and over again, that if punishment was coming, let it be hers alone.She stepped slowly

The morning wind came soft with the scent of roses. The birds flew around in their beautiful colors, singing their beautiful songs. The sky was bright and clear. It would have been a beautiful morning if Eilleen woke up beside Steve, if she woke up to the soft cry from Henry's room. In this house, it was very hard to see the beauty in anything. Everything was just in plain colors of black and white.Paying Mike the hundred thousand dollars for his silence wasn't a problem for her. Her problem was she knew he wasn't ever going to stop. He would keep her in his grip.Eilleen sluggishly stood from bed. She dragged her feet as she peeked into Josh's room. He was still sleeping softly. She wished she could just take all his pain away. He was too young for what he was going through.Eilleen transferred the money from the joint account she had with José. It was the very first time she had taken such a huge amount, so she had to be careful so José wouldn’t suspect a thing. She transferred it

Eilleen grabbed the gun out of her son's hands. In a hurry she sped to the kitchen and tossed the gun in the cupboard where she hid her secret phone. She was furious. How could he? she kept asking herself as she paced back and forth in the kitchen. She had always known that José would influence Josh into his violent lifestyle, but she never thought he would start this extreme at such an early age.She jammed the cupboard closed and headed back to the room. She stopped at the door when she heard José on the phone. “The shipment is ready to move,” he said to the other person. “You need to take caution while moving it in the morning. Move it to the safe house I’ll text to you.”Eilleen stood quietly, eavesdropping. He wrote a short text, then placed his phone back in his pocket before lighting his cigar and taking a deep puff. The room reeked of cigarettes and wine.“Why would you give Josh a gun?” she asked as she confronted him, her hands folded across her chest and her eyes locked on
