"And I'll be taking you with me as well," Adam snaps. "What happened to you? Do you have any idea how worried I was? You could have called me or sent me a message or something! You––"I catch Lydia looking between us, and I don't want her to jump to conclusions. "I thought you would be with Tina, so I didn't want to bother you two. Now, take the laptop and the phone.""What's wrong with her?" Adam whirls around to interrogate the healer. I shake my head at her and can see her reluctance.However. she keeps her promise. "She was attacked. I need to heal her, so it would be best if you leave the room."Adam turns to face me, and his eyes run over my body. He's quick to put two and two together. "Her arm and leg. They've already set, haven't they?""I'm afraid so," Lydia admits."I don't want you to stay.""You're going to shut up now," Adam says. His flashing eyes contradict his tone, however. "I'll hold her while you make the breaks. Be quick, though. I don't want any more pain than ne

It takes me a lot of planning to get Robert out of the apartment that coming Friday. As soon as he leaves to pick up some ribs from across the street, I slip outside into the back alley of the apartment complex. Maya is waiting for me with a package.She opens her arms to hug me, and I shake my head. "Can't risk it. They'll smell you on me.""What's going on, Cynthia?" Maya looks distressed. "Why are we meeting in back alleys, and why are you acting so secretive?""It's complicated." I sigh. "Did you bring the things?"She hands me a small bag. "Tony said everything you need is in here. He also put in a burner phone in case you need to get in touch with him. He says his phone is being monitored, so don't use your phone to call him."I check the contents of the bag and I lean against the alley wall, feeling relief. Down to that last time I called Tony to help me escape, I wasn't entirely sure he wouldn't betray me. But the fact that he's willing to take such risks to help me finally pu

Watson doesn't look the least bit upset. "I have worked hard to pair Adam with my daughter. I wasn't going to let a woman like you disrupt my daughter's future."His words are insulting, but I don't care."I saw the way Adam looked at you and defended you. I noticed how he faced off against his own brother for you. I didn't like it. Tina didn't like it either. Which is why this is the best solution for us all."He hands me the envelope. "This is a new identity, along with a forged birth certificate, educational degrees, and a resume with references. There is money in here that will let you settle anywhere for at least a year. All these new details have been updated in the system, and whoever runs a background check on you will be able to verify this information."I'm silent for a moment as I take the envelope, and then I ask, "And let me guess? In return, you want me to leave Seattle for good?""Don't ever come in front of Adam again," Watson says darkly. "You will be his downfall."T

CynthiaFour years later "Riya," I call out as I wander through the apartment looking for a three-year-old who enjoys playing hide and seek a little too much."Riya, if you don't come out right now," I begin, "I'm going to eat all your pancakes and drink the entire bottle of maple syrup. Just you wait. And I won't let Auntie Maya babysit you this weekend."My sharp ears pick up an outraged gasp from the laundry room, and I head over there, just in time to see a dark-haired little girl duck behind the washing machine. Grabbing her by the back of her dress, I pull her out."Not smart, kid. Not smart at all.""I don't want to go to school!" Riya looks up at me, her lower lip stuck out in a pout, the gray eyes she inherited from her father, annoyed."First of all," I pick her up in my arms, "it's not school. It's preschool. And you're supposed to make friends with kids your age.""They're all dumb," Riya complains, her arms around my neck as

I laugh. "I'll help as much as I can.""Oh, you bet your ass you will." Maya grins.Her smile fades as we reach the kitchen door, and she lowers her voice. "Hey, has Tony said anything to you?""About what?" I ask, taken aback by her shift in attitude.Maya looks concerned. "I don't know. He's just been acting really strange these days. He's getting phone calls and he's stepping out of the room to take them. I'm just worried."I stare at her. "You're not thinking… He's not… I mean, he loves you!"It takes Maya two seconds to grasp my line of thought, and she looks horrified. "Absolutely not! I would never think that. I just feel it's something else. He always shares everything with me, and it's just bothering me.""Have you tried talking to him?" I ask."I did," Maya admits, "but he looks really unhappy when I broach the topic, and I don't want to add to his stress.""It could be work-related, and perhaps he just doesn't want to stress you out in the condition that you are in." I pat
