Edrick's POVA text from John first thing in the morning was not on my bingo card.Of course, it was about the case. It was short and straight to the point.{We need Alina and Anna to give a statement later.}Typical John.I stretched my hands, yawning as I did.My eyes went to Jaime. He was still asleep. He looked nothing like the troubled boy who misses his mother.I wish he gets this much peace all through his life.I stepped out of the room, closing the door behind me, then went back to our room.To my surprise, Alina was in there. She sat by the mirror, applying lotion on her thighs.I gulped at the sight of it, stretched out on the vanity.Focus, I snapped at myself."You're up?" I asked. She almost lost her balance at the sound of my voice. Her hands shook, making the lotion fall and hit the ground."Edrick," she placed her hands on her chest."Sorry." I moved forward."You're up early.""I needed to give Clover her meds," she pointed out.Her voice was calm, normal, as if the

Edrick's POVI didn't know where to go to or what to even do next.Anna, Anna, Anna...The frustration she was causing me was getting out of hand, from the messy room, to how terrible she looked, to the fact that she was at Adrian's house, wearing his clothes, or the refusal to cooperate."Hey!" Alina called my name. I hadn't realized I had gotten to our room and was even walking past the door."What's wrong?" Her voice snapped me back to reality.I shook my head."How are you?" I asked.She smiled. "Good?" She shrugged her shoulders.Again, she really did look good. Dad's words did not get to her, and I was proud of her for that.But then, I need to warn him never to say something like that to my wife."Edrick, when are we going to give the statements?" she asked as we both entered the bedroom.I let out a breath."What?" she asked. "Is something wrong?"Of course, something is wrong, but the last thing I'd do is add to her problems by telling her."No. I'll speak to John. Just get r

EDRICK'S POVFinding his old shabby apartment was harder than I had thought. Thankfully, after about 30 minutes of digging, I found it.I walked up the shabby stairs, my legs moving as fast as they could.Room 304.I knocked.Waited.Nothing.I knocked again. This time harder.By the third knock, I was close to breaking down the door.“Who the fuck is that!” he yelled from inside, earning a smile from me.It took him almost a minute to get to the door and unlock it.“Hitting my door just because I owe rent?” he mumbled as he opened the door widely.His eyes met mine.He froze.Confusion, shock, and then fear.All three emotions flashed through his eyes.He gulped.I smiled.He then entered panic mode and tried to push the door and shut it in my face, but it was too late to do that. My hands were already pressed firmly against it, making it impossible to move.“Jason,” I smiled.The more I stared at him, the more the panic grew in his bones. The harder he tried to close the door.Final

Edrick's povWe got home, but still, my mind had a thousand things going on.Jason, work, Aria...Everything was getting to me at once."I'll go check on Clover," Alina said.She practically flew up the stairs after that, leaving me to myself.I sat on the living room couch, my head resting on my hand."You're back."Hannah's voice interrupted my mini thought session.I raised my head to meet her eyes."I thought you left for work," I said dryly."I did. I just came back early."She sat across from me, her eyes glued to me."What do you want, Hannah? Dad sent you to ask more questions?" I groaned.Her face squeezed into a frown."No," she said. "But you know Uncle wants what's best for us. Right?""And Alina isn't what's best for me?""No!" She almost yelled."The thing is, it's just a lot to take in. Alina and...""Hannah!" I yelled."It's overwhelming, Edrick. She came back from the dead after betraying you! She came back with a child and says it's yours.""Because Clover is mine! S
