He felt some comfort knowing he would spend his last moments with the people he cared most about, his brother, Lucian, and the love of his life Alexa. A tear fell from his eyes knowing he would never have her, in this life or the next, Fate was truly cruel. Yet, he felt some solace knowing his brother wouldn't suffer the same fate.

As usual, it was all in Ray's favor and not him. “I am done talking to you. Let me give my last warning to you, Mr. Perkins. I don't know the kind of beef you have with me or how I have offended you but, listen up, if you lay your finger on Alexa, your price would be worst than just death! And I mean it!”

Just closure." I went. Garrett waited for me in his car nearby. "Call if you need anything," he said, squeezing my hand. "I'll be fine." The coffee shop looked exactly the same.

It had been decades since then, when he had watched her waste away in that bed too large for her starved, sick frame.
