Chapter 42Damien walked into the hotel Chris was staying in now to allow the air to the mansion to clear out before he entered again. He sat idly in a chair as Damien walked in his hands around a glass drinking dark liquor. “Where have you been?” he asked.“That damn brother of yours is a real piece of work,” Damien replied, coming closer to the light so he could see the bruises that were patched up. “I got the text to not go home so I assumed you would be here.”Chris scoffed.“I know he already found you.” Damien nodded very smug and with an attitude. “And what did you tell him?”“Nothing. That fucker is crazy. Knocked me out and took me to his house.” Chris stood after setting his glass down, towering over Damien. “For just meeting the man for the first time, I’m sure you have questions.”Damien shook his head. “You told me ev

Chapter 44Chris walked casually as if he wasn’t a wanted fugitive up to the floor where Antonio was. His rage fueled his mission. The humiliating way Dan spoke about his mother and their sister, made Chris want to lash out. Janet and Jason wouldn’t listen to him and it was clear enough he was losing Damien. He refused to let Daniel beat him at his own game.The hospital floor was barely lit as the elevator door opened. There was barely anyone on the entire floor, which would be perfect but also didn’t sit right with him. He walked along the wall cautiously, hands reaching in the back of his jeans for his hand-tailored knife. He paused peaking around the corner as he noticed Janet walking out of the room on her phone.He was definitely in the right place. The only person he truly worried about was Dan. He was the only one he knew that could take him down. Several guards walked away on Janet’s command, which Chris found od

Chapter 46          Jason immediately lowered Dan’s gun down to invite him in. “Damien?” He wrapped his arms around his little brother, surprised to see him, but more so now that they had all the pieces together could welcome him with open arms. Janet walked over to him as well hugging him to Damien’s surprise. The sibling’s embrace was rather heartwarming as Damien didn’t know what to do with the affection.          “What happened, Damien? Have you taken your old man’s advice?” Dan asked, folding his arms as Damien pulled away from the twins.          “I read the letters, but it still doesn’t mean I trust you. Chris has been…he didn’t come back from the hotel and neither did your lawyer. Did you murder them?” Damien asked outright to Dan.

Chapter 48The quiet, eerie police station after dark only had a few officers there on duty during this shift. The rest went out on patrol which would, thankfully, give Antonio enough space to do what he needed to do, as quickly and efficiently as possible. There was a cold suspicion that Haynes was there. Of course, he would be to handle all of Chris’s needs; hopefully, it would lead Antonio right to him. Now Christopher Sanders was on everyone’s hit list.His key still worked for the back door as he tried to go to the evidence room without being caught or making too much noise. If things were filed correctly, Christavo’s gun would’ve been placed with the rest of the things on his person. He rested his hands on his hips as he walked forward, taking every breath with a step. His eyes glanced around the low-lit room searching each shelf for the gun.The door then opened to the police station causing Antonio to hide in between shelves, sq

Chapter 50          Antonio took a deep breath as he entered the nursing home he dreaded all his life. A hand touched his right shoulder and then another soft hand grabbed his rough one. Both Julissa and Janet were there to comfort him in this time where everything seemed so uncertain. It had been years since he even spoke to his mother, far too afraid of the outcome.          They all waited in the guest room, holding their breath as the nurse went out of the room to escort his mother to them. Antonio fixed his collar as he cleared his throat. A beautiful, Latin woman came into the room looking sad at first, but her eyes lit up once she saw her son.          “Antonio?”          “Hi, mother!” Antonio stood up as Julissa and Janet helped him go to he
