Chapter 118
I feel as ay anger starts rising to the surface. I know what Brian said, but I still haven’t ruled out Reaper
from my list of suspects.
I mean, come the fuck on, he had Ava kidnapped. You just don’t do that unless you have an ulterior motive. Plus, what Brian says just doesn’t make sense. Why would he kidnap her and then force me to
make a decision if he really didn’t want her to get hurt?
“What the fuck are you doing here?” I snarl at him.
His eyes sweep over me to the rest. They’ve all stood up in guard, but that doesn’t seem to faze him at all.
One thing that makes Reaper really dangerous is the fact that he was maniac. Sure, I am cold, but Reaper
takes that to a whole new level. He is a sociopath and a psychopath, all wrapped in a pretty ugly and
deadly bow.
“I’m here to see, Ava. Why else do you think I would be here? To see your sorry ass?” he asks with a
devious smirk.
I grind my teeth, willing myself not to start a fightin
kicked out, and I couldn’t have that.
a fucking hospital. It would be the sure way to get
“And you honestly think we believe that? Gabe asks him. “You kidnapped her a few months ago.”
He turns those deadly eyes towards my brother. I’m not easily fazed, but Reapers eyes radiate a kind of
coldness that had you feeling chills down your spine.
His eyes were dead and cold. Almost like the man didn’t have a fucking soul. Maybe he didn’t. Who the
fuck knows anyway?
“I personally don’t care what the fuck you think because I am not here for any of you.” he doesn’t lose his
composure at all. “Now are you going to tell me how she is or should I find her doctor myself?”
His condescending tone, not to mention his attitude was grating on my nerves. I don’t even understand
what he is doing here in the first place.
“Why would we tell you that? For all we know, you’re the bastard that put a hit on her” I tell him through
clenched.
He stares at me with wide eyes, before throwing his head back and laughing. It rings off the walls of the
waiting room, leaving goosebumps all over my skin.

He suddenly stops and his gaze fixes on me.
“Trust me, if I wanted Ava dead, she’d be dead” he says in that same icy tone.
“Then if you’re not the one responsible, then why are you here? I don’t really see how her health is any of your concern” Nora speaks.
His gaze leaves mine before it sweeps over the rest. They finally rest on someone behind me. I slowly turn to check who he was looking at. It’s Corrine.
He lingers there for a while. He looks enraptured while Corrine looked like she couldn’t keep her eyes of him. He finally pulls his gaze away with what I am damn sure is great difficulty.
Interesting.
He focuses on Nora. “Well she’s carrying my niece, of course I will be concerned about her”
He delivers the line smoothly, but leaves us shocked.
The man must be delusional or something. There is no way I just heard him right. How the fuck could he be the baby’s uncle. I don’t think he is related to Ava in anyway. Unless he’s a long lost brother of hers.
“Th–that’s impossible” Letty stammers.
By Nora and Theo’s reaction, Reaper couldn’t be their son, so if he was telling the truth then he is related
to the baby some other way.
I study him and that’s when it clicks.
“You’re Ethan’s brother” I announce as the similarities ring in my head.
“Bingo”
“But how?” Nora whispers. “When we adopted Ethan we were told that he had no family left”
“I was in juvie then, word got back to me from one of my father’s men that Ethan was in foster care. I told
them to mess with his records so that it seemed like our dad was the only family he had.” He pauses.
Like I told Ava, I wanted him to have a chance at a normal life. So that’s what I gave him. I didn’t want
him to turn out a criminal”
“And yet he still ended up in prison,” I tell him sarcastically.
He laughs, but this time it isn’t chilly. It’s sort of warm. If you can even call it that.
“Ava said the same damn thing”

He doesn’t listen. In fact he squeezes her neck.
Travis tries to get him off his sister, while the rest stand frozen, but he doesn’t budge.
