Chapter 0186
Say what? I must be going deaf because I’m sure I didn’t hear what I think I heard.
“That can’t be right…I have no siblings, so you can’t be my baby’s uncle unless you’re…”
That’s when it fucking hits. Like a ton of fucking bricks. Shit why was this happening to me. As if I didn’t have enough to worry. Now I’m stressed about my child having a psychotic uncle.
“1 see you’ve figured it out” he leans forward expectantly. “Quite a clever girl”
“Does he know?” I ask slowly. My head still jumbled.
“No. He doesn’t remember. I was around twelve and Ethan was one when I was sent to juvie for a mission. my dad had ordered me to do. I didn’t really know that it was a crime or that he was grooming me to take, his place. By the time I got out, dad was already dead and Ethan has already been adopted.”
He’s quiet for a while. The memories playing in his eyes. Unlike the man Rowan killed, Ronny was born. into this life. Forced into it as a child. I see it as clearly as day.
“Why didn’t you get him when you got out and were old enough?” I ask. Making him look at me. 2
“I love my brother. I couldn’t do that to him. I couldn’t corrupt him with the life we were born into. He was happy and loved. Something that he wouldn’t have had with our dad. It would have been different had he been in the system or had your parents treated him like your adopted parents treated you. I saw how they loved him, so I left him even though it hurt me. It was the only way to give him a chance at a normal life”
Damn it. I didn’t want my heart to soften towards him. A man who would sacrifice a relationship with his brother just so he had a good life couldn’t be that bad, right?
“It didn’t stop him from ending up in prison though?” I whisper.
Even after all that sacrifice, Ethan still ended up doing some terrible crimes then ended up in prison.
“Yeah. Should have kept monitoring him after. Maybe then I would have helped him avoid prison”
“Probably by helping him come up with a better plan of killing me” I say sarcastically.
I should have been scared but I wasn’t. Not anymore.
It’s as we were talking that I realized that I had somehow placed the knife down. It wasn’t clutched in a
tight grip anymore.
So what do you want from me? Seeing you’re here, there has to be reason
“You do realize you’re a wanted criminal”
