At least not right now.

My mother could read my expression, and her gaze softened.

“It wasn’t fait of me to ask you to get Ethan’s help, and it wouldn’t be fair of me to ask you to get Gavin’s. help. So, I’m doing my part and trying to get help without making our family look pathetic,” she

explained. “This is something I have to do. If all goes well, I should be able to get him out of prison in a few months and we can be a family again.”

Tears slipped down my cheeks as I nodded, not sure what else to do or say.

She cupped my face with her warm hands and brought my face up to meet her gaze.

I sniffled and wiped my moist cheeks.

“It’s not your fault,” I assured her, knowing just how true that was.

.He raised his brows.

“Are you sure?”

“She’s made up her mind, Gavin,” I told him. “But if we leave… you have to promise me that you’ll make sure they treat my mother with respect and kindness. Don’t let this…” I held up my injured hand. “… happen to her too.”

His eyes darkened and he nodded.

“I’ll speak with them,” he said without hesitation. “They won’t lay a finger on her.”

I was relieved to hear that, and I turned to walk back to the servant’s quarters, but he grabbed my arm to stop me.

“Pack your things. Beta Taylor will be by tonight to grab you. Tell them you’re staying with a friend going forward.”
