Tempting The Mafia Twins (Genesis and Kiefer) novel Chapter 11

“Did Kiefer ever hurt you Mommy?”

“He made me sad,” she thought of him fucking around with

Laoise, “and it hurt my feelings, but he never once bullied me

like his sister, her friend, and his brother did.”

“What did his brother do?”

“He made me feel like I shouldn’t be there. Like,” she took a

breath, “if Kiefer wasn’t home and I sat down to dinner or breakfast, Tadgh would get up and leave.”

“That’s rude.”

“It is.”

“Or if I wanted to go for a swim in the pool and he was there,

he would leave and tell everyone to leave as well. One time,”

now she was remembering all of the ways Tadgh made her feel less, “Tadgh was asked to drive me home from a restaurant because Kiefer got called away for a meeting. Tadgh asked me what my favorite music was, and I said I loved pop music but hated country music. He found a country station and blasted it the whole way home.”

“Tadgh sounds like a jerk,” Egan grunted.

“He was.”

“At least he didn’t push you down though,” Egan offered, “like

the sister.”

“Yeah, she was a whole kind of mean I never want to expose

you to.” This was the hard part, “Egan, Kiefer wants me to go live with him again but if I do, it means you have to come to. I don’t want you to live with someone who would let other people hurt us, especially you. You’re too important. It’s why I asked Astra to run here with you. I don’t want Kiefer to know

about you.”

“How come?”

“Because if he knows about you, he’s going to make us stay and we’ll never be safe because of his family.”

“Oh.”

“When Mommy was in California, I saw Kiefer again.”

“Did you tell him? Did you tell him about the bad things his

sister and friend did?”

“I did.” She blinked as she recalled the scene yesterday, “I

told him yesterday about all the bad things they did to me.”

“What did he do?”

“He locked me in a room and then he left me alone with his

sister and brother. Mommy was scared of what they would

do to me, so I ran away again.”

“I’m glad you run away from them before they could hurt you again. If you told him they were mean, why did he leave you

with them?”

“I don’t know but it’s a good thing he did leave because it allowed me to get away and come back to you.” She took a breath and wiped her own tears off her cheeks, “now, I think it’s time for all of us to get a good night’s sleep. Tomorrow,

we’re going to go on an adventure. We’re going to move to a new town with Auntie Astra. We’ll get you set up in a new

school and you’ll make new friends.”

“But I like my old friends.”

“And they liked you too, Egan but it’s safest this way. Kiefer found me which means he is probably already at our old

house trying to find where we went.”

“What if he finds us again? Do we have to keep running away?”

“As long as Aoife and Laoise are part of his family and are going to be a risk to you, I will always run away from him.”

He sighed sadly and made a face, “Mom, you said you loved Kiefer. Do you still love him?”

“No.” She wasn’t lying at this point. “When I needed him the most, he was too busy with his family to come help me and because of it I lost your brother. There were people who paid

your dad to keep them safe and yet he couldn’t do it for me.
