“I’m telling you, Genesis. If you stay with him, they will kill you. They let their own family beat you and cause the death of your unborn child. They knew it was happening. He cheated on you with the woman who caused your miscarriage. You can’t save his life if you are dead. Let’s leave and regroup and maybe we can find another way to get Egan, but I mean look at him,” she waved at the boy who was laughing uproariously at something Jerren said while Kiefer watched on indulgently.

“You are asking me to leave my son behind and to not fight for him? Everything we have done was for him.”

“Everything I did, was for you.” Astra negated Genesis’s statement quietly. “I love you, Genesis. Why can’t you see how much I love you?”

“I love you too.”

is the last time, we will ever see each other. I’ll never take another one of your calls again.”

“Why are you doing this?”

“Because I love you, but I always come second or in this case, third now. I was second to Kiefer. Then I was second to Egan. Now I’m third to the pair of them.”

“I cannot leave my son behind.”

“Its your death sentence,” Astra shook her head.

“If I’m going to die for anyone it is him,” she watched as Jerren, the larger of the three men, tossed her son high into the air, catching him easily and the way Egan was

“You cannot mean this.” She held the rental keys tight in her grip, tears streaming down her face. “You’re my best friend.”

“You don’t even get it, do you?” Astra looked upwards in frustration. “I don’t want to be your best friend. I wanted to be your partner and once again these assholes are disrupting us. I would move heaven and earth for you, but you don’t even notice.”
