When I got there, the door was half–open, and I saw her. Angela was on the floor, limp, with Giulia kneeling beside her, cradling her head. My heart dropped into my stomach.

I rushed in, dropping to my knees and pulling her into my arms.

“Angela? Angle, come on…” Her eyes were closed, her breathing shallow–she was out cold. I held her tight, brushing her dark hair

My mind was spinning.

Was this an accident? Some random lunatic?

Or was it planned? Christopher’s name flashed though my head–hd always wanted Angela, obsessed over her, but hurting her?

That wasn’t his style, He’d rather charm her than break her.

Blonde…

A cold realization hit me, and my jaw clenched. I’d told her years ago to stay the hell out of our lives. If it was her if she’d dared touch Angela again I’d make sure she regretted it.

But before she could answer, Aria wailed louder, clinging to my leg. “Not I wanna go with Mommy!”

Ethan didn’t say anything, just tightened his grip on Angela’s hand, his jaw set like he wasn’t letting go either.

“Sean, they won’t stay,” Victoria said, her voice soft but firm. “They need to be with her.”

I cursed under my breath–this wasn’t the first time they’d seen her hurt, and I’d promised Ethan after the last mess that I’d keep
