“And he stopped you because he is trying to protect you. I still don’t understand the purpose of her visit.” Raven scrunches up her face. “She came alone. She told you she hasn’t seen my brother in months.”
“Dane doesn’t believe that?”
She cocks her brow. “He doesn’t?”
Shaking my head, I sigh, I wasn’t supposed to tell her that. “He is certain he could smell him on her.” Again, I had been too caught up in the ever seeping darkness to take notice of anything but my apparent half sister.
The world could have been imploding around me and I would have been oblivious.
She pauses to let my words sink in and then carries on as though I never mentioned him. “Just turning up to tell you your father allegedly had an affair, I call bullshit. Damien saw her like six months ago. She was in the city. It wouldn’t have been hard to find our location, even if my dipshit brother is helping her. So why has she waited all this time?”
“Your guess is as good as mine.”
*****
Dorothy is playing peek-a-boo with the boys. Their giggles turn into hysterical laughter as she pops up from under their high chairs. She had this amazing way with them and loved to make them laugh. Damien said she had a need to feel wanted. Something I understood too well.
She never talked about what happened to her to anyone other than Damien. If someone walked in when she was mid chatting, she would stop immediately. I was happy that she had a safe person.
There were times where I wondered if I would have turned out like her if I had been saved after my parents death rather than being forced into hell until I met Dane.
“Dottie.” Damien mutters. “Please eat your breakfast.”
“I’m just playing Daddy.”
“You can play as much as you want when you have eaten.”
She continues to pull faces at the twins as she settles on a chair at the table.
“How are you?” Damien asks while putting pancakes on Dorothy’s plate.
I nod, because if I let out how I really feel, I was scared that there would be no coming back.
When breakfast is done, Raven takes the kids to go get cleaned up and dressed for the day.

Next chapter??? Must know what happens!!...
These new chapters ate shorter than paragraphs. Makes reading this story quite annoying at the moment...
So... after 546 now what? I know this cannot just be the end of the story? So when is there a new chapter? I've literally read this in 4 days!...
Hi, I’m usually a silent reader, and first of all, I love the story, but is it possible to avoid the blue texts? Cuz a lot of us are missing a lot of the story due to the texts not loading. I am missing a lot no matter have many times I try to reload. If not, that’s okay as well. Thank you for the amazing entertainment and content...
Loving this story! Can’t wait for you to add more 😁...
Is it just me or are the blue text not loading and every other time I try the captcha it pops up a new tab? Other than that live the story...

I love the way you are continuing the story. It's easy to follow, easy to pause, and easy to get back on track with. Me having three little children, it's hard to find "me time" but when I do I get caught up with this book. I love it!!!!...
