His expression hardened.
“Don’t be dramatic,” he snapped. “You have no job. No money. Three infants. My lawyers will bury you.”
I looked at Celeste, then at the bag, then back at him. “Is that what your lawyers told you?”
His jaw tightened.
I said nothing more. I only reached for my phone after they left and called my parents.
My mother answered on the first ring.
I heard my own voice break. “I chose wrong. You were right about him.”
There was silence.
Then my father’s calm voice came on. “Are the babies safe?”
“Yes.”
“Then cry tonight,” he said. “Tomorrow, we work.”
Adrian thought I had surrendered.
He had no idea who my parents really were. (I can tell you’re all eager to find out what happens next, so if you’d like me to continue, LIKE this post and drop a “YES” in the comments below!)
