“Don’t let them do it, Joey. Please don’t,” Sailor whispers.

Keir looks at her but doesn’t listen.

Liar.

I never thought I would think that of my wife.

A liar.

What else has she hidden from me?

A child.

That’s not a small feat to hide either.

“Give me five with her.”

“That’s all you’ll get,” Keir says, and Sailor stands up to yell at him.

I get moving instantly, not a moment to waste as I throw the door open with a bang, my eyes scanning the room for Adora. I don’t find her on the dance floor with Chanel, so I stalk over to Chanel to ask her where she is. Her eyes widen as she takes in my crazed expression.

“Where did she go?”

“Outside. A man wanted to talk to her.” She nods to the door we came in earlier, her brow furrowing. I go straight outside to find her getting into a car. This is the part where I should raise my gun, but my arms are stuck to my sides as I watch her slide in. She looks back, half in and half out of the car.

“I’m sorry.” She mouths the words to me as she closes herself inside, and I watch in shock as the car drives off. Leaving me standing there confused, hurt, and furious. Looking down on the ground, I find her ring on the sidewalk and my chest clenches. Picking it up, I slide it onto my pinkie finger as the door opens and Keir steps out.

“Where is she?” he asks, looking up and down the street.

“Gone,” I tell him, staring at the ring on my finger.

“You let her go?”

“I did.”

“You know you’ll have to find her now and kill them both.”

I swallow hard, nodding. “I do.”

“Sooner rather than later, Joey.”

The ‘Nice’ Brother

We hear betrayal has a middle name, and it starts with A for Adora.

Will her husband do what’s asked of him?

Which love will win?

The one born of family…

… or the one of wife?
