“Don’t be sad for me.”
But how can I not be? Everything in me tells me he has lived a horrible life.
“You didn’t deserve to be abandoned. I can’t believe she did that.”
“Aurora. All she did was love and protect you.”
“By never protecting my brothers,” I scream.
“Read her letters. I have to go.”
Alone with the letters, I pick out a random one.
My dear boy,
Today Aurora’s first tooth came out. I never saw yours, but I’ve seen it on Cameron and Kieran. I can’t look at the boys without the pain. Forgive me.
One after the other, she recounts what I do, particularly while she always puts the four of us as a unit.
Good job, Mom. They might end up killing each other.
I pace around, minutes turning into hours.
How am I going to get through to Kieran? If I tell him, he will never just accept it. But Cameron might. At least I hope he’s the one to listen to reason.
I pick up the phone and call Cameron. “Hi.”
“Aurora? Are you all right? Tell me where you are?”
“Cameron, listen to me.”
“Where are you?”
“I am safe, but Hayden is coming to you. Do not harm him.”
“Tell me where you are?”
“I’ll tell you if you promise me.”
“Aurora, you don’t have to protect him.”
“He’s our half brother, Cam.”
He bursts into laughter and says, “And tomorrow, sis? What is he going to be tomorrow?”
“I will explain everything. I am coming home tomorrow. Don’t do anything stupid.”
I hang up and rush to find Chiara. I find her leaning against the window.
“What happened?”
“I just found out Hayden is not my uncle but my brother. I have to stop them from killing each other, but Cameron isn’t listening to me.”
“And Kieran?”
I call him and he picks up right away.
“Kieran, listen.”
