“Cass.” The panic in her voice grows as she watches me, anguish slides over her face.
I rake my teeth over my lip as I prepare what I need to say.
She deserves to know. Fuck.
King watches me knowing what I’m about to say. We all agreed to never speak of this, she was to never know. With a subtle shake of his head, I know he’s warning me to keep it to myself just a little longer. But she deserves to know. It’s just another truth we’re hiding from her.
Dark eyes full of fear stare at me, I blink, forcing myself to look away from her. Fuck.
Nova sits up, moving slightly away from me as she waits. The others watch us as I grow the balls to tell her.
“Your”—I take a breath—“ father killed your mother not because she slept with someone else it’s because—”
“Cass.” King’s voice is a clear warning.
I look away hating myself from keeping something so fucking essential from her.
“Because why?” Nova’s voice cracks slightly, and I hate it. I goddamn hate that I put that there.
“Cass,” Jordy rasps. King shakes his head again, telling me to shut it.
Nova’s gaze flicks between us, waiting.
“She birthed a baby.”
A breath stutters from her as she murmurs, “What?” Nova’s lip wobbles as she stares at me. “What are you talking about, Cass?” she chokes out.
“He killed her because she birthed a baby with another man.”
“Did you all know this?” Her voice quivers as she looks at the others.
Bass nods, his own stoic gaze falling to his hands. Jordy looks away the pain in her voice too much.
She stares King down, waiting for his answer, not that she doesn't already know it.
“Princess, I'm sorry.” She glances over her shoulder, looking away from us. I watch as a tear slides down her cheek, the pain evident over her face,
“What man?”
“Carter.” I tell her.
“Where’s the baby?” she asks with a tremble in her voice.
King sighs. “You know them,” he says.
Nova’s mouth drops open, her brows furrow while she thinks.
Sniffing, she wipes her face. “It’s Miller isn’t it?” We all nod, a gut-wrenching sob leaves her body as she covers her mouth.
“But he.”
“Yeah, he’s a sick fucker,” Jordy says. He’s always been obsessed with Nova. Santonio was able to keep things between them platonic but I guess Miller couldn’t control his obsession any longer. Miller’s obsession goes beyond brotherly love, and I know he’ll stop at nothing until he has Nova in his grasp.
Nova slides off the bed and gathers a shirt from the floor. Sliding it over her body, she walks from the room leaving us all staring after her. We’re on her quickly jumping from the bed. We all follow her in time to see the bathroom door slam shut and hear the lock click into place.
“Nova?” King barks, slamming his fist against the wood.
“Go away,” she shouts.
