“Mamas,” Bass says, Nova turns her head toward him.

Jordy hands her the birth certificate paper. Nova glances, a frown appearing on her face as she reads it over.

“I-I don’t understand,” she says.

Sighing, I run my hand across my face, and taking her hand in mine, I glance up at her.

“Nova, I think Carter may know your real father, and these people, whoever they are I’m not sure.”

“Was he trying to find them? Take me back to them?” she asks.

“I don’t know. Sorry, Nova.”

“B-but he tied me to a chair,” she says, frowning.

“I know and I think it was his way of letting Santonio know he was willing to do anything,” I say, rubbing my thumb in gentle strokes across her palm,

“I’m so confused, so my brother, was he even my brother? What about Miller?” She gnaws on her bottom lip. Swallowing hard, I watch as she tries to piece together this fucked up puzzle because even I can’t figure it out. If Nathan wasn’t Nova’s real brother then why was he so protective of her and where did he know her from? And why did Carter stick around all this time if he knew where she belonged? And why take orders from Santonio? He could have taken Nova years ago and run.

“Thompson?” Nova whispers.

“I-is, that my real name?” Her gaze finds mine and I nod.

“I think so, yeah.” Gnawing on her bottom lip, she stares at the paper, willing it to give her answers.

“So is Miller really my brother?” She questions.

“Shit.” I murmur.

I guess he isn’t, Is he?

“Wait.” Bass breathes.

“I think I know why Carter wanted Nova.”

“Why?” Jordy asks.

“He was willing to sell her back to my parents.”

Fuck, he’s right. Carter was going to give Nova to them, but then why did he say he was going to kill her? It didn’t make sense.

Nothing makes sense, even this note doesn’t tell us anything about the person who wrote it.

“We’ll figure this out, baby girl,” Jordy says, rubbing her arm.

“Jesus fucking Christ, it was right in front of us,” Cass growls.

“What?” I snap.

“Nova’s stalker,” Cass says.

Clenching his fist by his side, we all hear a car door slam just as Cass breathes.

“Grant, it’s fucking Grant.”

My heart dropswhen Cass tells us it’s Grant that he suspects as the person who's been obsessed with me. This entire time it was him? God, this is all so damn confusing. Did I ever do anything to make him think of me that way? I was always friendly, but was I too friendly?

Bass goes to get the door, and shouts, “Motherfucker.”
