“I need to know my family is safe. That we don't have any issues.”
“You and your family are safe,” Nicco says, and King nods.
“Good, glad we have an understanding,” King says.
The corner of Nicco’s mouth lifts, and taking a step forward his hand lands on King’s shoulder, squeezing it with a little force before he leans in and whispers, “Don’t underestimate what I’ll do if you boys become a problem.”
“We won't,” King tells him.
“The commissioner, what about him?” Jordy says.
Nicco sighs. “Commissioner Jackson has somehow slipped from our radar, but we’ll find him,” he promises.
“Did Leonard kill my father?” Nova asks.
I nod, she bites her bottom lip holding back the tears as she accepts what my father did.
“I’m sorry, mamas.” I look at her with a somber expression, she shrugs barely holding it together, but I know she’s fighting it all inside her head.
“Your father was on my radar, Miss Cohen,” Nicco states.
“What do you mean?” I ask him, rubbing Nova’s arms while she listens to what he has to say.
“Your father bought you, Nova. He wasn’t the man you thought he was, he was hiding something a lot darker than you could ever imagine.”
The storage container.
“It’s been searched and destroyed,” Nicco states as if reading my mind.
“W-why would you do that? I’ll never have any answers,” Nova murmurs, holding her arms across her chest.
“Nova, you didn't want to see what your father had in there, trust me. It’s for the best you didn't,” Nicco says grimly.
“I guess I’ll never know who I really am?” she says. Cass looks to King and then they both look to Jacob. What the fuck is with the weird looks?
“I know who you are, little one?” Jacob says, stepping forward. Nova frowns, confusion marring her features.
“We didn't get time to fill you in, pup.” Cass smiles.
“What are you talking about?” Nova questions.
“Thompson,” Jacob says. She nods and finally it all sinks in.
The last name on the certificate, it’s a connection to her other life.
“You have a sister, Elle,” Jacob states.
“I-I have a sister?” Nova smiles. Jacob nods.
“She’s my sister-in-law.” Nova’s eyes widen along with mine.
“She lives in a small town called Pleasant Grove with her husband Jensen, my twin brother.”
Holy fuck.
“She, like you never knew she had a sister. Her parents died when she was young, she was raised by her grandmother. You shared a father, your mother was ill and the only way she thought to save you was to give you up. She didn't want to ruin your father’s already made family, but she had no idea she’d sold you into a trafficking ring.”
“She sold me?” Nova whispers. Jacob nods, giving her a sad smile.
