“Not yet,” Brantley says.
“Okay what?” Callie murmurs, knowing she’s been left in the dark.
“You know how you said you always wanted a brother?” Bishop says to Savannah.
“Yeah.” She glances at me and I give her a soft smile.
“You have three.”
Bishop tips his head toward Ethan and Brantley.
Savannah’s face brightens and my jaw drops.
“Turns out my mother slept with Lorenzo twice.” Bishop kisses the side of Callie’s head, smiling. Finally she’s in on the secret.
“Wait, so you're all ...” She points between the boys and Savannah.
“Yep,” Ethan says, smiling.
Brantley slaps his back.
“I can’t believe they kept this from us,” Ethan murmurs.
“Our mother,” Brantley adds.
“Why did she let ...” The pain on Ethan’s face rips me open. I knew he wasn’t a part of this world, and this news would come as a huge shock to him.
I knew that Ethan and Brantley were forced into foster care, that’s how Ethan met Luna, but knowing that their mother was one and the same and she didn’t keep them but kept Bishop ...
“This might explain some things,” I say, pulling the envelope from my pocket and handing it to Ethan.
“What is this?” He holds it up.
Bishop and Brantley both frown.
Bishop glares over at me, silently demanding where I got it.
“I found it in your father’s things. I was trying to find evidence to show Savannah how little she knew about her father.”
“You opened it?” Brantley plunges for me, sending me flying back.
Collecting myself, I shove Brantley back.
“It was already open. I barely scanned it, but I saw the words ‘sons’ and had to find out what it meant.”
“He wanted to kill us?” Ethan reads aloud.
“What?” Bishop asks.
“Pasquale demanded Mother get rid of us or he’d kill us. He made her choose.”
Ethan swallows, placing the letter back in the envelope.
“I can’t read the rest.”
He hands it to Bishop, who pockets it, and I know he will read it later.
“Well, I should go.” Brantley hitches his thumb over his shoulder.
