"How can you think that," my heart drops as the depth of his accusation seeps into my bones and the last of my righteous anger drains from my body. "I would never..." my heart is breaking, what is left of it falling into a thousand pieces. "Why would you...?"

"Because you're jealous," my husband says as he continues to spew his accusations. "Evelyn told me everything. She even showed me the messages you sent, threatening her if she came near me or our son. Jayson told me you made him play outside at night, and that the kidnappers almost got him too if Evelyn hadn't saved him."

I should be mad. I deserve to be mad.

But at hearing Michael's lack of faith in me, the last of my resolve evaporates like mist.

And now my son is lying to protect her as well, making up stories to defend Evelyn.

"I never said or did any of those things," my voice deepens, exhaustion settling into my bones. "I'd never put Jayson at risk. We were outside playing because he demanded we go out and then h

  • Divorced But Desired by the Mafia King   Chapter 178

    [Livy]Squeezing my eyes shut, I hold on tight to my mushroom stuffy, and wait for the feeling of the bush hitting my body to catch my fall.But it never happens. One of the bad men grab my ankle, barely holding me by my right ankle. His fat face is red as he squeezes and shouts, "You're a tricky little brat, aren't you." "Let me go!" I scream as loudly as I can, kicking with my other foot aiming for his wrist. Pulling me up higher, he slaps me hard, making me cry. I hate that I'm crying in front of this terrible man. My face burns, and my heart is beating so hard that I can't think. What was it that my uncle taught me about escaping people? Oh yeah, I remember.Letting myself fall limp, I close my eyes and pretend to play dead again."Good, now you'll sleep," he laughs as he grabs my second ankle and tosses me onto the bed."Hey Matt," his radio hisses, "We heard a scream. Is everything okay, OVER.""Yeah, man, the little bitch was playing possum, but I've knocked her out. OVER."

  • Divorced But Desired by the Mafia King   Chapter 177

    [Livy]The light from the hallway is bright orange against my closed eyelids as the bad men enter my room. It's hard playing dead when your heart is beating so fast your chest might burst. Jessica and her bad friends want to steal me away, she even said so. The way she laughed was so awful. She was never a nice girl. She was always just playing pretend.I want to open my eyes to see who is there, to see how many people there are, but if I do that they'll know I'm pretending. I need them to think I'm still asleep if I'm going to get away. I need to trick them before they can trick my family. Because if I let them, they are going to steal me away and hide me from my aunt and uncle, and then make me disappear forever.They want to use me to trick my family. They want us all to die.

  • Divorced But Desired by the Mafia King   Chapter 176

    [Livy]“I was looking for you,” It’s not exactly a lie, but it isn’t exactly true either. "You were gone for so long and I was hungry." Looking around I ask, “Where’s Sylvie? She’s supposed to be making dinner.” I need to play pretend with her, so she doesn't realize I know she’s bad. I’m so nervous I feel like I might throw up, but I smile even bigger, that smile I give people to convince them that everything is okay when really it isn’t. "Sylvie who?" Jessica scrunches her nose like she's smelled something bad as she scans the room and sees the puddle of blood. Swearing, she shoos me away from it, not realizing I've already seen it. "My nanny," I remind her. "Remember, you offered her money to go away. She was supposed to keep you from breaking rules. She wanted me to eat my broccoli"Jessica bristles at my words. "You don't need to eat her stupid broccoli," she snaps. "We have snacks, lots of snacks you ungrateful little...." She's scarring me. Her face is twisted and red and

  • Divorced But Desired by the Mafia King   Chapter 175

    [Livy]I'm worried about Mama. I know she's off to do dangerous work. She thinks I don't know but I do. I've seen her and Uncle Hunter fighting in the gym so she can get tough. But she's hurting herself. It was so scary when the doctors had to come and make sure she was okay. I don't like the sound of the machines--they hurt my ears and they make me remember things. Like the smell of a hospital and my uncle crying. I don't remember my real mom anymore. I only remember there was something scary that happened, and pain. And then my mommy in the hospital. Uncle took me to his home and then my life was different. But now I have Mama. And Uncle, when he is done playing dressup. Jessica is home tonight. She hasn't lived here in AGES. She's so busy being a fancy model. But tonight she said she wants to play with me and she even gave me this great mushroom stuffy. And she promised to watch my mushroom show. And she said we could eat lots of candy after dinner. She even brought soda. She hi

    [Hunter–just moments before the party]Looking up at my best friends I ask the next most obvious question. “Where is she now?” Now that we know the truth, we can't leave her unattended. We need to know where she is at all times. "We put a tracker on her vehicle when we started to suspect her," Katelyn explains, taking back the tablet for a moment to bring up a map and show it to us. "We didn't want to follow her too closely, not yet, not without proof," she adds, "According to our records, she's been at her modeling agency for about 3 hours."That doesn't seem unusual for her, considering she's a high-end model. Even so, I ask, "Does she have any gigs lined up that would require heavy makeup?" "I looked into that too," Kate smirks, proud of her own foresight. "She has nothing on the roster for tonight, although I did find something interesting," Katelyn pulls up another screen, this time of a work roster. "Do you recognize this name?" "Miss Bluebird," I shake my head. "Should I re

    [Hunter–Earlier that evening, before the gala]I need try to play this off, to keep pretending, but Livy has already seen through it, and she’s calling me on it. She’s just as fierce as Vanessa and I can’t help but smile thinking about how similar they are becoming to one another. “Miss Grant,” I address her formally, “I know that you miss your uncle, and that you don’t like your auntie to be sad, but I can’t be the person you think I am.” Her eyes are quivering with tears and I feel like an even bigger jerk as she asks, “Why?”“Because bad guys would hurt you if your uncle were alive. They would try to hurt your Mama Addison too. I’m here to protect her because he can’t be here. Do you understand?” She nods, wiping her tear. “Okay. I understand. We need to keep playing pretend. I’ll keep your secret.”Livy then does something she hasn’t done for a very long time, not since Vanessa came into our lives and my sweet niece started speaking again. She drops her head, staring at her fee
