That’s the last sex we’ll have because I’m leaving you, Kace “ I said with a straight face instead of reciprocating Kace’s smile.“ Huh, “ Kace asked with a look of shock on his face.

A frown made its way to his face and that was when I saw it, Fear.I resisted the urge not to smile after I saw that he was scared to lose me. I didn’t mean it when I said I wanted to break up with him. I can never leave Kace, I love him to the moon and back.I tried keeping a straight face but ended up laughing hard. He looked so funny with that expression on his face. Seeing that I began to laugh he figured out that I was joking and rolled his eyes at me.“ Seriously? “ He asked and sighed as he glared at me.“ Seriously Babe, you should have seen how you looked just now, “ I said to him amidst laughter.“ You wanna have a good laugh huh?

Why did she end the call so abruptly? I was worried and so was Tess and her mom.I dialed Brandon’s number to ask him to track Eliana's phone so that we would know her location and go to check on her because I feared that she was in danger due to the way she ended the call abruptly.“ Hey Brandon, please can you track Eliana’s number?

TESSA’S POVSeeing Kace trying to communicate with his eyes to Agent Maynard and Brandon who just walked into the house with smiles on their faces was funny.I'm pretty sure that he was trying to tell them not to utter a word because Brandon was about to speak.Luckily Agent Maynard understood the message Kace was trying to pass across when he saw Kace's foster mom seated with my mom. He held Brandon’s hand and signaled for him not to talk.I also knew that deep in my mom's heart, if she was given the chance she'll shred my mother-in-law into tiny little pieces.

I quickly parked my car and went into my house, heading upstairs straight.When I got to the front of my bedroom door, I paused and let out a sharp exhale before turning the doorknob of the bedroom door and going in. Hardly had I closed the door when Tessa ran and crushed me in a bear hug.I hugged her back as the scent of her shampoo graced my nose, it was soothing and made me realize how much I was scared if she didn't remember anything.The thought she was carrying my child too made me nervous and glad at the same time. What would be her reaction if I told her? I thought to myself but pushed the thought aside.We pulled away from each and shared a passionate kiss. It was sho

I pulled up into Vin’s parking space after twenty minutes and rang the doorbell. The door opened immediately as though the person had been standing at the door and waiting for me.“ What's up? How is Tess doing? Any good news regarding her health? “ Brandon asked immediately after I got into the house.It was noon and really sunny outside, so when I got into the house, I loved it when the cold emitting from the air conditioning in the house touched my skin.
