  Chapter Two When they walked in the door, her phone started going off again like it did most days when they got home. One or more of her siblings would be calling to try and understand how she was now the one who would receive the most from the payouts, and then she would go and ignore her parent's funerals. Deanna was tired of talking in circles with them. She knew what the money was really for. It was for her silence. Her father, or the person she had thought was her father, had set up the meeting with David and had demanded he stop and release the girls he was holding. Calling that meeting had caused his and his wife’s deaths. He had planned it out, so it did.Deanna hadn’t realized how much the man had planned out in advance. Somehow he knew that Deanna would question where they were. He also assumed that

 The children went to bed easily now that they had a system. Henry had been moved upstairs to his new bedroom while the baby still slept in the portable crib in their bedroom. Michelle woke up a few times a night to have a bottle. Deanna cleaned up the kitchen as Max looked at the box of opened letters.He had to guess there were over a few thousand dollars sitting in another bin. He was amazed, but he was trying to think about what David was doing right now. The man only worked for his own interest. To bombard his oldest daughter with letters like this was very much in his plan. He shook his head and wondered if they would ever get the chance to understand the man that causes so much pain.Max hoped Deanna would finish doing whatever she was doing and quickly. They both needed to shower and then relax before bed. He had a few ideas on how to find that relaxation. He walked back to see

  Though they did wake up and start moving about an hour later, he saw that she was dragging with the relaxation that was still steeped in her muscles, but she wouldn’t finish and go to bed until everything she wanted to get done was almost completely done. He helped her move through the house and pick things up and put everything away. With the dishwasher now going and the clothes moved to the dryer again. She was almost ready to retire for the night.“Michelle will want a bottle in about fifteen minutes.” She said softly to him. He went and made it, so he was ready to feed and change the baby girl. While he did that, he saw that Deanna had pulled out clothes for both of the kids and laid them out for the next day. Max began to wonder how he never noticed all the small things she did to make sure the mornings ran smoothly.He looked at

  The next few days were basically a repeat of the days previously before. When they got home, there would be a mail truck waiting with more bins each time. Every day for nearly a week. Thousands of letters all for David but addressed to her. Money in nearly every one of them. By the time they had gone through them all, there were fifteen thousand dollars in the other bin that they had put the money in.“This is ridiculous,” Deanna said as she looked at it. “First off, we can’t keep it in here or anywhere in the house.”“Well, what should we do with it?” Max asked as he moved through the house after he had placed Henry upstairs in his bed for the night. She had done the same with Michelle a few minutes before. “Did you talk with the lawyer?”“I did, and all he could say w

  It was three days later the news of the custody came through. The social worker they had been working with had come to check on everything in the house and the general care of the two small children. Deanna had already known that her father, the one she had thought was her father at least, had paved the way for her to be able to adopt Henry. His guardianship was never truly in question. Michelle was another story, and Deanna’s siblings had all shown some interest in being her guardian only because of the amount of money that the newborn was set to inherit. Luckily for Max and Deanna, the social worker had been able to see through their fake concern for the small baby girl.“Max, did someone call you?” Deanna asked as she walked into his office as he was holding his later after hours while she had her last class for the night. Though they now had the two cars,

  Max could see she was starting to hate when they were going home. She knew what was waiting for them when they did arrive. The boxes would be stacked at the front door and piled high. She was starting to hate everything about those hours that she would have to open the letters to get what was inside and then throwing the letters into a box for the police to go through. He thought of something that might make her ease a bit.When they loaded up the car, he turned on the music and started driving. She had closed her eyes and laid her head back, so Deanna had no idea they were headed to somewhere other than their house. About ten minutes into the drive, which would be nearing their house, she opened her eyes and saw that they were nowhere near it. She looked at Max with a confused look on her face.“I thought we were going home?” Deanna said so

  The two got the kids settled for the time being with his parents and assured Henry that they would be back soon, and everything was okay. Max’s father took him out back to the yard where he had put up the playscape that he had told Henry he would be getting while he was in the hospital.“I told you I would get it.” Max’s father told all of them as he smiled. “Now, maybe there will be some joy in this house when it comes to children.”“Thanks, Dad,” Max said with a smile as he took hold of Deanna’s hand and led her out of the house and to the car. “We will only be gone for an hour or two. You don’t have to worry.”“I wasn’t worried,” Deanna said softly.“My love, you are the worst liar on the planet.” He

  Max looked at Deanna as they enjoyed the last of the day at the park down the road from his parent's house. She seemed more relaxed than she had been in the past few days. He wanted to keep her that way. He needed to keep her that way, but he didn’t know how to. That was an underlying thing he wanted to give her, that sense of peace to be able to go through her days without thinking all the time about the things that lay ahead. It all came back to those damn letters that her brother was having sent to her. There had to be something he could do to get them to stop coming.The more he thought about it, the more he wanted to go and have a little chat with David himself though he knew that would end badly for the both of them. There had to be a way around the federal laws and have them go somewhere else. He then had an idea, but it wasn’t for right now. He wanted the re

  When they got to the house, all Deanna wanted to do was get the kids and go home. She was now even more on edge than before, and Max was left behind her shaking his head. It seemed the more he wanted to give her some peace, it was the opposite that happened. Though the advice that Tami had given her was something she did need to hear, it was hard not to play along with David’s game as they were still at the beginning of this whole mess.Max wanted to wrap her up and put her somewhere where this couldn’t touch her anymore. It was going to drain her in ways she didn’t even know, and he knew what would happen then. Nothing he could do would save them from the outcome no matter how hard he tried. He looked at her as she helped his mom pack up Michelle, and Henry was walking as he pushed the big truck he knew his father had got for him. Max knew if everything conti
