LolaI didn’t know what to do.I simply didn’t know what to do.That night I stayed up in my apartment, in shock. I didn’t even know how to react to Sara. She was my closest friend, but I knew that some part of me blamed her for allowing Macy to be taken away. But however true that might be, I knew that it wasn’t Sara’s fault, wasn’t Sebastien’s, either. He stood guard all night while we sat on the sofa together, and I frantically wondered what to do.“I’m gonna help you, sweetheart,” said Sara, and I believed her. But as the hours dragged on, I realized I was exhausted, stressed and tired.“Macy,” I said, as if to no one. “Where are you?”I burst into tears, and that night I cried myself to sleep in Sara’s arms.In the morning, I woke up. I checked the clock: it was just after seven. I cursed myself for sleeping while my own daughter was out there somewhere, in the hands of that creep. I wanted to hope that Luca wouldn’t harm her, that he’d be true to his word and keep her safe for t

chapter 49

Alex“Sun’s coming up,”said a voice beside me.I looked up, and put down my glass.The bar was emptying out, and gradually the patrons who’d been partying into the early hours of the morning had finally made their way home. But I was still here: I’d arrived an hour ago, after pacing the streets, and had been nursing a Manhattan at an upstairs table.“How did you find me here?” I said.“I asked where Alex Lowe goes to drink,” said my father. He stood, looking rather helpless and sad. His face had a rounded, smooth quality that mine didn’t, and if you cleaned him up a bit, he’d look pretty young for his age. He had to be almost seventy. “You’re quite famous, you know,” he added.“And how long,” I said, leaning over the table, “did it take you to find that suit to put on?”“Not long,” said Max. “Do you mind if I sit down?”“What is this?” I said. “An ambush? Did Lola send you here?”“No,” said my dad. “And if you don’t mind me saying so, you were rather too harsh on her. Not her fault tha

chapter 50

LolaI was out-of-my mind scared now. And the worst part was that I was alone. I couldn’t have asked Zeke to come out here by himself. And plus, I had a feeling about the warehouse in Red Hook. Something about that place I knew well, the wide, open industrial spaces with strange, bleak views of dockyard and the city beyond. Somehow I knew that Macy would be here, at this one.What I didn’t know was where exactly, or where Luca was keeping her. The address:110 Petersen Ave, was an enormous old factory that had been converted into a warehouse. I knew I’d gotten there when the cab passed by an old, red-brick wall, and I saw the place behind a set of gates, wrought-iron with1—1—0carved above them.“Anywhere here’s fine,” I said, and got out. It was still drizzling a little, and even from here, I could hear the rain tapping on the roof of the warehouse. I went to the gate, and discovered it was unlocked. I was dressed in a hoodie and a baseball cap I’d borrowed from Sebastien, but even so,

Alex“Well, look who’s come to join us,” said Luca. “And just in the nick of time, too.” He whirled, taking Macy with him, and now the gun was trained on Alex. “Have you brought me my money, ‘Lex?”“You know how this thing goes,” I replied. I held up the dark satchel on my arm. “I’ve got it right here. But you don’t get to look at a cent until that little girl’s standing here next to me.”“Take me instead,” said Lola. My eyes flashed towards her, and they met. And for a sudden moment, I realized that I’d come back because it was the right thing to do, but also because I loved her. I loved Lola Ryder, whatever that meant, and I’d do anything to keep her and the tiny, dark-haired girl in Luca’s grasp safe.“I don’t think you’re in any position to keep me waiting, ‘Lex,” said Luca. “After all, I’m the one who’s holding the gun.”“You might be holding the gun,” I said, playing for time. “But I’ll wager you’re not the best shot with it.”“I don’t need it foryou,” said Luca, and held the gu

LolaShewasbrave,wasmy little girl. Brave from beginning to end. All the nurses said so.“You’ve been a pleasure to take care of,” smiled the nurse, as she kneeled down and put the colorful plaster on the tiny cut on Macy’s head.“Is my mommy okay?” she said.“Well, she looks okay to me,” said the nurse, standing up and smiling at me. “Cute kid,” she said.“Is that it?” I said. “Nothing else?”“She’s probably going to have a few nightmares,” said the pediatrician. “Who wouldn’t after that?”“Well, nightmares are fine. We can cope with nightmares.”“If there’s anything either of you find it hard to cope with,” said the doctor. “You can call me. And I’ll give you something light to sleep later.”“I think we need it,” I said.“Can I sleep in your bed tonight, mommy?” said Macy, looking up at me. I brushed her hair off her face. My daughter. The most resilient little girl in the world.“You’re sleeping in my bed every night for a week,” I said sternly. “No arguments.”The children’s ward

AlexI practically left her off balance when I leaped from the shower and kissed Lola. But then, as I cradled her, with nothing but a towel around my waist, she put a hand knowingly to her lips. And then I remembered that Macy was fast asleep.“It’s three walls of soundproofed insulation,” I said.“I still want to be quiet,” Lola said, playfully.I grinned and wrapped my arms around her head as I kissed her. In turn, she put her arms around me, and the feeling of the soft linen material of her shirt as it pressed against my naked back was ecstasy. In the low light of my bedroom, I picked her up easily, and span her as we kissed, making her a little dizzy. By the time I threw her onto the bed, cushioning her fall with my arms, I knew that Lola was my plaything. Not anxious, not nervous now, just in need of the comfort I could give her. In need of the desire and delight which I gave her. And for me? Lola tended to my body, which had been broken but was making a wonderful recovery.She pu

chapter 54 Epilogue

LolaThree months later,ona Sunday in Manhattan, while the Summer was ending and the trees in Central Park had begun to go red and golden brown, the day came.I was late, as my father and I sped down 5thAvenue. My dad had never been to New York before, though my mom had.“Look atthat,” he said. And I turned around, watching the Flatiron building in the distance.“You having fun there, Dad?” I said. “Anything important to do today?”He turned around, and blushed. “I’m sorry, sweetheart. It’s just…it’s all so much to take in.”And it was. There were so many preparations to make that I didn’t know where to begin. It had all seemed so easy when the wedding was fake. I’d breezed through the decisions enjoying myself. But this time had been hectic.It was worth it, though. Worth it for this moment, to have my dad and my mom by my side.When we pulled up at St. Thomas’s, I saw that Sara was waiting for me. I got out of the car, my dad holding me by the hand.“You look a million dollars,” she

chapter 1

“You’re fired, Manila.”I stare at my boss Mark for a solid minute. I cannot have heard him right. He’s sitting there watching me, waiting for a reaction. “Sorry?” I ask, after a long, deafening silence.He reaches across the table to pat my hand. “It’s nothing personal. It’s just, you know, you’ve been gone for so long…”“I had maternity leave!” I shove my chair back, leaping to my feet. “I am taking care of two newborns. Twins! I’m doing it all by myself –”“Well, that was your choice,” he points out.I ball up my fists at my sides. “How is that any different from Rebecca? Or Marcy, or Tamara?” I list every woman in this office with kids of her own. Marcy took an extra month of maternity leave last year after a complication with her pregnancy led to an emergency C-section. Tamara works from home Mondays and Fridays to have extra time with her three kids after her good-for-nothing husband walked out on her.

chapter 2

It’s been two weeks. Two weeks of panic, fear, worry. I crouch beside the crib watching Luca and Lucie sleep. Luca sleeps with his thumb in his mouth, and Lucie sleeps with her hand tangled in Luca’s hair. They’ve both already got half a head of jet-black hair, just like mine but wavier. It’s funny, they look so similar, but already in just five months they’re developing their own personalities. Lucie is the clingy one – she cries anytime Luca is out of her sight, and she won’t fall asleep unless I’m holding her. Luca is more independent, though he still relies on his sister to show him how to do everything, like pick up a rattle or pull my hair.I didn’t expect these guys. When I finally decided, a little over a year ago, to go to the clinic on my own, I was expecting one baby. One perfect baby, from whomever my mystery donor was.I didn’t want to pick the father of my children out of a photo book – that just felt too weird, like shopping for an internet bride. I asked the nurses to
