All Chapters of Gravity: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

The man in front of me claimed to be my brother. I could see it in his eyes but I couldn’t believe it. There had to be some sort of mistake somewhere.“Malachi.” He was already behind me, his eyes boring into the older man’s own.“So nice to see you again, Malachi.”“Franklin.” Malachi made no move to invite them in and I stood next to my father, shoulder to shoulder, blocking their entry. I sensed Malachi’s confusion as he looked at the younger man.“Where are your manners? At least invite your father and son in for some refreshments.” I looked at the older man again. I always thought that Malachi’s father was dead; it was an assumption I had made because nobody ever spoke of him.“My son?” Amusement reached Malachi’s eyes.“I present to you Alexander Reyan Miller. His mother was Alexandra Miller.” I saw the instant recognition hit Malachi’s eyes and I knew then that Franklin was telling the truth. This man was my brother, my older brother.“That’s impossible.” Malachi’s words were s

Adara was already in bed when I finished putting Christian to sleep on his mattress on the floor. She smiled sadly as I walked in and closed the door. She turned on her side as I slid into bed next to her.“What did Malachi mean when he said you know why?”My hand cradled her stomach and I thought about it for a few seconds. Malachi was a proud man but nothing that had happened to him was his fault and the one secret that he wasn’t aware I knew would remain safe. I’d never tell anybody that Franklin had raped him as a boy.“Franklin would tie Malachi to a tree, the one I cut down, especially when it snowed. He left him there for hours until Georgina came home and found him, that was before he could heal. His training sessions consisted of Malachi’s hands tied behind his back and Franklin with a baseball bat. Broken arms and ribs, so many times. He was cruel, Adara. He beat Malachi with a whip when he got home late and one night, he tried his best to kill him.”“How can a father do som

Malachi had refused any of us to lift a finger towards dinner for Franklin and Alexander and instead had gotten take-out Chinese. I wasn’t about to let Adara cook either because she wasn’t gaining enough weight and she was still paler than she should be.Franklin and Alexander’s car stopped in the driveway exactly two minutes before seven and we listened to the car doors close. The doorbell rang promptly at seven and I sighed as I stood up and walked to the front door.‘Showtime,’ I thought to myself and opened the door for them.“Hello, Kiran.” Franklin didn’t bother to greet me and just stepped past me into the house.“Hi Alexander.”“I see Karani just about changed everything in this house.” It was more of a sneer than a statement from Franklin and I ignored it.I led them through to the formal dining area and I had to hide my smile as Franklin looked at all the take-out boxes in the center of the table. They were not important enough to prepare a feast for.“Franklin … Alexander.”

Malachi sat behind his desk and looked at the few pens that still remained on the floor. The truth had been staring at him for two days now and it was time to act. Malachi hated betrayal, more than anything else in this world.Karani’s message had never been about Juniper. ‘Beware the wolf in sheep’s clothing.’ Her message had been about Mia. Mia was the wolf in sheep’s clothing. Mia was the snake, the one who had planned this and betrayed him from the beginning.Malachi’s fists clenched and unclenched. Anger was bubbling up in him. He had walked right into her trap, with open eyes, even though he’d questioned her motives. He needed answers, answers only Mia could give.Malachi got into his Navigator and drove down the dirt road. He stopped before turning onto Lowell Canyon Drive and let the car idle. He pulled out his phone and dialed Mia’s number, breathing in deeply as he listened to it ring.“Hello ,Malachi.” Her voice was friendly, with no hint of the betrayer she was.“Mia. Are

I left Malachi’s room seconds after he walked into the bathroom. I had to act quickly. I rapped my knuckles on James' door once and waited for him to open it.“It’s late ..” The look on my face forced his silence.“We need to go, now.” James nodded and closed his door.Once inside my own room I changed into jeans and sneakers and kissed a sleeping Adara on her cheek. I sent her a text so she wouldn’t worry when she woke up and found me gone. James was already waiting for me in the garage when I went downstairs.“Want to tell me what’s going on?”I was already in the Jeep and started reversing as he quickly closed his door. “He just said that he killed her at the den.”“Who killed who at the den?” James asked me sternly.“Malachi did.”“What? Why? Where’s Malachi?”“I don’t know everything. Malachi had blood on him, completely out of it. I think he’s finally lost his mind.”The rest of the ride to the den was bathed in silence as we bumped along the dirt roads. The air between us was t
