Chapter 70: Claire’s POV

I felt a wave of guilt as Leo pulled the pregnancy test out of the wrapper and read the results. I thought to lie and say it was Elena’s but there was no sense in dragging her down with me. I’d have to face the reaction he had towards my actions. I lower my head in shame as I wait to be scolded for being so careless. This wasn’t the right time for us to have a baby. With one attacker at large and the mastermind behind it all still living freely - I was putting myself and another child in danger.I’m surprised when I see Leo smiling and hear his response as I apologize. Leo was excited for a child - our child. He suggests keeping our pregnancy private until we find out who’s been after me and I agree without a second thought. “Can we tell Jasmine?” I didn’t like hiding things from her.“Yes. And I have some news I want to share tonight afterwards. Are you ready to get back to dinner?” I nod and Leo opens the door and wraps his arm around my waist in excitement as we return.“Is every

Chapter 71: Matthew’s POV

Even from this confined space, I could tell that it was morning. The tiny sliver of the window was able to let in just enough light to give confirmation. I wish I could say that I’ve slept but the anticipation of my release had a restless effect on me. I was appointed a court proceeding at two o’clock to be acquitted of the crimes committed against me. I would be a free man. I’d be able to hug Starla and be there for the birth of our child and I’d be there to support my sister and show her that I’m able to be the brother she’s always believed in - the brother she deserves.I heard the prison guards make their rounds and administer breakfast and I’m met with a guard who’s beckoned me to the door. I walk over to listen to them as I grab my tray.“The warden says that you’ll be out right after your motion is filed. Make sure to collect any and all of your belongings prior to court.”“Yes sir.”“Another thing, I will be allowing you one call to a loved one prior to entering the courtroom.

Chapter 72: Claire’s POV

I get up quickly and hurry to get dress myself. Leo was in his office which happens to be the next room over. I grab my bag and as I run towards the door, I meant with Leo. The confusion on his face is evident.“Is something wrong Claire?” I feel guilty as I see his facial expression change to worry.“Matthew is at the courthouse downtown. He’s being released today and asked that I pick him up. I have to go get him some clothes!” I felt panicked but in a good way. Matthew would be free soon and after all the work he’s done to become a better person - I didn’t want to let him down.“Okay. I’m not busy so I’ll go with you. They have a few shops downtown that we can stop at.” I nod in agreement and we descend the stairs quickly. “Oh wait! I madeSome pecan sandies earlier this morning! I need to bring them with me.” I hurry to the kitchen and am met with Elena before I enter who holds the sandies out to me. “You don’t want to be late, Ms. Claire and tresses no good for the baby.” I smi

Chapter 72: Leonardo’s POV

I felt disgust as I watched the clerk blatantly disrespect my wife. I was even more disgusted by her doing so while my child was present. Some may call it dramatic but I didn’t want my child to ever see the negative that surrounded his parent’s lives. I never wanted them to see their mother cry over my behavior again, see her be disrespected, ever see me giving attention to another woman instead, and most importantly, feel as though we don’t love them. I want to protect Claire and our child to the best of my abilities.I’m drawn aback when Claire asks about my family. I hadn’t spoken to them since Claire was in the hospital. Mother insisted that I leave Claire as she had become ‘useless’ and Emilia had tried to excuse her hurtful requests as her simply being our mother and wanted to keep our family in a respectable manner.I try to explain to Claire what had occurred and I watch as her face begins to pale. She was terrified.“I chose you, Claire. I should’ve done it a long time ago bu

Chapter 72: Mark’s POV

Looks like I really got myself in a pickle this time. That bitch, Charlotte will pay for this. Running her over was a mistake. I should’ve killed her when I had the chance.I’m shackled heavily as I’m pulled from my jail cell and told that I will be taken to my arraignment. With the positive sketch and identification of my victims - I wouldn’t have a way out of this one and I knew that they wouldn’t risk setting me free.I wait to hear the judges‘ motion and am defeated when I hear that bail would be off the table. Looks like I’d have to find another way to get to Charlotte. As the judge bangs him gavel, I’m redirected to leave the courtroom by two officers. I look over at the stands before the door and am shocked by what I see. That frail woman who I had pushed down the stairs - resulting in the death of her child was sitting there and behind her - I see Leonardo. The man who started it all. That’s not all I notice. I see the ring on his finger as he silently comforts her. The child

Chapter 73: Leonardo’s POV

We make it just time to see Matthew sign his acquittal and pardon from the judge. I watch Claire as she sits and waits patiently to retrieve her brother. Matthew is standing beside Mason who lead him our way.Once he reaches about arms length from us, Claire jumps up, wrapping her arms around Matthew. I can see the anxiety rolling off of my wife in waves and I extend my hand to Mason who nods as he shakes it.“Thank you. You don’t know what this means for her.” He had given Claire hope in these last few weeks. “Of course.” I hear masons response but it doesn’t meet his eyes.“Is something the matter?” I ask in a low tone as I watch Claire and Matthew catching up - oblivious to our conversation.“I believe I’ve found who’s been behind all of this. But you’re not going to like my answer.” He warns as he read my face for a response.“Whoever it is - we need to know. Claire needs to know.”Just as I finish my sentence, Claire and Matthew interrupt with a woman who is noticeably pregnant.

Chapter 73: Claire’s POV

I’m elated when I get to hug my brother and meet his partner Starla but I can’t help but notice Leo being stand-offish with Mason as we bask in Matthew’s freedom and new growing relationship. I decide that no matter what it was would have to wait until we got home. My brother needed support in this moment and I felt obligated to give him my full attention after what he endured because of me.To think that someone would send an innocent man to jail as distraction for their true target still disgusted and shocked me to my core. They could have ruined his life and if it wasn’t for Leo’s connections and restless work - he would have lost an opportunity at life or meeting their child.“How far along are you?” I ask Starla as I gently touch her growing belly.“I just touched 18 weeks.” She smiles at me as I admire my new niece or nephew.“Do you know the gender?” She nods in response and pulls me into a whisper.“I cleaned and decorated his apartment so he’ll find out once we get home!” I s

Chapter 73: Matthew’s POV

I could’ve believe it when I got to hug Claire and kiss Starla again. I expressed my gratitudes and bask in the taste of freedom as I express my gratitude to Claire and Leonardo. I notice that Claire’s hand is in a splint and decide to ask how she’s doing although I never she would either deflect or play down her suffering and she did. I give her a look that meant we’d talk about how she was doing later. No need in making her injury the center of attention if she didn’t want that. She had been through enough.As we’re leaving, I see a familiar face and by Claire’s husband’s reaction - it was an unwelcome face. I remember Jordan from Claire’s college days. They were always very close and he wasn’t a bad guy. I don’t know what’s happened but by the way Claire walked up to him and the nature of their bodies as they spoke - it couldn’t have been good.I watch as Claire returns and we walked to the car. We get in and I bring up the topic.“Wasn’t that your old friend, Jordan?” I ask inno

Chapter 73: Charlotte’s POV

I read the paper, adjourned with news about the judges first pardon in over twenty years. Matthew’s case had brought on a lot press. As I continue reading, I’m hit with a wave of pain. I double over on the couch silently as I wait for it to pass. Francisco had gone to get groceries and I was alone at the moment. As the pain continues, i feel a sudden urge to use the bathroom and practically drag myself to the toilet and sit down. What the hell is wrong with me? I sit there in pain until it passes and I’m able to use the bathroom. I then prepare to wipe when I’m notice the blood stains on my pants and my clothing. I wipe quickly and look to find that I am bleeding excessively. I quickly try to jump in the shower and wash up when I hear the front door close. Francisco was one for bad timing. “Mon Cher, I got some things for you. I hope -“ I hear his voice catch and wonder if I had left blood on the couch as well. It isn’t until I hear footsteps in the bathroom and the curtain yank

Chapter 74: Leonardo’s POV

After celebrating Matthew’s release and the gender of his first child, Claire and I decide to leave to give the couple some time to celebrate their new lives together and go home. I escort Claire to the car and wait until we’re home to tell her what Mason had told me.As we settle into bed, I can’t help but feel defeated in what I need to tell my wife. Mason’s tone was not the usual tone of proudness and success and I knew that we wouldn’t be pleased when we hear the rest of the story tomorrow.“Claire, there’s something I need to tell you.” I watch as the happiness drains from her face.“Is everything okay?”“I believe so. I spoke with Mason today after Matthew was pardoned and acquitted.”“What did he say? Are my attackers being freed?” She looked at though someone had a gun pointed at her.“No. That won’t be happening. Your positive identifications have made sure of it. But he was about to find out whose been behind all of this.” I see her sit up hastily and turn to face me.“Who i
