Amelia’s heart twisted when she saw the little boy in the hospital bed. His face was pale, his eyes too big in his narrow face, his body quivering as if he was still cold.

Terri rushed to him and gave him a hug. “Oh, Ronnie, I’m so glad they found you. I’ve been worried sick.”

The little boy looked up at her with a frown and tears in his eyes.

Amelia’s phone vibrated in her pocket, and she checked the caller ID. An unknown number appeared. She nudged John. “Let me get this.”

He nodded, and she stepped into the hall. Curious, she pressed answer.

“Hello, Viola.”

Amelia jerked her head around, suddenly nervous at the gruff voice. A male voice. And he was calling her by one of her alter’s names. “Who is this?”

“You’re a whore, you know that. But I don’t mind. Neither did the other men you whored around with.”

Amelia jerked her head around, searching the hospital waiting room to see if the caller was watching her.

“Who is this?”

“Meet me tonight.”

Perspiration broke out on Amelia’s forehead, and she stepped into the corner of the waiting room and backed against the wall. Viola had taken a lot of lovers, men Amelia didn’t even know.

Amelia struggled for a calm voice. “What do you want?”

“I told you, I want to hook up with you again.”

“I’m not Viola.”

“Yes, you are. I’ve been watching you and I want my hands on you. All over you.” He made a humming sound. “I want to strip you and put my tongue between your legs.”

“Stop it!” Amelia said between clenched teeth.

“I know what you’re doing,” he murmured.

“What do you mean?”

“Looking for your baby. Who is the father, Viola? Me or one of the other men you screwed?” A sinister laugh echoed over the line. “Or do you even know?”

Shame washed over her. Whoever the bastard was, he was right.

She didn’t know who’d fathered her son.

“You wanna know what happened to your baby?” he whispered. “You threw him away. That’s the kind of mama you are.”

Tears clogged Amelia’s throat, and she shook her head.

But she’d had no control over herself years ago. What if he was telling the truth?
