Chapter Thirteen

The world is full of monsters with friendly faces and angels full of scars

I stand on the corner of the concrete patio and tell her I’ll be right here, but the fear in her voice is evident. She’s terrified to go through this alone. Normally women go to classes that teach them how to go through labor, or at least that’s what I thought they did. Her lack of knowledge is appearing as fear, and it’s not her fault. Fuck, if that Lucien guy hadn’t offed himself, I would love to make him suffer for the terror she’s feeling.

With my cell in hand I call my father, not sure who the doctor on call for the Cartel is in this area. We have one physician in every state, which can sometimes be a great thing, but other times they’re too far away to make a difference. The ringing sound on the other end fills my ears until it goes to his voicemail.

If he were around, he’d answer.

I call him again, and again until I’ve now called him three times and it’s gone straight to voicemail yet again. Instead of halting my efforts I text him.

To: Father

Amara is going into labor. Who is the doctor here?

If she were going to keep the child, I could take her to the local hospital . . . but I can’t do that. Not since she’s going to give the baby up. I’m able to have the documentation altered to say Yolanda and Manuel are the parents of the child, and that it was delivered by a Cartel physician . . . but if we were to go to the hospital the birth certificate would have Amara’s name. She wouldn’t be able to give the baby up like she’s decided.

I try to figure out some sort of plan, but I come up empty every time. She has to stay here. If she wants this child to grow up with normal parents, she doesn’t have a choice. I want to be able to take her to the hospital, to at least get the medical care she deserves . . . but if I do it’ll alter everything she’s clearly stated she wants.

I stare at my phone and wait to see the three little dots appear, but nothing does. Fuck. I don’t know what’s going on, but this is the worst timing for him to be out of reach. I turn back and face Amara, walking steadily over to her and take a seat on the lounge chair beside her. I take her hands in mine and look her directly in the eyes. “I’m not going to lie to you. Okay?”

“Oh God. Tell me what’s wrong.”

“I can’t get in contact with my father. We have a physician assigned to every state for the familia and Cartel. I don’t know who’s assigned to this territory, so I called my father. I texted him as well and have gotten no response so far.”

“What does that mean?” Amara asks, the worry showing through her expression.
