Chapter 11—

**Lasha— Back at Lasha’s Apartment

Cesar was already fast asleep after his feeding. He only had one helping tonight but it wasn’t a problem in my book because I knew he needed his rest for tomorrow’s flight. It would probably be the only time he would be able to get a good night’s sleep where he felt comfortable enough to relax and not worry about watching his back. I, on the other hand, could not sleep. I kept tossing and turning, staring out the window or up at the ceiling wondering if I should continue to hide whom I was or could I keep up appearances while keeping it a secret.

As I moved carefully from the bed so as not to wake him, I snatched my phone up from the nightstand and headed for the kitchen. Since we were still in our small ass apartment, I would have to keep quiet during phone calls. Searching through my phone I began to realize that just because I was getting married, it didn’t mean that I had to stop being who I was. Fact of the matter was I loved what I did. I loved my job. I just didn’t love the fact that I had to hide it from everyone that my heart loved.

“Hello?”

“Papa, found him.”

“Good. Now you will take care of him and come back home. You’ve been in the states for too many months. It’s changed you.”

“What the hell, Papa? I’ve done fine and I like being on my own. I don’t wanna come back home and deal with your rules.” My expression grew as angry as the sound of my voice. “I’m a grown woman, Papa. I can make it on my own.”

“Your brother is dead. He thought he could make it on his own and he couldn’t. He thought he could do your job and he couldn’t and got sucked into bullshit up there. Now he’s dead.”

“You don’t even know that for sure, Papa. Nobody’s found his body. He could just be hiding.” I said checking the doorway for Cesar. “I call his phone everyday but no answer. When he’s ready he will.”

“I feel in my heart that he is no longer apart of this earth, mija.”

“Papa, stop thinking that way. He’s not dead and I will prove it to you when I find him. I’m going to look for him tomorrow. He’s just hiding not knowing who he can trust.” I wasn’t even sure if that was the truth myself. “That’s all.”

“Well you find him then. Okay? You find him and bring him home. Because if everyday you call and there’s no answer that means he’s dead. I refuse to sit on my hands and pretend he’s not. The same thing happened to your mother when she went missing.” He went silent. “Then they killed her. They killed your beautiful mother, mija. So I returned the favor and now there’s one left who needs to reap what they sow. But after that I want you home, so I can protect you.
