“Who is Peter?” True asks confused and suspicious by someone paying her bill.

“Peter is Savvy’s bonus dad. Trust me, you’ll meet him soon.” We grab her bags and head home.

CHAPTER 15

True

Now that I have told Atlas the truth, I wonder why I was so nervous to tell him in the first place. He asked no questions; he just listened and did not judge me or ask for proof. He hangs a right and I realize he’s taking me to the compound, not the house. I’m a little nervous about how his family will react to me being there. They had to know Atlas and I had not seen each other this past month and probably have questions.

“Listen True, my family has no idea about Victor or anything related to him and I want to keep it that way. So let's keep that between us. Oh, they don’t believe our cover story, but I don't care; we stick to that story,” he says.

“But why? I am sure if you told them, getting to Victor would be easy. We could finally kill him and move on with our lives,” I say.

“I have lost enough to Victor, and I refuse to lose anyone else I love. I will not put any of my brothers in danger over this. This is my burden, my promise to keep,” he snaps at me.

“What has he taken from you, Atlas?” I ask softly. He takes his eyes off the road quickly to glance at me, then he’s back to watching the road.

“We’ve had enough heartbreaking revelations today, but soon you’ll understand why I will kill Victor even if I have to do it with my last breath,” he says, his voice sounding like broken glass on gravel.

I knew he didn’t want the brothers to know how we met, but I never imagined they were unaware of everything Atlas has been up to. They seem so attuned to with one another; how could they not know? Before I could slip down that rabbit hole, we’re pulling into the compound. The noise level is damn near stadium-level loud when we walk in. There's chaos in the house and the first thing I notice is Savvy running. She has on a tank top and leggings with fuzzy socks. As soon as she spots us, she stops running and begins to slide across the floor in her fuzzy socks. Her slide would make Tom Cruise jealous. She raises a gun and shoots it at Atlas.

“Son of a bitch!” he yells as she hits him in the middle of his forehead with a nerf gun dart which is stuck to his forehead. She takes no time to gloat as she literally leaps over the sofa and turns in mid-leap to shoot Asher as soon as he clears the door. She’s on her hands and knees, peeking around the sofa before she jumps up and runs out the room.

Atlas turns to me with the dart still stuck to his forehead and it takes everything for me not to literally laugh out loud at him.
