âWhat is it?â
âNow, lad, thereâs no need to be panicking.â
Sawyer lifted his head at his motherâs quiet words.
Quiet because Devon was at the other end of the room working.
He recognized that volume. It was a âletâs not freak Devon outâ pitch, not a âletâs not worry Sawyerâ pitch.
Scowling at his mother, he scrubbed his hand over his head as he demanded, âWhat is it?â
She winced, her shock of red hair was as bright against her pale skin as it had been when he was a boy. The only difference being the many lines that now creased her face. For all that, she was still the bonny lass he remembered, but the worry on her features made his own nerves start to fray. âAndrei just called.â
Unable to discern why that would have her as white as a sheet, he realized Andrei calling heralded something else. Something bad.
Sawyer, only by the grace of God, didnât jump up and slam his chair back, as, Cintaâs earlier prediction coming true, panic filled him. âWhatâs wrong?â he insisted, trying to control his tone even as he glanced over at Devon to make sure his brother from another mother was still focused on work.
âSascha called him because sheââ
âSascha called Andrei?â He scowled at her. âWell, whatâs wrong with that, ma?â
She scowled back at him. âIf youâd let me finish, son, Iâd explain. Sheâs had a fall.â She whispered the word. âAnd someone stole her purse after she fell.

I was starting to get worried, but you and Devon were so busyâ¦â She shrugged her shoulders. âI thought you knew sheâd be out a long time. I thought sheâd told you about it.â
For a second, he couldnât process what sheâd said. Then, when he could, he jumped to his feet, agitation making it impossible for him to sit down.
His woman had fallen six hours ago and theyâd only just now found out?
Worse still, sheâd had to contact the house in Kensington rather than them because she didnât know their numbers?
As horrified as he was, blackness seemed to bleed over everything else. Sheâd fallen, and his mother was looking like she could burst into tears at any moment.
His throat felt too clogged full of emotions as he turned to Devon. Not only was his best friend not going to take this well, he knew there was more.
More.
His mouth fucking trembled as he turned back to Cinta. âThe baby?â he asked her quietly, their eyes locking.
She shook her head. âTheyâ¦â She swallowed, the noise audible in the quietness of the study. âNo.â
Agony whipped through him like a hurricane. It left devastation in its wake, but the shame and the rage and the fear all coalesced because, as bad as he was feeling, it was nothing to what was about to happen to Devon.
And then, he felt angrier because what about his
