I didn't tell anyone, just ran as fast as I could. They had legal control until I was of age, and since I was only 16, they could have taken you. Worse, I'll always believe they would have made me get an abortion. I ran and…Kenny found me.
How it happened is my own personal hell - you already feel too much of my pain - and I won't share that. Kenny and I made a deal that said you and I would become his obedient family. It seemed like the best I could do at the time. I know now that it was the wrong choice. How could I not, when I can see it on my skin, feel it in your looks?
Yet, after all that's happened, he has chosen not to come back for me.
That only leaves one person you can trust - your dad. You have to call Brady, and you know what I mean. He'll come once he knows it's true. I'm so sorry now, that I never told Marc, never gave him the chance to be your father. He had no idea you existed, or he would have come back for us. I know it in my heart...
There was more, but Marc let it go. Anger, guilt, and joy warred in his heart. They had a son. They made a baby! She should have told him! He would have come back a happy man.
"Really?" his heart was cruel, "You wouldn't have felt like a trapped criminal, sure it was wrong?"
Marc let out a harsh sound. That's exactly how it would have felt back then, but it didn't matter. He hadn't knocked, and she'd been forced to turn to someone else.
"I should have talked to her that day."
"Yes."
Understanding instantly that this man had been here all along, waiting for her…their son, Marc spun, Colt out and ready.
"You must be the sinner she talks about in the letter. Her lover," Warren sneered, body stinging from the burns, mind flaming at the defeat.
Marc took in the charred skin and furious brown eyes, and instantly connected them to the wrecks outside.
"You're she couldn't wait for me."
He was suddenly sure this man had forced Angie to defend herself. The rage was nearly overwhelming.
Warren scowled at the confirmation of their relationship, raising his gun as he moved out of the dark corner where he had been lurking. His daughter and his leadership were long gone because of the Witch, but maybe he had another chance at her. If he could just wound her lover!
