Keri Giovanni was a single mother living in West New York. She was the mother of a five year old boy, Ethan Dominic Giovanni; a smart boy, much too smart for his age but Keri showered all her love on him.

Keri knew if he ever found out what she was…, she shuddered to even think what would happen if he knew the truth about her. But what she did not know was that Bryan knew everything. An hour later, Keri was face to face with her ex-husband, Alexander Vidal. She gasped and backed against the window. “How did –yo –you –fi -find m-me?” she stuttered. “Aw Keri G,” Alex sneered at her, “Did you really think you will run away from me, taking my son and I won’t find you?” Keri was trapped in a strangle hold by Alex, she couldn’t breathe and was panting for breath. “Ethan is my son and you as hell know that I’m going to have his custody, everyone knows that the law of United States of America doesn’t give a child’s custody to an ex-drug junkie, or do they?” Alex loosened his grip on her …show more content…
Alex raised his eyebrows at the question and whistled. In an instance Bryan’s cabin door opened and his face appeared curled up in a smirk; then it all clicked to her.

He snickered and said, “I really did not know you but when I saw Ethan four months ago, all I saw was my brother, and don’t worry Keri, we have the legal court order clearly stating that you no right over Ethan but Alex has.” Keri was paralysed by all this.

She knew Alex was long gone with Ethan and she just lost everything. She now regretted everything and wondered “Is it too late now?” Was it really too late now to do something. Yes, yes it was, she couldn’t do anything to correct her mistake of marrying a dominant, abusive man. She was sick of

Greg and Ashely were eating at their favorite restaurant. "We need to talk," Ashley stated, "We're just not the same as we used to be. You don't laugh and joke with me anymore. You don't vent to me, express your feelings, or gossip. We don't even sleep in the same bed anymore." A worried look appeared on Greg's face. H began to twitch and move around in his seat. "What are you trying to say?" questioned Greg. "I want a divorce," said Ashley, " I changed the locks and you need to leave tonight." Greg then lashed out in a fit of rage.

A barrage of giggles and laughter came from the backseat of two young children, both eight years old. Their knees both scarred and faces smudged with dirt. Their soccer uniforms were both equally dirty, but it didn’t matter. The two of them had won the soccer championship. The one sitting behind the woman, a girl with light indigo hair tossed into a ponytail, began to speak. “Mom, can Kageshi spend the night?” She called, pulling on her seatbelt to peer over the passenger seat. “Not today, Rokumaru,” her mother replied, not glancing back at her. “You two need a break and surely his parents would want to congratulate him.” The woman’s husband added. Maru had her lips in a tight pout as she sat back, crossing her arms. The boy next to her, the one named Kageshi and with messy dark brown hair, put a hand on her shoulder. “No need to be all mad, Maru.” He then grinned. “We have all the time in the world
