"How the hell am I supposed to guard your sister if you keep important info from me, dawg?" Evan growls at Anthony over the phone. "What the fuck are you going on about now?" Anthony ask rolling his eyes. "Why the hell didn't you tell me that Razor knows that Liah is pregnant with Mathayus's children?" Even asks.
"How the fuck do you know about that?" "I've my sources too, dawg, so why would you keep that from me?" "Because it makes no fucking difference if you know or not, I'm handling things on this end, your job is to protect Liah at all costs, from anyone who wants to harm her or those kids, be it our men or not...
I'm doing all I can to contact Michael so that he can get his ass back here and protect his own damn kids, which leads me to wonder, why hasn't he ever called to check on how things are going here? It's been months since he left, and not one damn call, what the fuck is all that about?" Anthony barks into the phone.
"If you had gone through all that he did when he was here, would you have called after leaving?" Evan asks. "Isn't that the reason he left all that cash, to say he forgives us and all that?"
"Or maybe it was his way of saying I don't owe any of you shit." Evan snorts. "Fuck, well in that case, even if he did receive the message, he probably won't return my call," Anthony growls. "Probably not, but now that Razor knows, he will probably have more luck contacting Mathayus than you had."
"If that fucker is even trying." Anthony scuffs. "Oh, trust me, I think he's trying." "And why would you think that?"
"Because he finally has something at his fingertips that he can use as leverage over Mathayus, something Mathayus would do anything to protect, and if Razor can use these kids to control the future king of Saudi-Arabia, do you see him passing that chance up?" Evan asks.
"Shit, I wasn't even thinking about that."
"I know." Evan snorts.

"What the hell kind of nonsense is this now, Liah?" Anthony asked angrily. "It's not nonsense, if you really think about it, I mean, even though I had no idea who Michael was when I fell in love with him, I don't regret giving myself to him, but knowing who he is now, I realize that I'm in way over my head." She said, running her hands over her face.
"Anthony, I could lose my children, considering everything that I said to him the last time I saw him, there's no way he would allow me to raise his children, no way, Tony." She cries.
"He's going to take them away from me, and I'll never see them again, and don't forget all that you did to him, too. Do you think this family is who he wants raising his children? Look at this, Tony," she says, logging onto her laptop.
"I've been following his public movements on social media; he has been meeting with dignitaries from different countries. Everyone has been praising him on the great work he has been doing, saying what a great king he's going to be, and how he's a great asset to his country....
This is the man whose children I'm now carrying, Anthony. Once he finds out about them, what are the chances that he will allow me to keep my children?" she ask her voice filled with panic.
"Ugh, alright, I get your concern, but come on, this is Michael we're talking about, the man that walk into a base filled with murderers just to save my ass, then rips those fuckers apart to save Razor's base."
"Yes, he did all that, but that was before he got his memories back. What about now? Don't you think that it's strange that in all the months since he left, he hasn't tried contacting anyone here, not even once? If everything he went through here is now water under the bridge, then why hasn't he contacted anyone here, Tony?"
"I would be lying if I said that exact question hasn't crossed my mind more than once, but when I think about it, he has been dealing wid a lot since he returned home, the death of his mother, and now it's been confirmed that his pregnant fiancee is indeed dead also, not to mention the ass-holes that betrayed him...."
"Even if that's true," She shouts, cutting him off. "For God's sake Tony, It's been months, he could've contact anyone at any given time but he didn't because he wants nothing to do with this Island or anyone on it and as soon as he finds out that his children are here, he's going to come back here and take them away from me and there won't be anything anyone can do to stop him, you know as well as I that no one take on that man and win."
"I hear you, sis, but we also have another problem." "Which is?" "Razor, know that you're carrying Michael's children." "What!" "Yep, he knows, so if Michael doesn't come and claim his kids, Razor will, he will probably drag you and them back home and force you to raise them in his base, so the question you have to ask yourself is this...
Would you rather Razor raise your children or their own father? The choice you make will determine who will raise your kids, Liah."
"There has to be a third option." "From where I'm standing right now, there isn't one. My best advice to you right now is focus on bringing two healthy children into this world, focus on nothing else than a safe delivery, and one month after they're born, we'll have this little chat again, deal?"
"Fine, deal, now that Razor knows I'm going to need more time to rethink this whole situation anyway." "You do that, I'm going to chat with mama for a while, and while you're thinking, get some rest." He said, leaving the room, closing the door behind him.
"This is the definition of being between a rock and a hard place." She grumbles as she walks over to the bed and slowly lowers herself onto it.
This was her fault; if only she had listened to Jody and handled the situation concerning her lying sister differently, then she wouldn't be in this mess right now. She thought as fresh tears ran down her face.
