Chapter 40

The mention of Latisha's name made Killian's tone turn sharp. "You can't even take care of yourself, and you're worried about someone else's family drama? Do you want to be locked up forever?"

"I don't care about getting out. Just please, check on Latisha for me. That fool would never say anything, even if Clifford was hurting her."

Killian paused. He hadn't thought of that. Latisha was pregnant. If Clifford did something to her and she...

"Fine, I'll call him. But you need to calm down. Even if Clifford doesn't love her, they grew up together. There's some history there. He wouldn't actually let anything happen to her."

"Don't be naive. That bastard doesn't have a heart. You can't count on him for anything."

Nikita had a point. Clifford was heartless. If he were truly madly in love with Yesenia, he would have divorced Latisha and married her by now. He wouldn't be stringing both of them along.

"Alright, I'll ask," Killian said, cutting her off. He hung up and dialed Clifford's number.
