When There Is Nothing Left But Love

Ronald’s expression was grim. “Ms. Stovall, I agree to register my children’s birth. I will agree to any condition you state.”

With a frown, Boris replied before I could. “No need!”

As we were talking, the crowd scurried into the house. Boris pulled me aside and stood in front of me protectively. As the house was tiny, only a few men stormed in.

“Ronald Weeder, why are you hiding? Your daughter killed someone. Hand her to us before we take action!”

Immediately, the crowd surrounded Ronald’s family and began abusing them verbally. Fritz’s mother would’ve given Ronald a beating if someone hadn’t stopped her.
