When There Is Nothing Left But Love

I remembered how emotional and irrational I got when my children were kidnapped. Back then, I would rather the kidnappers took me as their hostage instead despite what Ashton and John said.

With the love of her life dead, her child missing, and her face modeled to look like someone else, it was enough to fill Nora with hate and change her completely.

I knew Ashton would have disarmed the bomb if he could, but that was just not possible. This is probably what Armond wanted. Even in death, the man continues to haunt our lives, and there’s nothing we can do about it.

Feeling helpless, I sighed before asking Ashton to take us home. Nothing much we can do for now. What’s bound to happen will eventually happen, whether we like it or not.

On the way home, I could not stop thinking about how I could make up for Nora’s losses. Her child was still an infant when Armond’s men took him away. Maybe he’s still alive somewhere. But even Nathaniel couldn’t find him; what chance do we have now that it’s been six years?

As much as I wanted to help Nora, I could not come up with a practical solution.
