    When her own husband doesn't seem able to see the light, she just might have to take matters into her own hands. "I do not want your hag of a mother in my home for the holidays." I moved around the room as I spoke, because if I stood still too long I might commit murder. "Vanessa I've asked you not to refer to my mother like that." "Why not? She calls me worst and I've got the Facebook posts to prove it." "She's my mom. What do you expect me to do?" "I expect you to grow a pair and tell that nut job how it is, or there's gonna be hell to pay." "Baby, come on. Can't you just try for me?" He was advancing but I was onto his shit, no way; not this time buddy. "What? You mean for the one-hundredth time? Uh-uh, all trials are over, she failed. When people fail the trial period you don't hire them. You should know that you're a Captain in the army.

    He might have done it to protect me, but he was still convicted and locked away for seven years.
And for that entire time, I waited for him, knowing that once he was released, things needed to be said, the truth needed to be spoken.
And that day was today.
I loved him, but the look he gave me, the possessiveness and pent-up arousal reflected in his eyes … had me realizing one thing.
Now more than ever, he wouldn’t let me go. Arsen I went to prison for Harper, and I’d do it all over again to make sure she was safe. She was all I thought about the entire time I was behind bars, and it was her weekly visits that got me through the years, even if I tried pushing her away.
