Lying on the operation table, Gatlin seemed to have only minutes to live.
He was about to speak when I asked, “How did my mom die? Did you kill her? Did you cause her parents‘ car accident?”
His face got paler.
“Yes… The day before she passed away, I beat her again…
“She couldn’t take it anymore and hung herself.
“Her parents‘ death…was my doing too…
“I didn’t wanna be a matrilocal…husband, I wanna have a marriage most men do…

Now, the four people were down to two, which were Leila, a convict, and Antonio.
As for my newly–born nephew, he would have people to take care of him, and it was not my business.
Afterward, I did some things.
I took my mom’s last name and changed my full name to Grace Ramsey.
