Slow Release (Ebony and Ivory Book 1) (24 page)

If any woman ever needed a hero, I guess it would have to be me. My ideal hero would be a man who would take it upon himself to rescue me, even if I fought his gallantry every step of the way.

I wish I could tell you that this is a story with a happy ending. I wish I could tell you that this is like so many other stories I have seen and read where there is a wonderful reunion for mother and daughter, but I can’t.

The simple fact of the matter is that my birth mother never wanted me. From the moment I left her womb until the day of her death, she made sure I knew that she wished I had never been born.

Though I still can’t wrap my brain around how it’s possible that some women never bond with their children, I have finally realized that my mother is one of the few without the ability. I made the conscious decision to accept this reality and move on. I had to, but somewhere in the midst of coming to grips with her hatred of me, I have become angry. I suppose he had no choice but to take me against my will due to my obstinacy.

I have no regrets for the life I have been granted, and I harbor no resentment. After all, it brought me to him.
I'm certain many people might question the way he chose to 'rescue' me. Knowing him the way I do, I’m sure he feels the end justifies the means. 

This is our story. It's the story of a man who took me against my will. It’s the story of a man who saved me.

I’ll be fine if I can just get through the next half a year without stealing anything or, worse yet, killing him.

Coming soon…
