Leo's POV
What was I supposed to say to them?
How could I look my own brothers in the eye and tell them the truth? How could I tell them that I knew she was alive for over two years? Every single month, my phone would ring with a message from a hidden number. Just a few words: I'm fine, Leo. I'm doing well. It was a small, special message meant only for me.
But it was worse than that. So much worse. I did not just keep a secret. I hurt them in the worst way possible. Twice over the last two years, I went and found her. Twice, I held her in the dark, inhaled her scent, and forgot about everything else. I slept with her behind their backs while they were crying and hurting for five long years.
If Liam and Leonard found out that I had touched her, and that I had hidden her from them, they would not just be angry. They would destroy me.
