Forgetting is hard to do.

Tori McLeod survived the sadistic wrath of a madman at the

About The Author:

I'm a new self-published author who just got introduced to
the writing world early 2013. My aunt suggested that I write a story because
I'm an avid reader but I waved it off and left it alone. Well this year, a story
came to me and I went with it. It took me a little bit but I finally got a
story idea that worked and now I can't stop or control the characters/stories
that keep popping up in my head.

I'm born and raised in Canada and I live with my very
wonderful and supportive husband, Michael. We don't have any children (yet)
unless you count our two cats. He's been my rock through this whole new
experience for me. I couldn't have done it without him and my friends and
family.

One of the many things I love about this new chapter in my
life is that I'm learning constantly. It's never a dull moment and as long as
one person likes my story, I am happy.

Excerpt:

Two years had passed since Sebastian Chelios had
died. Two years since being told that Jose Alvarez was still out there. And two
years since I was told I was pregnant.

Pregnant with Sebastian’s baby.

God, who knew that that would happen?

A result of my forgetfulness of taking
the pill. But it was well worth it when I looked into the eyes of my baby.
Sebastian’s baby. Our child.

I tried to forget. But the calendar on
the wall beckoned like a tease, and my eyes darted to the dreaded numbers. My
mind went back to those horrible couple of days.

It was like a bad horror movie in my
mind. Jose kidnapping me. Sebastian showing up. Us both shot. The blur of the
hospital. My lover. Dead. Doctors and nurses in my face. Then news of the
pregnancy. My head whirled when I got sucked into my thoughts. Real, as if it
was yesterday. Realizing I would have to raise a child on my own.

But now…every day I looked at Antonio
and ached. His eyes had slipped from blue to brown, and he reminded me so much
of Sebastian.


His father would never see him. Never
know him.

Fresh tears filled my eyes but I shook
them off. I headed to the front door and made sure it was locked. I looked out
the window and noticed a big black car a couple of houses away. Relief
fluttered through me. The Feds were watching. Protecting me and my son from
Jose.

A scream came through the baby monitor
on my counter.

I ran up the stairs in my small two
bedroom house and headed right to my baby’s room. After throwing the door open,
I stood there, panting, gripping my chest as my heart raced against my rib
cage.

My son lay there, looking up at me
from his crib, a big smile on his beautiful chubby face.

I sucked in a breath and tried to ease
the thumping in my ears. “Hi, baby. You sure like giving your mama a heart
attack, don’t you?”

He giggled. Yup, definitely
Sebastian’s kid.
