Tamia pulled up in the drive she killed the engine and sat there for a while. She couldn't stop thinking about her night with Kingston and how much it would destroy her family, but she was scared that some way down the line it would come out when she least expected it and it would blow their world apart, plus she knew Raphael had a right to know.

She finally after a lot of deliberation, got out of the car and headed up the drive to the house, her heart in her throat as she put her key in the door.
Raphael just stared at her. "... I've been calling you for the last 10 minutes... I gotta go... Haydn has a location for Lucia..."

She swallowed hard, what she had to say was on the tip of her tongue about to come out. She stopped herself. "Go and get her, bring her home... I just hope she hasn't been sold on yet...

Raphael stared at her and narrowed his eyes

Raphael stared at her and narrowed his eyes. "Sold on!.. what the hell do you mean, sold on?." He said his eyes boring into her.

"Well... I'm... just saying, you know.. how things happen nowadays... trafficking and all sorts...

"Naw.. that was very fucking specific Tamia..."
Tamia was beginning to crack under the pressure.
"You know something don't you!... DONT YOU!." He said with a raised voice and emphasis.

Tears welled in her eyes. "Yes... she was abducted off the street...and she was sold to someone... it was Dion Telford that made the sell..::

"What!.. AND YOU ARE ONLY FUCKING TELLING ME THIS NOW!..." he yelled.

"I only just found out... literally, just now!." She said, perspiring.

Raphael's face changed. "And how the fuck did you just find out... from who!..."

She knew the game was up. She knew she had to tell him, even if just to unburden herself of the guilt.
"Umm.... Kingston Telford told me... I went to meet him..."
Raphael was silent but his eyes were wide with anticipation of what might be said next.
"He told me...

"What are you doing meeting with Kingston off the cuff?.." he asked.

"He's an.... Umm... he's my ex... from years ago...

Raphael laughed out loud, before he swiped everything from the sideboard to the floor in anger. "You and him... a fucking Telford!..."

"I didn't know you and his brother would have beef later down the line did I... he was my past...

"So, how the fuck did he have yo number to call you to come meet him today?." He asked her, his face straight and menacing.

"Mommy!." Their daughter said appearing in the doorway, she didn't like the shouting.

"Raphael just go and find her, we can talk later.." she said not wanting to have this conversation with the kids around to hear it.

"Trust me... this is not over... and he better not even be trying to play the hero for her again, cos this time I'll kill him!.." he snapped and left the house.
