Ashton's POV

After I got off of work I went to the hospital to see if my sister and nephew were ready to leave. The Ethan dude that Silver was living with had to go to some conference so he couldn't pick them up. Although, props to the guy, he did try to get out of it.

When Silver first introduced me to him yesterday I didn't know how to react. I mean she hasn't had a guy in her life since before Aiddan was born. I just kind of got used to not having to be protective of her and on guard around men. Then a few weeks ago she tells me she's moving in with Aiddan's father?

To be honest I thought she was having a mental breakdown. But after I was officially introduced to him I was set to ease. At least a little bit. I mean I guess this is my second time meeting him but the first time we had met he was just her boss. Nothing more. Now? He is Aiddan's father.

It's going to take some getting used to but if he is willing to fight for them and stay by them then he and I will get along just fine.

Walking out of my house I see an envelope on top of my car. Picking it up I see that it is addressed to Silver. Hmm. That's weird. Frowning I open the letter and read:

Dear Silver,

I see that you ignored my last message. So this time I am going to write.

No matter where you are. No matter who you are with, you will be mine. I WILL have you. You are mine, my dear. And there is nothing you can do to change that. Ever since I first saw you, you were all I thought about.

You have kept me up day and night. Hours on end. Thinking about what it would be like in our future. But know you have tried to ruin that. By moving in with him. And having HIS child.

You have made a grave mistake. And I promise you will regret it. You shall only be with ME. Have MY children. Be touched, loved, and seen, by nobody but ME.

And if you forget this my love. Your son will pay dearly for that. He's what? Almost four now? And he has cancer. It sure would be a shame if something were to happen to him.

Leave Ethan Winthrope and all will be fine. For now. And when the time is right, I will make myself known.

Sincerely,

G. V.

By the time I was done I had fisted the letter in my hand and crumpled the paper. Fuming, I threw it in the passenger seat of my car and hurried to the hospital. Getting to Aiddan's room I quickly put it out of my mind trying not to frighten my nephew. I'll tell Silver later. When Ethan was around. Because knowing my baby sister I doubt she told him about any other message that creep had sent her. And if Ethan is going to be with her then by God he is going to keep her safe. Or I will make her move back with me and hire an entourage of bodyguards.

"Uncle Ash!" Aiddan yelled as he watched me enter his room.

His hair was slightly tousled and a piece of it fell into his face and bounced around as he ran my way with his short legs. He was honestly the most adorable thing in my world. I love him with everything in me. And I'll never let anything hurt him. No matter what has to be done.

There's my favorite nephew." I chuckle as I watch my sister shake her head in amusement.

"He's your only nephew." She laughed, smiling at us as Aiddan stuck his tongue out at her.

"As of the moment." I joke with her grinning as her cheeks turned bright red with her blush.

"I'm not-We're not- Oh forget it!" she huffed in false annoyance before she laughed along with me. Standing up she grabbed her backpack and walked towards us.

"Let's just leave." she rushed before walking ahead of us to the nurses station to sign the release papers.

As soon as they were signed we left the hospital doors and found my car. Silver set Aiddan into the car seat I always keep in my back seat and gave him his favorite stuffed turtle to play with. When she got into the passenger seat she noticed the letter I had thrown there. Shit. I forgot about that! I went to grab it but she beat me to it. Quickly she read it and her eyes filled with tears.

"Silver. Get in." I whisper softly to which she obeyed silently.

After a few minutes of silence she asked, "When did you read this?"

"Before I got here." I answered truthfully slowly driving out of the hospital parking lot. "When were you going to tell me someone was stalking you?"

"I didn't kno-know I was being stalked!" she sobbed covering her face as she looked out the window. "Before we went to the hospital yesterday some creep sent me a weird poem through text. I just thought he had the wrong number. Hell! I wasn't even sure it was a guy!"

"We have to tell Ethan." I whispered after a few minutes of processing that information.

Silver started shaking her head. "No! We just started to get used to each other. I mean everything has been going by so fast! I don't want to scare him off with this."

"Mia cara sorellina (My dear little sister), if he is worth keeping, if he is worth being the father of your son, if he is a true man, then he will stay with you. He will protect you. Per favore (please), tell him. He has a right to know." I stated staring at the road. Afraid to look into my sisters' scared eyes. "Especially if this guy is serious. If he is willing to harm your son then you need to do everything in your power to prevent that. Not just as a good mother, but as a good human being. No child should get hurt because of our fears."

"You're right." she whispered brokenly. "Will you help me tell him?"

"Of course."

I felt so bad for my sister. She's been through so much in her life. Watching our father die, being harassed by our mother to marry rich. And all the abuse she was put through because she refused. She had always wanted love. Not money. But our mother just couldn't handle that. And when our father was still alive she had to be the one to witness all their fights. Not me. No cause I was always away at boarding school. I still felt guilty to this day.

Silver and I have always been close. But whenever I was away for school and our mother started drama with dad she would never tell me. She would just endure it on her own. Which is probably why she is so scared to get close to any man. That and the last time she did was with Mark, and that ended in tragedy too. But, it also brought her a gift. Something to cherish and look after. That was Aiddan. And I'll be damned before someone takes away my sister's only light in life.
