Serena slammed the door.
Then she turned toward Rosa.
“That man is an unstable former boyfriend.”
Rosa said nothing.
“If he comes back, don’t let him inside.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
“And don’t mention this to Mrs. Mercer.”
Rosa looked at her.
Serena added:
“If you value your position here.”
That was her mistake.
Threatening Rosa Alvarez inside a house Rosa had helped maintain since Serena was probably still attending middle school was never going to produce obedience.
Two days later, Evan returned.
This time Serena was gone.
He gave Rosa his attorney’s business card.
“I don’t want their money.”
Rosa studied him.
“What do you want?”
“My son, if he’s my son.”
He explained that Serena and he had been engaged years earlier.
Their relationship had been unstable, but they had continued seeing each other during the exact period Serena later claimed she conceived Theo with Graham.
When Serena became pregnant, she suddenly ended everything.
Months later, Evan learned she was involved with a married businessman.
He had asked for a paternity test repeatedly.
