***MIRABELLA'S POV***

“Private school?” I asked with a slight frown. “What's wrong with his home lessons?”

“Come on, Bella. According to you, Alfred has been homeschooled since day one. Back then at least you were around more but he hardly sees you these days and he needs to be around kids his age more often.” Mom suggested but I shook my head negatively.

“I don't think that's a good idea, mom. Alfred is already doing well, he's a smart kid and it won't make any difference if he's homeschooled or attends a private school.” I stated firmly while changing out of my work clothes.

“You need to loosen up a bit, Mirabella. I get that you're trying to protect him but keeping him locked up isn't the best.”

“He isn't locked up. You and Dad take him out on several occasions, and I do the same whenever I can—”

“But now work has made you busier than ever. The least you can do is let him socialize. He's a very curious kid you know. He needs to make friends with kids his age and get used to being a

    ***EASTON'S POV***“Tell me you have some useful information for me.” I said while keeping my gaze focused on the wheels. I had the call connected to the car's Bluetooth, that way I won't get distracted.“Well, I was finally able to get the caller ID from the number you gave me. However, it was registered with a fake name so I couldn't track it down with any known person.” Kyle responded over the phone and I let out a sigh.Smart move. The caller must have suspected something like this and had taken precautionary measures.“And what about Mirabella's case?” I asked after a while and I could hear Kyle grumble from the other end before responding.“I told you already. The Brookwoods are high profile people, they don't let any personal information slip out just like that. All I can find are news headlines of Mirabella's return. Nothing about the kid or his biological father.” “So you're saying you can't track her activities in the last six years?” I asked with a frown, making a right tu

    ***MIRABELLA'S POV***I kept stroking Alfred's hair as he slowly drifted off to sleep. I kissed his forehead, pulling the blanket over his shoulders then exited his room. My mind drifted off to my encounter with Easton and our visit to his parents' house. I couldn't help but admire the way he acted around Alfred. There was no doubt that he would be a good father to Alfred but it was too risky. He wasn't a good husband to me, and though he is obviously trying to make up for it, I wasn't sure if I could fully trust him again.I remembered his mother's remark about Alfred. I felt bad for lying to them as well but I couldn't risk Easton finding out. If I should tell them about Alfred being their grandson, then there's no doubt that Easton would find out sooner or later.I walked into my room and found my mom comfortably sitting on my bed.“Did you forget the location to your room?” I asked mom jokingly and she smiled softly.“I wanted to have a word with you before you start packing for

    ***NICOLE'S POV***I stared at my reflection on the mirror and nodded my head, satisfied with my appearance. I had on a sleeveless floral gown which stopped right above my knees, held in place by a black waist girdle with a gold head, and black leather tall boots to match.I left the room after grabbing my purse and walked into the living room. I glanced around, letting out a heavy sigh. The place felt so empty without Easton, and I kept thinking about our last discussion, and the way Easton stormed out without giving me a second glance.I wanted to tail him, find out where he was going but decided against it. He didn't return again until late night and when he did, I could perceive the smell of alcohol all over him. He didn't say a word to me about what happened after that day, and he's been speaking to me as though nothing happened but I knew that he still didn't trust me.A part of me knew my time with Easton was coming to an end but I would never let that happen. I decided to use

Easton already had a vehicle waiting to pick us up and take us to the hotel.We arrived at the hotel in less than thirty minutes and our luggage was placed in a cart as we walked into the luxurious five star hotel to book our stay.“Welcome to Comfort Z, how may I assist you, sir?” The receptionist asked Easton, her tone professional with a slightly thick accent that made one conclude she wasn't a native English speaker.“We'll be taking two of the masters suites.” Easton responded and I furrowed my brows at him.“Two?” I asked and he turned to me with a slight smile.“One for you and your assistant and then the other for me. Or do you want your personal space?” Easton asked and I let out an awkward laugh.I initially thought he was booking two rooms to have us share one and Lola the second.

    ***MIRABELLA'S POV***I stared at the message, blinking several times just to make sure I was not imagining. It was crystal clear.But why was I panicking? Easton clearly invited me over for work, yet my heart kept beating as though it wanted to burst out of my chest.I knew it was not a good idea but what's there to worry about? I wouldn't let myself get swayed so easily, I wasn't that Mirabella anymore but we both drank a lot tonight, and I felt as though I would be walking right into a trap if I was to accept his offer, a trap that was probably set up by my mind.But still, I had to be careful.“Since we have no schedule tomorrow, why don't we work on it tomorrow? It's late now and I'm certain you're tired as well.” I texted, holding my breath as I awaited his response.“Alright. Goodnight, Mirabella.” Easton texted back after a while and I finally released my breath.I quickly changed into my night gown and settled on the other side of the bed. Today was a success, and I hoped e

    ***EASTON'S POV***We were all settled in the hotel's conference room, Mirabella sat next to me, her expression unreadable as she kept her gaze locked on the investors as they signed each document.I let my gaze travel down to her outfit. She had worn a simple buttoned up long sleeve shirt and grey pants, with her hair let down, falling on her back and on each side of her shoulders. She radiated nothing but confidence, and elegance and I found it difficult to take my gaze off her.I tried to be on my best behavior throughout the trip but each time I saw her, I couldn't block out the longing feeling to hold her hand, to run my hands through the strands of her thick hair, and...My thoughts got snapped aside when Mr. Alex rose from his seat.“Well, Mr. Grey, I look forward to our joint partnership and future success.” He said while extending his hand.I stood up and accepted his handshake, a small smile on my face.“Thank you for choosing to partner with us.” I responded and he smiled,

Since the main agenda for the trip had been accomplished, there was no need to waste any more time.The only person now that could give me an answer was Broody, but from the police report, he seemed to be in pretty bad shape.First I would meet with Kyle to see the transaction lists he had mentioned which apparently were all done by Nicole into Broody's account. Why would she send such an amount of money to him in secret, and where did she even get the money?Nicole wasn't well off, that I was aware of and she didn't seem to me like someone who was into any illegal acts for money, but then again, do I really know her well enough?When I had finished packing, I picked up m

And it's really late, so I think —”“I think we should both take a shower. How about that?” I said with a smirk and Easton chuckled.“You still think you can handle it?” He asked as he closed the space between us, wrapping his arms possessively around my waist.“Try me.” I responded, holding his gaze.He smirked as he slowly leaned down, connecting our lips.

It was his sixth birthday today and we had all gathered to cheer him on.“Go on, Alfred. Blow out your candles.” Mom said with a bright smile.“Don't forget to make a wish.” I added and he bobbed his head.“What did you wish for, sweetheart?” I asked with a smile after he blew out his candles, and he beamed before responding.“I wished that you would marry Daddy.” I felt my cheeks burn on hearing his words, however, I wasn't prepared for what happened next.Easton suddenly brought out a ring from his pocket as he got down on one knee.“Mirabella, I know things didn't go well between us in our first marriage, and I know you might not want to marry me because of that, but I promise, this time would be different.

He has been coming here for over a month now even when I kept putting him off.“Do you think I get paid enough to be a messenger? Just see the man already so he can stop coming here!” The guard snapped and I slowly got up from my head.“Fine.” I responded and he opened my cell. He led me towards the phone booth and I reluctantly took a seat, picking up the phone.“What do you want, Lionel?” I asked, trying my best not to roll my eyes at his pitiful face.“I came to check up on you.” He responded and I scoffed.“Shouldn't you be more worried about your other children? They did get hurt after all.” I said with a scoff."If you're concerned about them, then know that they are fine. It's been almost two months since the whole incident, and everyone has moved on. I'm hoping you would too."I scoffed at his words.

He had actually contacted the police all these and had been patiently waiting for their arrival.Logan slowly glanced down at his bleeding stomach before collapsing on the ground.“Put your hands up where we can see them!” One of the officers ordered but Grace just stood still, staring at Logan's unconscious body.“Ma'am we will release fire if you don't put your hands up now.” They warned again and it was then she regained her self consciousness and suddenly aimed the gun at dad but before she could release fire, the police all fired their guns at once, shooting her

Kyle and I will go check it out —”“I will not let my son walk into that building, knowing he might not walk out. I'm coming with you.” Dad insisted and I frowned.

He obviously knew Mirabella's weakness. Kidnapping Alfred was one thing, killing me... It was either he was trying to hurt Mirabella or he was after my parents.I let out a sigh as I walked into the house and saw Mom pacing in the living room.“Easton!” She exclaimed the moment she saw me and hugged me tightly.“Mom, what's wrong?” I asked as I felt her trembling slightly.“I was so worried. That woman came here muttering nonsense about you being in danger and—”“Mom, I'm fine. I'm right here.” I said as I hugged her tightly. I knew she was talking about Nicole and she must have told them about Logan.“Where is dad?

He was already planning on going full rogue, so what's the point of hiding my involvement with him?I paused when I finally got to his study room, however the door was left a bit ajar, and I could hear faint voices coming from within.“We begin the next phase tomorrow. Find a discreet location where the ransom will be collected, somewhere with little to no pedestrian lane and somewhere off camera view.” I heard Logan's voice and furrowed my brows, wondering what they were talking about.“Should we make the call now?” “No. We'll make the ransom call tomorrow as well. I don't need their money since I have more than enough, but it's our only way to draw Easton out. I figured kidnapping the little boy isn't enough.
