***MIRABELLA'S POV***

I sat nervously on the chair as I awaited the hearing to commence.

Easton and I have been working our way into adopting Sandy, and Roman had offered to assist as our attorney. Everything has been settled and now it was time for the court hearing and the final stage which would determine whether or not Sandy would be ours or get sent to an orphanage.

“All rise.” We heard the bailiff announce and the courtroom fell silent as Judge Thompson entered before taking her seat.

Easton and I as well as Roman, took our places at the petitioner table.

“This court is now in session. The matter before us is the adoption petition of Mirabella Brookwood and Easton Grey, seeking to adopt Sandra Willows, a four year old female child. Mr. Lawrence, please proceed." Judge Thompson said, and Roman stood up from his seat.

“Thank you, Your Honor. My clients, Mirabella and Easton are before the court today, seeking to provide a loving and stable home to Sandy, who has been left without

    ***MIRABELLA'S POV***We got to Blakemore Academy shortly and I let out a deep breath.“Easton,” I called and Easton turned to me with a raised brow.“Is something wrong?” He asked and I shook my head."I was just wondering if we would be changing Sandy's last name. Since she's legally ours. " I asked and he seemed thoughtful for a while.“I think we should rush things. Sandy is still young and she might not fully understand her choices now. Let's give her time. By the time she turns sixteen, if she decides she wants to change her name or keep it, then we'll respect her wishes.” Easton responded and I bobbed my head in agreement.We alighted the car and went into the building to get our kids. “Ms. Brookwood.” Helen called when she spotted us. She seemed to be having a little chat with Sandy when we arrived.“It's good to see you, Helen.” I smiled at her.“Thank you both for choosing to take Sandy under your wings.” “It's no big deal. We love her and we owe it to Jerald.” Easton resp

I was about heading out but noticed the door opposite was left ajar.I let out a sigh as I walked up to it and knocked a bit.“Come in.” I heard a response and slowly walked into the room. I was greeted by the harsh smell of cigarettes and the floor had several ashes of burnt out cigarettes. On the table next to the bed, several bottles of alcohol had been emptied out.I frowned.“I thought I told you to let them clean this room once in a while? How can you be comfortable staying in this dumb.” I said with a frown and my mother, Grace, turned to me with a deadpan expression.“What good news do you have for me?” She asked instead, ignoring my complaints.“We have the kid. He's locked up securely.” I responded and she smiled, revealing her ruined teeth from all the smoking and drinking she's been doing.It broke my heart seeing her that way and I sometimes wondered if she would eventually change after we bring th

    ***MIRABELLA'S POV*** I slowly opened my eyes to the sound of a beeping machine. It took a while before I realized I was in a hospital room. “Bella? Bella, my goodness! Roman, get the doctor!” I heard Mom's screaming voice and minutes later, I was being examined by the doctor. “How do you feel?” He asked after removing the lights from my eyes. “I can't move my legs.” I responded weakly as I tried again but couldn't feel my legs. “Yes, well there's nothing to worry about. We had given you an injection to numb the pain for a few hours before taking out the fragments of glass that had entered your legs from the accident.” He explained and I furrowed my brows. “The accident?” I asked and almost immediately, the memories of what happened resurfaced in my head, followed by a killer headache. “Agh!” I winced as I held my head tightly but the headache was the least of my worries right now. “My son! Sandy, Easton! We were all involved in the accident!” I tried to get up but mom

I didn't expect to see you here.” I said with a smile but he simply arched his brows.“I could say the same. Is there something you need?” He asked a bit hostilely.“I heard about the accident and came to check on Mirabella.” I responded and he stared at me for a while before letting me in.“Wait here.” He said and disappeared into the living room while I remained stationed at the entrance.Suddenly, a little girl came running past me but paused the moment she noticed me. She scrutinized me from head to toe before walking up to me.“Who are you, Mr?” She asked politely and I lowered myself a bit to her level.“Hello, nice to meet you little one. I'm Logan.” I said but she just staring at me.“What's your name?” I asked and she shook her head.“I don't think I'm allowed to tell strangers my name.” She responded, just like Alfred and I let out a soft chuckle.

    ***EASTON'S POV*** I stared intently at the monitor as Kyle replayed the surveillance footage for the umpteenth time. We've been going over it for hours now and still haven't found any clues as to the kidnappers identity or where they went. Whoever did this obviously knew there were cameras on the street and had chosen the best angle so as not to get spotted. “There has to be something at least.” I said with a sigh. “We have already been through this multiple times, Easton. What makes you think you'll find anything different from each replay? Just go home and rest. Your mom would have my head if she knew I was letting you work in your condition.” Kyle responded and I let out a heavy sigh. “I know Mirabella. She won't just sit back and do nothing. And I can't sit back and let her do all the work as well. I have to find my son.” I said firmly and Kyle replayed the video again. We had gathered footage from Blakemore Academy down to the crossroad where the accident had happened, and

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.

I knew I shouldn't believe any word that comes out of her mouth but she had mentioned Logan.Thanks to her, I finally confirmed that Logan was involved in the accident but I still couldn't understand why.What did he have against Alfred or against Mirabella that he would want to hurt her. 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?

It's weird now since we're all grown up.” Kiara said, her tone reflecting her displeasure.“What do you want?” Alfred asked in a raspy tone and Kiara scoffed.“It's not even your room, you don't have to be rude!” She snapped and stormed out, slamming the door shut.I let out a heavy sigh of relief, glad that she didn't read too much meaning to our intimate position. I guess they were all so used to seeing Alfred and me this way that they won't even stop to think that there was something else going on.“Why did you stop me from moving away?!” I glared at him but he seemed unfazed.“Why would you move away? It's not like we were doing something wrong. Except you think being here with me is wrong.” He said with a knowing grin and I forcefully pulled his hand away from my waist.“Since you're having fun making me uncomfortable in my own room, you can have it.

I mean get my own apartment since I would be leaving for college soon.” Kiara suggested and Alfred diverted his attention to her.“Your school is not even up to an hour drive away from home. You could stay in the dorms and come back home during the holidays.” He stated firmly and Kiara glared at him.“I was talking to mom!” She snapped and Mrs. Mirabella chuckled.

I pushed all thoughts of Alfred at the back of my mind as I came out of the bathroom. “Long time no see.” I froze on hearing that familiar masculine voice and slowly turned my head towards my bed. I widened my eyes in shock on seeing Alfred comfortably lying on my bed. “Alfred! What the hell are you doing in my room?!” I snapped as I tightened my grip on my towel. He sat up on the bed and turned to me, and I didn't fail to notice how his gaze raked over my body but his expression remained blank. “I figured you wouldn't come to see me so I decided to take the initiative.” He replied while staring intently at me. If only he knew the effect those hazel-green eyes had on me. Why did he have to show up now of all times? “Alfred, get out of my room.” I said, trying to be as calm as possible, however I didn't move an inch from where I stood. I dared not move for the fear of tripping and dropping my towel. “You have never had a

I can't remember when last I had this much fun.” I squeaked and Easton chuckled. “I'll run you a bath and then we could call it a night.” He said and I frowned slightly. “Call it a night?” “You must be exhausted from our tour. 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.

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.
