Chapter 26: JACE

last update Last Updated: 2022-10-26 14:19:03
What the fuck? Mom was nervous as hell. Dad and I exchanged a look, because it wasn't often we saw that shit and I was starting to wonder why the hell my mom, who was the reigning queen of Eden would be this nervous.

Dad just shook his head and muttered something about 'women', under his breath. We both followed our women in and stood in the doorway looking in.

You see the thing is, mom doesn't act this way around anyone else except dad and I and Marisa.

She's usually more reserved no matter who the person is. She's had to learn over the years that everyone who smiled wasn't necessarily your friend.

"How about a cookie dear, they're macadamia nut."

"Is there white chocolate?"

"Of course, otherwise what's the point?"

"Ooh yum you better start me off with two then." Mom was grinning from ear to ear. She gave Si the cookies and milk and came back out to me and dad.

"She eats cookies, a seventeen year old girl that looks like that and eats cookies. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

    Dinner was an experience with my parents vying for the top spot. It was fun watching them fight over her attention. It was also good to see the girl who had freaked out at the grandeur of my home, treat my parents like an old aunt and uncle that she'd known for years. What the fuck happened in that phone call anyway?She got dad's jokes and shared mom's obsession with coma inducing literature. It was a good fit.Mom and dad gave me the stamp of approval, which was a kiss to her head from each as they said goodnight and left us for the next hour.I had half expected it, wanted it, but it was good to have it."Your parents are amazing, nothing at all like I expected.""Oh? What did you expect?" I pulled her down on the couch next to me in the living room. She was so relaxed now that she didn't even bat a lash at all the awards and trophies and shit that lined the walls."I have a confession to make." She bit her lip, looking nervous again, but I had learned not to second-guess he

    "Are you okay? What was that about?" Belle and Tammy found me walking down the hall, looking a tad bit lost after my little run in with Jace."Ohhhh, I see." She tugged on the end of the shirt that I was now wearing or more like shrouded in."Is he always like this?" I think I was in shock. After the way we'd ended things last night I was looking forward to seeing his face this morning. The excitement was almost more than I could bear.He'd been sweet, attentive and funny. Things had gone much better than I could've imagined with his parents, and the necking on the couch still gave me that warm feeling in my tummy.The only blemish on the night had been the strange car that seemed to be following us when he drove me home, but which I didn't mention because in the end I decided it was my overactive imagination at work.So, our first date had been a success as far as I could tell and I was full of hope for the future.Now I'm a spectacle walking down the hall while everyone looks a

    There is a sense of forever, but you worry that forever might not last. Then you wonder how you could possibly move on from someone as beautiful as this. At least that was my worry.What if we didn't work? What if he decides one day that I'm not enough? It's only been a few days, but a few days with Jace feels like half a lifetime.It's the way he talks I think, like he's so sure of himself, he's so together, he knows what he wants, and he wants me.I could easily believe that this, what we have, what we're beginning to have, is like what my parents found with each other all those years ago. I can almost feel it deep inside. But can I trust that feeling? Or was it just a case of he's the first guy I've ever dated? I didn't like that thought.As silly as it may seem, I couldn't imagine not being with him. He was just so perfect and I was so scared, afraid to mess this up before we even had a chance."Let's get you to class, they're about to ring the bell." He pulled me under his ar

    She'd come close to feeling my anger this morning. I'd seen the look of confusion on her face when I walked away. There were a whole lot of pockets to me I know, and it wasn't fair that she wasn't going to get the time she might need to figure them all out.My make up doesn't allow for my girl to get away with certain things so she was going to have to catch on real quick to avoid tripping the wrong wire.I'd walked away from Mandy without an explanation. That's my ammo, you fuck with me I cut you off without a backward glance, don't have time for bullshit apologies.Sian was never going to have that; if she fucks with me she'll either get her ass spanked or her neck broken. Funny that the one I cared for the most had the worst fate.Seeing her dressed the way she was had tripped one of those wires. I've been watching her for the past two days so I've seen other guys looking too. That's a big fucking no-no.There were some here who wouldn't think twice about challenging me, and

    I met with the guys just before lunch period. I'd sent out an SOS that they were to meet me in the locker room, the one place I knew we were bound to have privacy from prying eyes and ears.They straggled in one by one. I waited 'til they were all here and I had their full attention."Okay listen up, I'm pretty sure by now that all of you know that Sian is mine. You also know that Mandy and her bitch patrol have already started their shit.There's a worry that they're planning something against my girl. I don't have any details on that as yet, but I'm not taking any chances.I don't need to tell you that this isn't going to go down like all the other bullshit that we let happen before. If she touches her, she's done.So before we get to that point, here's what we're going to do. A total and complete freeze out!" I looked at each of them in the eye so they know that this was serious, no room for fuck-ups.We've only ever been here when it came to the game, so they knew that if I w

    Not something that should be taken lightly, but since I was seriously leaning towards being the only man to ever go there, I didn't see the problem.I can't believe I'm worried about a girl's innocence. Not worried so much as wanting to make sure that when I take it that it's perfect for her.I wanted her, for the rest of our lives together, to look back on the experience at least fondly. As soon as I handled this bullshit. No pressure though. ***I looked around the room to get the lay of the land so to speak, after placing the tray down on the table between us.The cafeteria is like the hotspot for school dynamics. I felt like I was navigating a fucking mine field. When had my life become this thing?Mandy and her girls were very interested in what was going on at our table, but my boys were already on the ball.Sometimes I forget that half of them were aspiring actors or had already had a few shows and commercials under their belt.I could see that the girls were a bit flus

    All this new stuff is going way too fast. Well not too fast in a bad way, just…there was no warning.One minute Belle and I were plotting escape routes for when the new jock showed up, and the next, we were sitting at the head table.Even more than a seat with the cheerleaders, a seat at Jace's table was coveted. It was a blessing and a curse.I got to be close to Shane and…I got to be close to Shane. The only time I was relaxed around him is when I was tutoring him, then I felt like we were at least on even footing.But sitting here next to him with everyone else around, I felt exposed. "You okay Tam, you're not eating."Tam, who would've thought being referred to as a Scottish hat could be so sexy?"I'm fine just a lot on my mind that's all. I did something really stupid today; well not stupid exactly, I don't regret dong it, but I know they're gonna come after me now.""Who's gonna come after you and why?" he asked the question as his gaze went straight to Mandy's table.I w

    "Jace, I don't need all this stuff I…""Shh, baby, you're being rude, now look at this next outfit." He tapped my hand as I turned to look at the latest offer.My mouth fell open and I blinked at him when I saw the kickass winter white pant suit that I knew was a limited edition D&G because I'd seen it in one of mom's invitation only runway show magazines."Sometimes mom and dad like to throw parties, no special reason. Mom would just get up one day and decide that she wants to have a house or a backyard full of people and she'd call everyone we know and invite them over.Thankfully she doesn't do it too often these days since dad brought it to her attention that, as his wife, no one is prepared to turn down an invitation from her, and so people have been disrupting their lives to accommodate her for years.With that said, the woman is a menace and though she tries to control herself, we still have a situation every so often.

    They looked around the room at each other until Logan nodded his head. I guess that was the go ahead because Mancini took point again."What we're about to share with you doesn't leave this room. We've come together along with some other friends that you didn't get to meet this time, to form a kind of group if you will.""Each of us serves a purpose in this group. It's also top secret, which you should understand." He looked at Track and I moved to stand in front of him. "It's okay Jace, he knows.""I'm not working for the government, no disrespect." I looked at the SEALs. The men in the room started to smile. I wasn't sure what the fuck they were, but it wasn't hard to tell that they were something. What with the compound that was more secure that the Pentagon."That's not who we are. What we propose, if we all agree is that you boys become part of our elite group. We'll fill you in on all the pertinent details a little later once you get on board. If not we can stop this lit

    I just held her and let her get it out, knowing that she'd be right as rain in no time. "Come on baby, let's get you dried and dressed." I turned off the water and lifted her to take her out of the shower."Jace, do you ever regret marrying me?" I want to answer this shit for the one hundredth time. What is it with women? The guys were all complaining about the same thing, except for Alex who was always smiling these days, the fuck."Sian, just like I told you yesterday and the day before that, even if I live to be a hundred, I won't ever regret the best decision I ever made.""But we're so young." I rolled my eyes and dried her feet that she couldn't hardly see anymore. "Does that mean that you regret it because you're younger than I am?"That one always stumps her but she still asks the same damn question over and over. So I knew what was coming next. "But it's not the same for men.""That's not sexist or anything. I should start worrying as often as you ask me that. Maybe

    Not scared like a punk, more like amazed at the shit these fucks can get up to. So when he so casually mentioned something that he should have no knowledge of, I got the sense there was much more left unsaid. I'm sure a man of his caliber wasn't just wasting his time on some kid that he didn't even know."I sense a catch.""No catch, I just think you're wasted on those fucknuts is all. Anytime you're ready give me a ring." He'd rang off after that but there was no mistaking the smile in his voice. I'm pretty sure he knew that I was going to look into him.And that was my reason for being hesitant about taking Jace with me. I'd got a glimpse of where those SEALs live and I have the feeling that shit would only give Jace ideas. He was already making noise about building a place like the one on the island where we all could live. The kid's a damn hippie at heart.***JACE***"Track wants us to go to Georgia to meet his sister. We're going this weekend if you're not too sick

    I didn't feel shit when I put pressure on his neck. Everything was happening so fast. Sian was screaming, finally giving into the fear and Track was trying to talk me down."I told you not to touch her you fuck. Did you forget?" I tightened my arm around his neck, adding just the right amount of pressure and barely restrained myself from doing more "I'm going to break your fucking neck.""Jace no, let him go, he's not worth it." I ignored Track and twisted my arm quick, snapping Stanley's neck. "Call the cops.""Fuck Jace! What the fuck did I say?""Call the cops.""No, let me think let me clean this up. Shane, Alex bar the door make sure no one gets by..." I hadn't even heard the others rush in behind me. But turned to see them now with horror in their eyes. "He's not dead Track his neck's just broken. Call the cops." I dropped Stanley on the floor just as the men who were supposed to be watching the school came through the door."What took you guys so long?""He didn

    For now, it was fine. For the next nine months I knew she was going to keep me on my toes. We had an appointment with the best Obstetrician of course, who'd been vetted to within an inch of her life before I agreed.I was trying to make it so that she only had to worry about school and giving birth, other than that I was there to pick up the slack. I had the fridge in our suite stocked with all the things she's been asking for lately and hoping for smooth sailing.I was getting used to waking up with her in the morning to hold her hair while she threw up. Then her horny ass would need a fix on the bathroom floor after a quick nap.Other than that, there was no sign that her tiny ass was even pregnant. Of course she's decided that she can get away with shit now, because I can't fix her ass, but I have other ways of keeping her ass in line.That Monday as soon as we'd reached the school yard the whispers started. It wasn't long before we heard the whole story of Mandy being dropp

    Mom came down with a tray of something in her hands instead of letting one of the servants do it."Hey mom, how come you're doing this yourself?""I don't know. We didn't go to the shelter this year because we've invited everyone, so I guess I'm feeling a little bit guilty.""Didn't you donate all the food this year? I'm sure they don't mind us missing one year mom, we'll go for Xmas, and make everyone that's here today come with us.""Sounds good son. By the way, I'm going to let you off the hook for telling your dad before you told me.""Shit, mom...""It's okay, he explained. By the way her parents know so you two don't have to keep putting it off any longer.""How?""Veronica is a mother son. We both figured something was going on that day in the hospital.""Well, that's all good and well but Sian has decided she's never telling her dad. She doesn't want him to know she's having sex."Mom thought that shit was hilarious but the rest of my crew, except for Track,

    With Mandy behind bars, all I needed was to find Stanley to tie her into the attack on Sian. I need that to put her away for the rest of her life.I'd been leaving clues and making anonymous phone calls to the cops for a while. Once I'd contacted the men she'd been extorting and told them the truth about her age, some of them were more than happy to come forward. The only ones that tried to hold out were the married ones. Some of them I let slide, like Cassie's dad. But the others I put the squeeze on.That's why I'd needed her phone and the stuff that she left behind when she got kicked out of her house. My team had already confiscated it all. That, along with the computer stick Liz had mailed me, were locked away in my safe. Everything except the phone which had been mailed to the cops. I was still protecting Carter, but I had to do it for Cassie's sake.The ones that did have sex with her when she was underage, their names had been handed over to the cops. There were going

    I drove down the driveway slowly with the lights off. There was one light on in the house and I wasn't surprised that it was in Sian's room. I got out of the truck and looked around at the dark night.It would be so easy... But I couldn't do anything here, not where my girl's family slept. Instead I walked around back. How did she get in anyway? And how do I get in without alerting her to the fact that I was here. I wasn't left wondering long.The alarm hadn't been set because of the workers going back and forth, which was an oversight. No one expects to be robbed in this neighborhood, but still. I knew it wasn't on since the night I'd come back here for her medicine, but hadn't thought much of it. Missed that one.I walked up the stairs, being as quiet as I could and stepped into Sian's bedroom door. Mandy was sitting on the bed, the new bed that replaced the one that had been burned in the explosion."What are you doing here?" It was obvious what she was doing. The door to Si

    I'd been so excited I'd forgotten to score some drugs. I hadn't seen a male anywhere in that stupid place anyway, that might've been willing to help me, so it was most likely a bust. I sat in the car and formulated my next move in my head. How can I get close enough to do what I have to do? There was no way to get onto the Saunders' property without being noticed.Unless...No they've had the same domestic staff for a while, they probably know each one on sight. How can I get there? I don't have anything suitable, anything that would disguise me until I got close enough. Close enough to destroy her, that bitch.I drove around for a while still no closer to a solution. Thanksgiving was in two days. Another thought hit me. It was something I'd learned about Jace and his family even before we dated. When he still used to act like I didn't exist. When I used to read anything I could get my hands on about the ultra-wealthy family. Yes, that would be perfect. I'd forgotten all abou
