Kaia was slowly getting fed up by everything life was throwing her way. How was she supposed to continue healing, continue growing from her traumas as well? Was she being selfish for wanting a break from everything happening all at once? Beau and Jen had been by her side no matter what, was it fair that she was getting to a breaking point already? Kaia just wanted things back to normal again, things changing before her just made her very uncomfortable. Leon sat at the far end of the car and listened to Kaia furiously tap on her phone then a call came in, “Hi baby,” there was bit of silence on her end of the line as she listened to other person on the phone, then she snapped, “You listen Beau Navarro, and you listen good. I did not ask you if you could take time, I told you I talked to you secretary and she moved your meetings around. I am on my way to pick you up right now so you better have your laptop bag because I will go without you, trust me on that.” Man, Leon would not want to
“Why are there only two rooms Kay? You do remember Leon and I are not together any more, right?” Kaia loved Jen dearly, but times like these and questions like the one she just asked, the one that made her sound like the most childish piece of shit Kaia knew, made her so, so angry. “Girl, if you do not get out my face with that mess…” Kaia said, sounding like she had way more to say but she would rather keep it to herself. Beau stood close to his wife, always having a hand on some part of her body, just so he could calm her down because he knew for a fact, that his touch calmed her down more than any words any of them could utter. She took a deep breath, handed Leon the key then said, “You guys are adults now, I am sure sharing a room won’t kill either one of you. With the limited time I had to plan this, with this being the best hotel here, I did not want go searching for yet another room elsewhere because this is where I want to stay tonight. Sort your shit out!” Jenny felt like a
In the morning all Jen wanted to do was stay in bed, in Leon’s arms till they had to go back home but the urgent knock on their door had her bolting up and out of bed. Leon slept, not even stirring. That boy could sleep through an entire earthquake, it had never been an easy task for her to try and wake him up and she was not about to try right now, though the urgency of the knock scared her a bit. Se rushed to put the hotel robe on and ran to the door, almost tripping over the clothes they had left scattered haphazardly on the floor. “I do not know what is wrong with Kaia, she just keeps throwing up and I have tried to get her to eat something, but she will not eat anything. She begged me to come wake you, I tried to beg her in turn to let you guys sleep in…” Beau was overly panicked and Jen found it very sweet and cute. “Calm down, Mr. Navarro!” Jen chuckled and she skipped to Kaia’s room, feeling so refreshed and happy, she wondered why Kaia was feeling like crap on such a beaut
Leon and Beau felt humiliated, as they sat in the boutique, holding their women’s handbags as they did some shopping for their outfits for that night. The women working at the boutique giggled as the went about helping these rich women get many outfits, most of which they were sure they would even forget they had gotten. Their husbands were very appealing to the eye and all the girls in the store envied these women. Here, no man of seemingly such great power, would be caught dead shopping or even holding a woman’s bag. This was the dream of every young woman. “Baby, you do know Beau is much richer than me, right?” Leon joked when Jen came out in another outfit and Kaia and her just kept nodding, saying nothing. “How about I ask him to adopt me before you shop away my entire savings, huh?” That made everyone laugh, even the humorless Beau Navarro threw his head back against his seat and laughed at the look on Leon’s face. “You want me to be the hottest girl in the club, right babe?”
Last night had been the best night for Beau, having never gone clubbing even back in his varsity years. Growing up in the Navarro family had been hell enough and Beau was not in the mood at all to party like a teenager, even though he practically was one. He was also thankful that Kaia had shown no signs of being sick last night. That gratitude was short lived though because he woke up to find his wife’s side of the bed drenched in her sweat. He panicked again like he had yesterday, but today he decided not to wake Jen up. Kaia woke up with a throbbing headache and yet again, a queasy stomach, hating herself for those three glasses of cocktails she had forced down as a way to not make Beau and Jen worry about her when all she wanted was to just curl up in bed and sleep. She had felt horrible and still did. The fever attacking her body being all the evidence she needed that she needed to rest. She was not expecting to wake up with Beau starring down at her with such worry though. Th
Nothing else mattered to Beau and nothing else could ruin this perfect moment. Yes, Kaia was not feeling okay at the moment but she had no idea how happy she had just made him. He sat on his of the bed and just watched her sleep, she looked so peaceful he just wanted to cuddle even closer to her. As peaceful as she looked, Beau had a nagging feeling in the pit of his stomach. That's when the dreadful call came in. "I came to your house to check on the kids and they say their nanny took Luna and left." Jen's mother seemed panicked and at the Beau wondered why. "Maybe they just took a walk," even as he said it, it did not make sense why she would take Luna and leave Kim. "What time did they leave?" "No one knows Beau, they just said one minute the nanny was there with both the girls, this was early morning, then later when Kim woke up from her nap, they noticed they were both missing. That got Beau's attention fast and he sprang up from the bed. He hoped this was not as bad as it sou
Jen and Kaia sat cuddled in one seat throughout the flight back home. Kaia could not bring any words to come out of her, she just kept imagining Luna in the worst case scenarios and tears would not stop running down her face. Right now all she felt was a gut wrenching pain, she was scared to death of what Luna must be going through. Beau stayed on the phone, now talking as low as possible to make sure Kaia would not hear the hopelessness in his voice at this point. Jaden, his head of security had checked out the cameras all around the house and all they knew at this point was that a car with no number plates had stopped to pick the nanny up with Luna in her arms and a bag, which they assumed was filled with Luna's clothes and toys. Jaden had filled the cops in on the situation at the Navarro house and Beau was getting irritated at the amount of calls he was getting, making him repeat everything over and over again. What he wanted right now was to pull Kaia close to him and just feel
Kaia could not be bothered to even get up or move to make space for Jen. Leon on the other hand felt like a third wheel in what felt like a family matter even as Beau pulled him into his office. "You are said to be the best in tech Leon Micheals, can you trace these text messages. I will make sure you are fully compensated for the trouble. I just need my child back home or Kaia will slowly die inside. She's already going crazy and so am I!" Leon understood how desperate Beau was but could not help but feel offended that he would even suggest payment. "Beau I will help in any way I can, but I do not need any kind of compensation. I might be a child and not have any of my own but you guys have grown to be like family to me. Luna's safety is my priority too right now." Beau sat in his chair, looking angry and defeated at the same time. He took a deep breathe, realizing that what Leon was saying made sense and also sensing his offense. Touching the bridge of his nose, Beau felt the need
