~ Audrey ~
“Ouch, ouw ,ouw!”
Audrey yelped and grimaced as she was hunched over the shower. She was attempting to shave areas of her body that she had never touched before. There was a lot of screaming, a little bit of blood, and a whole lot of frustration.
Ah, the things I do for love.
It took her almost two hours to finally finish the job. Once she was satisfied with the result, she moved on to lotion and make up. Audrey was nervous, but more than that, she was excited. She’d read plenty of books about romance, and she had always wondered what making love would feel like.
Tonight, I’ll finally know.
By 6 PM that night, Audrey was ready for war. She looked at her reflection in the mirror and smiled in satisfaction. She looked great, she thought. Her long brown hair was curled loosely, her lips were red and plump, and she was wearing a pair of cute lace underwear she bought specially for this occasion. She draped a simple little black dress on top and completed the look with black leather heels.
This is as ready as I’m gonna get.
Shoving her nervous thoughts aside, Audrey turned to her heels and grabbed her purse. She checked the contents, making sure she got everything she needed. She got her phone, wallet, some make up, a card key to the suite room at the Plaza Hotel, and several packs of condoms.
Audrey had gotten herself on the pill, but seeing as this was her first time, she wanted to be extra careful. All those years of ‘abstinence is key’ really got into her head and a baby, as cute as they may be, was the last thing she needed right now.
It’s go time, she said to herself as she reached for the door. Time to swipe the V-card.

“Woah, what is this?” Ashton gaped and dropped his duffel bag on the floor.
His eyes scanned the marble floor and gold wallpaper all around the room. Audrey stood in her little dress underneath the chandelier, capturing Ashton’s gaze. She smiled a seductive smile, the one she had been practicing all day long.
“It’s our special night, just as promised,” she said as she stalked towards him.
“Damn,” Ashton chuckled, he really couldn’t believe his luck. “Babe, this place is amazing,”
Audrey walked around, circling Ashton’s tall body, and stood right behind him. She put her hands around his neck and slowly slipped him out of his basketball jacket, asking him, “So, how was the game?” and she threw the jacket on the floor.
“It sucked so bad. We got trashed,” he groaned. “I don’t wanna talk about it,”
“Great,” she said as she stood in front of him. “’Cause we’re not here to talk, are we?”
She looked up at him and he looked down at her. His lips twitched into a smirk and his tongue instinctively went to lick his lips as his eyes became clouded. Audrey couldn’t stop the smile forming on her lips as Ashton’s hands landed on her hips. He pulled her closer and his hand traveled to her back, finding the dress zipper. She heard the sound of the zipper being pulled down and she felt cold air hitting her back. The flimsy dress fell and pooled around her feet.
Ashton stepped back and admired the view. His hands roamed her petite body and stopped at her black lace bra. He let out an appreciative groan as he started massaging her small firm breasts. She tipped her head back and moaned softly.
“You’re not gonna back out of this, are you?” Ashton asked with his head cocked to the side.
“No,” she said firmly. “Tonight’s the night,”
He smiled at her answer. Not wasting his time, Ashton picked her up with ease and carried her towards the bed. As soon as her back hit the mattress, Ashton’s lips crashed down on her. He kissed her hungrily, like he was desperate for it.
His hands moved to unclasped her bra and he pulled them off of her. His rough calloused hands grabbed her tits tightly, causing her to whimper in pain.
“Ashton…” she protested, pushing him back slightly.
He didn’t mind her protest. He traded his hands with his mouth, his tongue swirled around her nipple and he sucked hard on both of them. His free hands went roam down her body. He cupped her ass cheeks with a firm grip and let out a muffled groan.
“Slow down, Ash…” she said as she sucked in a deep breath.
Ashton did not slow down. He yanked her underwear off completely and staggered back to pull his pants down in one swift move. He hastily kicked them off his legs and pulled his striped boxer underwear off.
Audrey gasped and took note of Ashton’s length as he started stroking it. They were in a dimly lit room the other night, so Audrey never got a good look at it. He was a decent size, above average, maybe 6 and a half inches. Looking at him now, Audrey could see everything in detail. Everything from the glistening tip to the veins popping on its side.
“C… condom?” Audrey muttered when she saw how hard he was getting.
Ashton fished a silver pack from his pants pocket and grinned, as if to say he got it all covered.
“Hmm, I’ve been waiting for this for so long,” he grunted as he continued stroking.
I bet I’ve waited longer, she said to herself.
After rolling the condom down and pinching the tip, Ashton smiled victoriously and said, “Lay back, babe,”
Audrey nodded and complied. She swallowed hard as he strode towards her and pulled her legs further apart, positioning himself right above her slits. Audrey looked up at him and saw that Ashton’s eyes were hooded with lust. Audrey suddenly felt nervous and scared.
“Hey, wait—“
But before she could say anything, his lips crashed down to hers and he forced his tongue down her mouth, causing her to almost gag. Audrey squirmed to protest, but to no avail. He was kissing her so roughly, Audrey was taken aback. This was not how Ashton normally kissed her.
Who is this person?
Suddenly and without warning, Audrey felt his tip entering her tight hole and her body jerked in response. It felt weird and uncomfortable, Audrey wanted to move away. Ashton groaned disapprovingly and he held onto her hips and pulled her back, not allowing her to escape this time.
“Ash, it hurts,” she whined as he tried to push himself in again.
“Stay still,” he barked as if it was an order. She was squirming and writhing so much, it was hard for him to enter her. “It’s supposed to hurt the first time,” he said again.
“Ash…” a single tear trickled down her face. He really was hurting her. “Please, slow down…”
Ashton bit his bottom lip and sighed in frustration. He pulled away from her and she sighed in relief. But Audrey’s sense of comfort was short lived because Ashton suddenly said, “Turn around,”
His tone was serious and demanding. Audrey swallowed hard. A part of her wondered if this was too late to change her mind. Audrey could imagine that Ashton would be so frustrated if she did. So although she wasn’t sure about doing this anymore, she chastised herself for chickening out.
No, pull it together! I have to keep going!
And so, Audrey soldiered on. She turned around so that her stomach was on the bed and her ass was sticking out. Ashton gripped her hips and pulled them higher, exposing herself completely to him. Using one hand, he parted her ass cheeks further for easier access. Audrey was squirming again a little, and Ashton responded by tightening his grip.
“I said, stay still!”
Audrey stayed completely still, wishing he would get this over with quickly and painlessly. Ashton wanted to be inside her quickly too, but the nerves were getting to him, so he got a little soft. He rubbed himself as hard as he could and before long, he was hard again. Not wanting to miss his chance, Ashton pushed himself into her as deep as he could in one hard thrust. She screamed and winced in pain, but he was more worried about getting it in. It took him a little while, but he finally broke her barrier. Once he was completely inside her, blood trickled out of her and Ashton was lost in his desire. His movements were rushed and frantic. He couldn’t help himself.
“Wait, Ashton, stop, it hurts,” she cried.
“It’ll get better. You’re gonna like it,” he kept going relentlessly.
“Ashton… please…”
“Mmm, babe, that feels so good,”
Ashton ignored her cries and pleas. Her voice and tears drowned into the sheets as he kept plunging himself into her. Her nails dug into bed, hoping for some relief, but it only got worse. Audrey scrunched her eyes shut, and though she couldn’t see anything, she could hear everything. The sound of skin slapping and his ragged breaths and grunts.
Ouw. Ouw. It hurts. Hurts really bad.
“Ugh, babe, your virgin hole is so tight, fúck,”
Ouw. Ouw. Please stop. Oh God.
“Oh, “Babe! Oh!”
Ouw. Ouw. Ouw.
Audrey kept her eyes shut and held in the pain. All she could do now was hope that it would be over soon. And maybe the Gods were taking mercy on her, because not even a minute later, everything suddenly ended. It was all over, just as she wished.

“Welcome to the sinners’ club, sister,” Mikey said in a singsong way.
Audrey rolled her eyes as her two best friends entered her living room. She was lying on her couch in her fluffy onesie pajamas and a wool blanket, doing everything she could to comfort herself after last night.
Mikey had a bottle of champagne in his hand and he did a little dance, twerking his way to the couch. He was in a celebratory mood, eager to welcome his best friend into the Ho Ho club, he called it. Meanwhile, Olivia shook her head and rolled her eyes, walking behind Mikey with a box of cupcakes in her hand.
“So glad to finally have you on our side,” Mikey gave Audrey a quick kiss on the cheek before sitting down. “Now it’s your turn Liv, get yourself on Tinder or Coffee Meets Bagel and get them bagels,”
“Ugh, ew, I don’t even wanna know what that means,” Olivia shuddered.
“Don’t,” Audrey warned her. “It’s not worth it,”
“What? Was it bad?” Olivia asked.
Audrey was trying to reach the box of cupcakes on the table, but even reaching out her hand made the muscles in her back tighten. She winced in pain as Olivia pushed the box towards her.
“It was… awful. And I was hurting the entire time. The entire three minutes,” Audrey sighed and she finally reached her favorite red velvet cupcake.
“That short?” Mikey asked.
“At least it was short. That was the best thing about that night,”
“That bad?” Olivia asked.
“Imagine someone shoving their entire five fingers into your nose. Just jabbing at it. Now that times a hundred,”
Olivia glanced at her fingers and placed them in front of her nose. She almost stuck them in too, if it wasn’t for Audrey’s quick hand that slapped it away.
“It was like moist flesh rubbing aggressively over an open wound…” Audrey shivered as she remembered the experience.
“Oh, honey, it’s not supposed to hurt that bad, is it?” Mikey grimaced.
“I don’t know, you’ve done this before, you tell me,”
“Baby girl, we have different holes, different sets of equipment,” Mikey said matter-of-factly. “Did you use any lube?”
“No, was I supposed to?”
“Yeah, if your cat’s not wet enough, or if your man’s not makin’ it rain, you know what I mean?”
“How do I know if it’s wet enough?”
“Girl, you’re barking at the wrong tree here,” Mikey put both his hands up in surrender. “The Lord knows He did not give me those parts,”
Audrey turned to Olivia and the girl only shrugged, “Don’t look at me. All I’m picturing is a cat under the rain,”
It was hopeless asking her two best friends for sex advice. One of them was gay and a thirteen year old girl would be more experienced than the other one.
“Ugh. And it was so awkward... There were limbs… everywhere,” she shuddered.
Suddenly, the thought of Caspian Vanderbilt offering her tips crossed her mind. She didn’t want to admit it, but she was secretly regretting the fact that she never got those tips.
“It’s not Ashton’s first time, is it? Isn’t he supposed to be able to… help you out?” Mikey asked.
Audrey thought it for a moment. Ashton had mentioned that he lost his virginity back in high school. Supposedly, he had plenty of experience with this already. But as she remembered moments from last night, she realized how different Ashton was compared to his normal self.
“Maybe he was just nervous... I don’t know,” she shrugged.
“Hey, it’ll get better,” Olivia smiled positively. “Just like everything in life, practice makes perfect, right?”
“Does that mean I have to do it again?” Audrey groaned and smacked herself into a throw pillow. “Why don’t you just shoot me in the head and get it over with!”
Her friends couldn’t help but laugh a little at Audrey’s expense. After all, best friends were the ones that would laugh at your misery, but stayed the entire night with you afterward.
“Damn, for the first time in my life, I’m so glad I’m not a girl,” Mikey huffed.
“And for the first time in my life, I’m so glad I’m still a virgin,” Olivia followed.
Audrey shook her head and buried her face with more cupcakes. As much as she regretted what happened last night, she couldn’t do anything to change that. And more than regret, Audrey was disappointed. She thought her first time with Ashton would be magical. After all, their love story was like something out of a fairytale book.
She was walking mindlessly down the halls at school one day, and a guy bumped into her, causing her to drop her books. He helped her collect her books and introduced himself, “Hi, I’m Ashton. Nice to meet you… or to bump into you,”
He had one of those smiles that could get you weak in the knees. It was impossible for Audrey not to shook his hand and said, “I’m Audrey. Nice to bump into you too,”
Ashton was like one of those prince charming guys she would about in books. He was sweet, caring, and ambitious, everything she wanted in a man. The past six months with him were some of the best times of her life. She had such high expectations, so it was a huge letdown that the sex turned out to be… blah.
Oh, God. I’m so going to hell for this… and I didn’t even cúm.

~ Audrey ~ The next day, Audrey woke up to a strange feeling between her legs. She stirred in bed and rubbed her legs together, but it wasn’t doing any good. She didn’t know how to put it in words, but Audrey was feeling like she needed something. Some type of release. And no, not the bathroom kind. No, it was the kind of clenching in the lower stomach that she had been feeling ever since her first night with Ashton. It started when they were about to have sex, and sadly she never got the release she needed. Audrey thought about it for a moment and a wild idea crossed her mind. She got up and ran towards her closet, digging deep into the piles of boxes on the corner of the room. She found the white box she was looking for and stared at it for a second, before slowly opening the lid and picking the white machine up carefully. Perhaps this is a useful g
~ Audrey ~“I’ll kill him for you if you want. Just say the word,” Caspian cracked his neck and knuckles in a sadistic manner. He didn’t look like he was joking, and Audrey trembled a little just by looking at him.“You’re not killing anyone,” Killian said sternly, his eyes fixed on Audrey. “No one is killing anyone,”Caspian was pacing around the room, seething, while Killian was on the couch with Audrey, the first aid kit was right next to him. He was leaning down, assessing the severity of Audrey’s knee wound. It wasn’t a deep cut, he sighed in relief. Using a little bit of alcohol, Killian slowly and gently cleaned her wound.“So, what? We just gonna let it slide?” Caspian scoffed.“We’ll do something about it. Just not manslaughter,” Killian replied
~ Audrey ~“What girl? Please, I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Ashton tried to deny it.Audrey let out a scoff. Ashton did not know this, but Audrey was watching the entire event unfolding. She was sitting comfortably inside the Vanderbilt’s limousine. In her lap was an iPad hooked up to the CCTV camera.She saw everything that was happening inside the room, and Audrey wondered for the first time in her life, how did she ever fall in love with a guy like him.“Audrey Huntington is not a girl you mess around with, you understand?” Killian replied rather sternly. Audrey smiled a little when she heard this.Meanwhile, Ashton swallowed hard as his worst nightmare was coming to life. Killian then noticed that Ashton’s eyes kept glancing over to that fern. Smiling a smug smile, he walked over to the fern and pushed the
- - - - - ONE MONTH LATER - - - - -~ Audrey ~“I need you to attend this party Saturday night,” Audrey’s dad spoke in a commanding tone. “The doctors told me I need to be on bed rest, so I need you to go in my place,”“I have exams and homework, dad,” Audrey groaned. She was hoping for a chill and quiet weekend this week, a little of Ben and Jerry’s and a lot of Netflix. “And what party?”“It’s John and Anna Vanderbilt’s 30th wedding anniversary,” her dad replied. “They’re doing a little celebration out in their Hampton home,”Audrey’s eyes shot up at the mention of those names. Those were Caspian and Killian’s parents. If it were their parents’ wedding anniversary, that meant the brothers would be there too. Audrey hadn’t seen the brothers around lately since Killian was busy with work, and Caspian was busy with whatever he was busy with. She had a great time when they hung out last, so perhaps going to this party and meeting the brothers wouldn’t be such a bad idea?“It’s just a li
~ Audrey ~ Inside the butler’s kitchen and away from the party, Caspian had his pants unbuckled and it was slightly down, but not all the way. He was facing the counter, and in front of him was Alessandra with her dress hiked up. She was bent to a ninety degree angle against the counter. He had one hand covering her mouth, and the other hand was smacking her bare ass. * SMACK! * SMACK! * Audrey’s eyes were as wide as saucers when she realized what they were doing. Caspian was pounding himself mercilessly into Alessandra like a savage beast. His hands were gripping her ass as his length thrust into her again and again. “Oh, yes, baby, fúck me!” Alessandra squealed and moaned. Caspian let out a grunt and fucked her harder. Alessandra came down screaming within seconds. Caspian then pulled himself out and aligned himself on Alessandra’s other whole. Audrey wanted to look away, but she couldn’t. It was like watching a car wreck you couldn’t turn away from. “Oh, yes, fúck my ass!” Al
~ Audrey ~“Who is Audrey Huntington, the girl who stole Cara Armisen’s boyfriend?” Mikey read the headline of today’s People Magazine. Audrey’s face was photographed on the cover, next to Cara and Killian.“Ugh, please, stop!” Audrey groaned, flushing her head into her pillow dramatically.Mikey sat on the edge of the bed with the magazine in hand, reading, “Spotted at a party in the Hamptons, Cara Armisen was seen leaving the premises in tears as boyfriend danced with real estate heiress Audrey Huntington. Cara then posted a selfie on Instagram, telling her fans that she was now officially single,”“My goodness, what a tea!” Olivia followed, giggling along with Mikey.“Guys, stop, it’s not funny!” Audrey threw her pillow at her friends, but they dodged it easily.
~ Killian ~Killian was lost in his thoughts. Ever since a little kid, he was always a thinker while Caspian was more of a doer. Before making any big decision, Killian would think of all the consequences and the thousand different ways he could achieve his goal without lifting a finger. Unlike Caspian, who would do something and think about the consequences later. Also unlike Caspian who thought of work as a chore, the business was like a game to Killian, and he loved the game.Today was a normal day, like any other day, and Killian was already in the office from the early hours of the morning. He was prepping himself for another big meeting this afternoon. He was buying out small paper companies around the city to create a monopoly over the market. His ritual before every big meeting was to smoke one cigarette. Just one. And he would use those quiet three minutes as the cigarette burn to think of his execution.&nb
~ Audrey ~ It was a long ride from the airport to the place they were staying at. Feeling bored, Audrey glanced to her side where Killian was still busy on his phone. She took note of his gorgeous profile, piercing blue eyes, and the way the sunset hit his skin made it seemed like he was glowing. Gosh, he’s so beautiful. Audrey remembered the night they danced at his parents’ wedding anniversary. Although she was telling everybody that it was just a friendly dance, deep down inside, she was hoping it wasn’t. There was something about the way he moved, he moved so powerfully, yet so elegantly. It was impossible to stand in front of him and not be mesmerized by his eyes and his smile. Although it was just a simple slow dance, Audrey’s heart was racing like a speed car and she felt butterflies in her stomach. After Ashton, she thought she wouldn’t be able to feel butterflies again, but she felt it. She remembered the exact moment too, it was when Killian put a hand on the small of her
- - - - - THREE YEARS LATER - - - - - ~ Killian ~ “Alright baby, it’s your first day, are you excited?” “Yes!” Grace squealed in excitement. She was wearing her favorite dress and her hair tied up in a ponytail. She also got her pink backpack and Princess lunchbox with her. Today was her first day in kindergarten. Audrey and Killian were dropping her off in front of the school. Some other kids were crying because they didn’t want their parents to leave them with a bunch of adult strangers, but not Gracie. She was fearless, like her mother. “We’ll be back in a few hours to pick you up,” Killian said and kissed the top of Grace’s head. “Listen to your teachers, be nice to your friends, and have fun,” Audrey added. “Yes, I will!” Grace exclaimed and waved her hands. “Bye, mommy. Bye, daddy!” “Bye, baby. We’ll see you again soon,” Audrey and Killian waved back as Grace raced to the doors. Her teachers were greeting her and she greeted them back politely. “I can’t believe she’s i
- - - - - ALTERNATE ENDING - - - - - ~ Caspian ~ “Daddy, daddy!” Caspian opened his eyes to see Grace looking straight at him. Her little hands that were the size of ravioli were resting on his face. She was tapping him lightly, wanting to wake him up. “Mmhm,” Caspian groaned and turned around. He was teasing Grace on purpose. “Daddy, wake up!” she protested. Taking after his daddy, Grace was a persistent girl. She climbed up the bed and climbed on top of Caspian’s body. He was laughing to himself as Grace struggled and got on top of him. “Daddy!” she exclaimed happily as she sat on Caspian’s chest. “Hey, good morning, you,” Caspian chuckled and opened his eyes in defeat. “Good morning, daddy,” Grace was laughing triumphantly and hugging his neck. “Did mommy send you to wake me up?” “Uh-huh,” she giggled. She had her mom’s smile and that made Caspian smile. “Where is she?” he asked. Grace pointed to the floor, meaning downstairs. “Alright, let’s go get her,” Caspian got
~ Audrey ~ “Sweetheart, you’re making all my dreams come true,” Killian’s words made Audrey’s heart swell. Her eyes softened and glazed over. Her hand reached for his face and her thumb caressed his skin. Their eyes were locked onto each other and she stared at Killian as if her life depended on it. “I love you so much, Kill,” she whispered. Killian leaned down and kissed her in response. His kiss was so tender and deep, Audrey couldn’t help the tear falling from her eyes. She was so incredibly happy. And he was too. She could feel it. “I love you too. So, so much more,” he whispered back. Killian pulled her into his chest and Audrey tightened her grip around his neck. She wanted to feel more of him, so she linked her legs around his waist too. Killian held her entire body up with ease and he carried her up to their room. He laid her down gently on the bed, and he stared at her eyes for a moment as he hovered above her body. Audrey was seeing her entire world in Killian’s pier
- - - - - Six Months Later - - - - - ~ Audrey ~ “Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear Gracie, happy birthday to you!” The whole room was singing and cheering for baby Grace’s first birthday. She had no clue what was happening though. She was sitting on her chair with a pink dress on, staring at everyone in front of her. Her biggest fans in the world were in the room, her mommy, daddy, grandpa Max, grandpa John, and grandma Anna. Even uncle Mikey, Uncle Sebastian, Auntie Liv, and Uncle Benji were there too. Audrey and Killian invited their closest friends and family to attend an intimate weekend celebration for Grace’s first birthday party. They wanted it to be extra special, so instead of doing a house party at their home in Brooklyn or at the Vanderbilt mansion, they decided to have it in Bermuda, the place that inspired her namesake. The Vanderbilt villa was big enough to house everyone. And out in the garden, Audrey, Mikey, Liv, and Benji had dec
- - - - - Six Months Later - - - - - ~ Audrey ~ Audrey was staring in front of her laptop for the longest time. A word document page full of words was staring back at her. She thought for a moment before her hand reached for the keyboards again. And just as she was about to start typing, she heard a loud cry coming from the next room. Audrey immediately knew what that cry meant. After listening to her baby’s cries for six months, Audrey could tell what she needed just by the way she cried. Getting up to her feet, Audrey quickly went to the nursery. She opened the door to see Killian and Virginia, their postpartum doula, picking up baby Grace from her crib. Yes, following their busy schedules, Killian and Audrey thought it’d be a great idea to have a doula live in their home and help with the baby. Virginia was a highly experienced postpartum doula in her mid fifties. She had great insights and support on infant feeding, infant soothing, and coping skills for new parents. She also

Not being able to sleep was a normal thing for him, but there was another reason why he couldn’t sleep tonight. Tomorrow was a big day for him and Audrey. It was the day where their baby girl would come into the world. Audrey decided that she wanted to do a homebirth. They didn’t have the best memories the last time they were in a hospital. And Audrey felt most relaxed and comfortable being at home. Dr. Shepherd, who was closely monitoring Audrey and the baby, agreed that home birth would be a viable option. So they set on a date, got all the equipment ready, hired a midwife-nurse, and set aside a hospital transport just in case. Tomorrow was the D-day and Killian was too nervous to sleep. He kept checking the clock to see if the hour hand had moved. Audrey seemed like she was nervous too. It was about eleven-thirty at night and she was usually asleep by now. But tonight, she wasn

It had been a whole month since people started calling her by this name and she still got giddy every time she heard it.“Hi, is Killian done with his meeting?” Audrey was biting her lip to stop herself from smiling too much.“Yes, he’s in his office. Would you like me to call him for you?”“No, don’t call him. I’ll come up and see him,” she said quickly and winked. “It’s a surprise,”The receptionist nodded her head and opened the door to the private elevator leading up to Killian’s office. Since he started working as the head of both the Vanderbilt and Huntington corporations, Killian would divid
- - - - - Two Weeks Later - - - - -~ Killian ~ Two weeks had gone by so fast. Before they knew it, it was already the last night of Killian and Audrey’s honeymoon. Sure, being in Bermuda was great, but Killian enjoyed spending uninterrupted quality time with Audrey the most. He couldn’t care less of what they were doing as long as they did it together. And they did everything together, from exploring around the island to trying out the local food, and visiting historical sites that she liked so much.The days went by so fast, but the nights were a bit more troubling for Killian. Ever since the accident, Killian had been having trouble sleeping. Every time he closed his eyes, he was back at the steering wheel again. He’d try to drive away to safety, but the end result was always the same.Letting out a deep sigh, Killian opened hi
- - - - - Two Weeks Later - - - - - ~ Audrey ~ “Welcome back to Bermuda, Mr. and Mrs. Vanderbilt,” Benji greeted Audrey and Killian with his signature toothy smile. “Thanks, Benji,” Audrey replied. She hadn’t seen Benji, the Vanderbilt’s personal tour guide, since their last visit to Grace Bay two years ago. “It’s been so long since your last visit. Congratulations on the wedding,” he said as he took their luggage and put it in the trunk of the car. “And I am sorry to hear about Mr. Caspian. I cry when I see the newspaper,” “Thank you, Benji. I appreciate it,” Killian replied. Though Benji’s English wasn’t particularly great, Audrey could see the sincerity in his eyes. He must be sad to hear about Caspian’s passing. Whenever he visited Bermuda, Caspian always treated him very well. Benji only wor
