Belinda's POVWe get in the car after greeting Grandpa since Grandma has left without greeting us. And I know it is because she fears we will change our minds and take little Connor home. I am glad Connor can spend some time with his grandparents. He needs it, and they need it too. Well, it looks like it's only Chase and me for the rest of the weekend. "Shall we go out to dinner tonight? We will be sitting alone at home and only miss the little one. I know you will worry about him the whole time. So let's go and enjoy ourselves. It is about time that we get to know each other better. I want to know everything about you. And I believe that we can become closer this weekend. We will call Connor later when we get home. I can promise you he will not be going to bed early. As I know, my parents will play with him for as long as they can. They will keep him up all night if they can. They know Connor loves trains, and they have built one big trainset in his spare rooms. It took my father th
Belinda's POV"So, Chase is the master of flirting around here?" I laugh. "He was until you walked into his life with the little one. Now he is boring. When did the two of you got married? We were supposed to be each other's best men, and you skipped me. I will remember that when I get married someday. Don't get too happy, father. It won't happen soon. I am so enjoying my freedom, and I won't get caught like Chase," Nick says. "Excuse me, are you saying I caught him? What does that mean? Are you telling me that I set a trap for him?" I ask. I can see Nick feeling uncomfortable, and Chase starts laughing. "Um, I did not mean it like that. I just meant that he is married now. I don't know when you got married. I do not even know if you are married, but all I meant is that he got married. I did not suggest that you set a trap for him because if you did, you would have told him when you were pregnant. I know many women who want to do that to me, like Sarah Harper. She hangs around here
Chase's POVI am pissed off at Sarah for spoiling our night. I am sure that Belinda must be angry because Sarah interfered with our night. I am sure she is not in the mood to wine and dine with me anymore. I will not blame her if she wants to go home. Perhaps we should have just stayed home and had a quiet night together. I thought I was doing her a favor by bringing her out. I didn't want her to worry about Connor all the time. I knew she would miss him, so I didn't want us to stay home all night. We will be flying to Las Vegas early tomorrow morning. I was hoping that we could have a relaxing night before flying to Las Vegas, as we will have a hectic Saturday and Sunday in Las Vegas. We will be flying back on Sunday afternoon. As soon as we land, we will pick up Connor, as he has school on Monday."Do not let that woman upset you. Let's have fun. I am not going to let anybody spoil our weekend. I would love to have a lovely, relaxing night with you. So let us forget about her," Beli
Chase's POV Last night was wild. The wine relaxed us, and Belinda and I got wild in bed last night. I forgot to use protection as both of us were drunk, and we did not care. All we wanted was each other. Belinda and I were not feeling well this morning, but after a healthy breakfast, we decided to still go to Las Vegas. When will we get the chance to go away together again? I know Connor will love being with my parents, but I believe that he will not go again soon as he is very attached to his mother. He will enjoy the weekend but wants to return and stay with us for the next few weeks. We are also always busy with work. Sometimes I have to work on weekends as my business demands a lot from me. I don't always get time to spend with Belinda and Connor, and it is getting on my nerves. Belinda refuses to work on weekends, but sometimes, her clients will call her if they are in trouble, and she will have to go and bail them out. Some get locked up over weekends and expect their attorney t
Chase's POVI wonder if Belinda is angry at me. She said she is not, but one never knows with a woman. I could not tell, and it looked like she was unhappy with me. I know I messed up in the past, but it was before she got back into my life. I love it, and I hope she is not angry with me because I cannot live without her. I cannot think of a life without her and Connor. She and Connor are the reason I live. "Are you angry at me? I know I may stop in the past, but it was before you and Connor came into my life," I ask. The woman has been removed from our presence, and I do not want to see her again. She will never work for me again. "Don't be silly. I'm not angry. What you did in your past has nothing to do with our relationship now," Belinda says as she moves closer and hugs me. I grab her and start kissing her. Belinda pushed me away. She looks up at me and smiles. It is not a far trip to Las Vegas. We will be there in half an hour."Don't push me away, honey. I want to kiss you. Y
Belinda's POVI am surprised. I do not know why Chase is doing it here and now. Of course, I will marry him again. Will I make him sweat a little? Of course, I will not. I'm not evil like that. "Yes, I will marry you again," I say. I realized it was the first time Chase had formerly asked me to marry him. "I want to do it right. I felt that you did not have a choice the first time. It feels like I forced you into marrying me. I was afraid to lose you and Connor. I never want to lose you. I love both of you and want to be there for the rest of my life. For the two of you. Now, I want to do it the right way. I have a lot of surprises for you today. Thank you for accepting my proposal," Chase says. "You knew I would accept your proposal. You know that I love you," I say. "Well, we do not have time to waste. I am going to take you to one of the designers here. He has designed your wedding address. I know you would love it. You deserve your wedding dress. The last wedding dress you wor
Chase's POVBelinda comes walking out of the boutique. I can see from the smile on her face that she loves the dress. I am relieved because she would not have been happy if the dress was not perfect. I still have a few surprises up my sleeve. A sister will be her bridesmaid. I have invited Nick to join us. He will be my best man. I promised him long ago that he would be my best man when I married. I am going to keep that promise. I want him to feel I am not leaving him out of my life. He has been my best friend since we were children. We always promised each other that we would be each other's best men. Today, I'm honoring that promise. Although Linda and I are already married, I have arranged that everything is legal here in Las Vegas. We will go to our hotel now and wait until the dress arrives so she can get ready. I have arranged for people to do her hair, nails, and makeup. They will start with it while we wait for the trees and the rest of the guests to arrive.When we get to th
Belinda's POV I cannot believe that Chase has planned everything so perfectly. I only despair that Connor will not be with us when we remarry. I know he would love to be with us. When I walked down her aisle, I would love to see his little face when I was in this beautiful dress. There is a knock on my door, and I wonder who it can be. My dress is already delivered, and I wonder if it is one of the surprises Chase has planned for me. I have a beautiful bouquet of white roses, and I wonder how Chase knew it was my favorite flower. "Come in," I say. I am fully dressed, and I know I look like a lovely bride. I do not want us or tells of walking in on me while I am so half naked. But I am glad that I am dressed. "Mommy! You look so beautiful. You look even more beautiful than the first time. I told Grandmother that we would surprise you. And I can see that you are surprised. Daddy called us and told us all about his plans to ask you to marry him again. And he asked us to be here. Are
Belinda's POVToday is the day of my children's wedding. I cannot believe my son and daughter are getting married on the same day. I am very proud of them, as they chose perfect partners that fit them. I could not be more proud of my children. My life has gone a full circle. I got my sweet revenge on the people that killed my mother. I gained his sister and a lovely husband. I have two wonderful children and could not ask for anything more. Well, maybe a grandchild or two. Chase will be walking in both brides since Norma does not want anything to do with her family. I cannot blame her. Besides, Norma has become like a second daughter to my husband and me. I cannot believe that time has gone by so fast. It felt like yesterday when Chase was discovered to Connor and me. I am glad that he did, though. I am pleased that he is my husband. He makes me very happy.Although we are older now, he is still a handsome man. Many younger women still look at him. He makes me proud. Our love for each
Baron's POVI am going to ask Bella to marry me. I wait until she is at her classes, then see her family. I am waiting until all of them are together. I want all of them to know that I like to marry Bella. And I'm going to ask all of them for their permission. I also like to tell Connor to be my best man. I know Bella would want Norma to be her maid of honor. I requested a meeting with all of them. Everybody is there when I get to Chase's office, even Norma. I have asked her also to be there. I do not want anybody to feel left out.I'm glad I did it because I can see that Norma also appreciates me taking her to a family meeting. But I was very nervous when I walked in. I know this is their only daughter, and I will have to promise him that I will never cheat on her and that I will look after her like she is my only princess. And I know she is. She's the woman I want to love for the rest of my life. I can never think about my life without her. I cannot believe I am the same man who tho
Baron's POVAfter we left the boardroom, I instructed my guards to remove my family. I don't want to see them again. I don't have any feelings towards them. We went to my office, and Bella took out the picnic basket. I do not know how she knew that I would need this today. However, I don't care about my family anymore. It was so hard for me. She's an angel in disguise. As the officer close behind me, I walk over to her, and I kiss her like I've never kissed her before. All the passion I feel for her is in my kiss. I thought you would push me away, but she kissed me back instead. Does it mean she feels the same way about me as I feel about her? I hope so because I have created all these feelings about her. I know that I love her. I can't believe that I fell in love with Bella Stone. I never believed in love, but now I do, all because of this little woman in my arms. "I love you, Bella. I mean it this time. I'm not saying it to impress anybody, but I'm telling you the truth. I do love
Baron's POVI knew I would hear from my family again. It did not take my sister-in-law long to find my office. I thought my brother, mother, or father would be the first to show up. But no, the first one to walk into my office is Sharon. She never had a good taste in clothes. I always thought that she was a little bit cheap. I don't know what she is doing in my office, but I do not want her here. I know Sharon is up to no good."Hello, stranger. It has been a long time since we have seen you. I do not know why you were hiding from us. Were you afraid that you still had feelings for me? I should have never married that useless brother of yours. He has heard me so often that I cannot even talk about it. My heart is broken. Your brother does not care about me. He only cares about the whore he sleeps with every night while I am all alone at home. My heart can't stand it anymore. I am heartbroken. Baron, I should have never left you. I know that you would never have been like him. Besides,
Rita Peterson's POVI look at my husband, Mike. I did not think that our child would get anywhere without us. He also seems like he cannot believe what he just heard. We have to keep up our appearances in front of our friends. So Norma made it big, and she did not even tell us. She would not have come anywhere if it weren't for me and her father. If I didn't push her to go to beauty contests and become a beauty queen, she would not have gone into fashion. She owes us, she owes us big time. I never thought that she was the owner of Myst. I felt she was only a waitress, so I never wanted to see her again. She threw away the career I was planning for her to become a waitress. I will go and see her tomorrow at her office. I know where the boutique is. I never went there because I could not afford their dresses. The least we can do is dress her mother.We pretended to be friendly all night and saw her and Connor Stone leaving before our party. After the party was over, my husband and I wen
Norma's POVI love Connor. I cannot believe I am so happy to have found him when I needed him the most. Good night. We are going to go out to a fancy restaurant. I have got my confidence back. I do not even care if we run into my parents. If that's something to say, I don't care. I am in love, and I am successful. It is more I can say about them. My mother is still the socialite, and my father has to work his ass off to stay with her expensive lifestyle. Since I am their only child, they don't have an heir. I don't care what is happening to them. I don't want the money. I want nothing of them. Connor is not happy about the fact that his sister is seeing Baron Maxwell. I told him to leave her alone because it was her choice. Perhaps his family should meet him. I have decided to wear a beautiful white dress tonight. I know that Connor loves me more in white. He loves it when I wear a white dress. And tonight we are going to go to the Hilton. It is a plain reason it doesn't look like a
Baron's POVWalking into the restaurant, I saw my family sitting at the table. I did not expect them to be there because I did not expect them to be at the expensive restaurant while they were in so much financial trouble. They have not seen me yet. We walked in and were taken to the table I had reserved. "Her parents and brother are here with his wife. Are you sure you want to eat here tonight, or should we go elsewhere? I know how you feel about your mother and, father and brother. I wouldn't say I like it to be an uncomfortable night for you. I understand how they treated you, and I do not believe they deserve to see you anymore. Besides, I feel they will come and look for trouble with you. I wait a second. I have a plan. I'm always wearing my great-grandmother's ring on my finger. I will put it on my engagement finger, so if they come and look for trouble with you, we will pretend that we are engaged. I know it is not ideal, but at least it will give them something else to think
Bella's POVSo Baron wants a fancy date. I can wear fancy dresses if I have to. I have a few in my closet. I do not know why I like to impress him so much. I am not even supposed to worry about what he thinks. I cannot allow myself to fall in love with a man who does not believe in love. In a way, I get into a beautiful blue dress. It fits my body perfectly. It also has a long slit on the one leg. I wonder where he is going to take me. Why couldn't he wait until our regular Friday night dates? Is he missing me as much as I miss him? What do I do? I know I look beautiful in a plain dress. I only put on silver accessories because I love silver more than gold. I am dressed to impress but not too much. I like to keep it plain and simple. I am not the one for shiny dresses. I am not like other girls. My dress is classy and slightly revealing, but not too much. I am not here to impress a man. I am here to show myself that I can withstand a man who thinks all women want him for his money. I
Baron's POVAm I in love? To be honest, I do not know. I only know that I miss Bella when I'm not with her. Her family doesn't like me very much because we are always competitive. A father and her brother are not in the same business as me, but they still want to buy prime properties. I do not think that I am welcome in their house. I guess I will be more popular now, building around the diner. It took my architecture and engineers a while to figure out how. I've come up with a solution, and I won't even ask what they are doing, as that is not my problem. I am a trained architect and engineer with plenty of time to study with my parents. Just keep me away from America as long as they can. So, I continued studying while running my new business in Europe. However, I am not into that part of the business anymore. In the beginning, I loved it. But now I want more time for myself. I like the business side of it, and I like to see how my family and their business are crumbling. I know I ca
