"I wish we would have listened." The voice brought me out of my head and I turned to see my father awake. "Good your awake. I will go and get your doctor." "Katrina stop. Please let me talk to you." "Ok, first answer this question for me." "Ok, I will answer whatever you want Katrina." "Why didn't you change your will after disowning me?" I watched him take a deep breath and look around at everyone. "Because I knew what really happened after you moved in with your grandparents." I looked around at the stunned faces as tears started to spill. Luckily Hikaru walked in at that moment. "Katy, what's wrong?" He engulfed me in his arms glaring at everyone "what did you do to her? Haven't you all put her through enough.""It's Ok. Hikaru." I turned to my father still in Hikaru's arms "why, didn't you ever come forward?" "Wait what is going on Sanbimu?" "My father knew before I left for London." He glared at my dad "you left her alone knowing what really happened." "I had to. I already lost o
"Yes, please, dad. I would really enjoy reading them." I smiled really big when Juan and Lucy walked in looking around "where are the rest of them?" Juan glared around as my dad looked at him "I asked them to leave so I could talk to Katrina and explain everything.I want to thank you, Juan, for taking care of my girl. I hated not being able to contact her after what she went through but know I couldn't lose my other children not knowing if Katrina would ever forgive me."Juan looked at me and raised his eyebrow at me and I giggled and quickly explained everything. He smiles "well that explains why he never changed his will."The five of us talked about what had been going on in our lives with my dad and I couldn't help but laugh when Juan told my dad about what I did to Margret and he just smiled "that's my girl.When do you plan on talking to the rest of the family?" "I don't know dad. They have all been so rude and hurtful I just can't." "OK but please don't just push them away.No
"Yeah, but Trina. Uhm, you might want to consider letting Tristan talk to Justin about man stuff." I glared at him "I know that you are not happy with him and do not trust him but he is his father and he wants in his life. Yes, what he did was wrong but..." "Look, I will let my dad talk to him and I will talk to Tristan." "I know you are still hurt by them, but you need to let it go." I glare at him "Hikaru said the same thing." "Well, he is right. Oh, and Hikaru said not to worry about dinner tonight since you had a date that Justin fixed you up with and we all were too tired and forgot. He said we can do dinner tomorrow or another night." I smiled and watched the two of them leave my room. I couldn't help but think that the main reason he is trying to talk me into talking to Tristan is that now that he is going to be a father he wants Justin to have his father in his life. I just wasn't sure how to let go enough to allow Tristan into Justin's life. Hell Willamina has alr

"Yeah, I guess." "So, does this mean we can try to be us?" I take a deep breath "no Tristan this means we can be friends. Unfortunately, I still stand behind what I said earlier. You will need to prove to me that you will not go against my rules. If there is a rule you do not agree with we can discuss it and decide what is best. I do not want Justin using us against each other. I doubt he would do that but you never know this is the first time he will have two parents. As for the men that helped me with him growing up they did not make the rules and they follow them with no questions asked." "Ok, I agree. As for what happened last night I am not happy and told my mom how I felt. She wasn't happy I agreed with you simply because my club is no place for a fifteen-year-old boy. Hell, he has no business in any club that caters to adults. Now there are clubs that cater to teens but I am not sure how I feel about those I would rather he not go to a club period." I giggled "well
Hearing Justin call me dad filled my heart. I also couldn't believe he snorts when he laughs hard as well. I look at him and smile "yeah, your mom used to call me her little piggy." He started laughing and sure enough, he snorted, and before I knew it we were both laughing our butts off." After we composed ourselves I looked at Justin and took a deep breath. "I should tell you that I agree with your mother about last night. I would not have allowed you into the club what your grandmother did last night was wrong for three reasons. One you are a minor and had no business in a club meant for adults. Two she knew your mother was not comfortable yet letting you be around us and I don't blame her. After everything, we have done and said about her behind her back and to her face,I can't blame her for wanting to keep you away. Three you broke rules that you knew were in place and I know you told your grandmother since she explained to me she convinced you to sneak out." I watched
Trina POVThe idea of letting Tristan take Justin fishing was driving me crazy but I had to let them spend time together. I know insisting that Juan, Manuel, or Hikaru went with them was not very trusting but I still didn't know what kind of hold Wilamina had on him. I was not ready for her to be a part of his life after everything she has done and said. I was really lucky when Juan, and Hikaru both agreed to go with Tristan and Justin.Manuel on the other hand refused stating that he is my driver and bodyguard and couldn't leave me unprotected. Tristan was great about it since it would allow him to get to know two of the men that became important in Justin's life. I was surprised when he told me that he was fine with them being there he joked they could make it a guys' bonding experience. The guys were not going fishing until the next day so I contacted Hikaru and he was more than willing to have Justin at his house. While talking to Hikaru I made plans with Natsuko and Lucy to
I made my way to the cafe to meet up with my siblings and couldn't believe I had decided to let them have a chance to explain. I just hope they don't try and convince me to get back together with Tristan. It is hard to believe that I came here thinking I would take care of my dad and then close the chapter on my family. Little did I know that fate had other things in mind. The more I look and think about Justin I know I have to let them in so he can have a real family. Justin is all that matters to me at this point in my life. Ok if I am being truthful with myself I really want my family back. I missed all of them and it pains me to see them and not have them in my life. I have to let them in even if it is hard looking past what has happened in our past. I just hope I am not going to regret letting them into my life.It wasn't long before I arrived at the restaurant and it took me a minute to realize I had found the right place since it resembled a boat. I hope that my sibli
TRINA'S POVAfter we all made it home the guys made us this huge fish fry. I could not believe that they had even thought of all the side dishes as well. Tristan, Tom, and David started frying the fish while Hikaru started up some white rice,Juan made Cole Slaw and Jim started air-frying fries and onion rings. I could not believe the guys decided to do all the cooking for us women. It wasn't long before all of the food was done. Hikaru had added a little salt and butter to his rice and it was a nice compliment. I got really excited when he pulled out his homemade Japanese pickles and couldn't help but chow down. We had to warn the rest of the people there that Japanese pickles if you didn't like them immediately were an acquired taste. We also warned them that to some people they smelled like stinky feet. I was stunned when everyone took to them and we all just sat back and enjoyed our meal talking about our trip. Tristan still could not believe that I grabbed a guy's junk
We girls were having a blast with the bodyguards that Jim hired to keep an eye on us. Turns out that Paul is the owner of the security company that Jim contacted to watch us. He was surprised that I was not more upset that the guys hired them but how can I be so far the bodyguards have helped save me? Especially my Tristan he was willing to give me the ultimate sacrifice so I could still be around for Justin. It was funny when Natsuko and Patrice insisted on getting the guys a spa treatment. The two of them grabbed the guy assigned to them by the ear and growled "you will get the same treatments we are getting with the exception of the polish on your nails or else we will make sure you regret ever meeting us. I started giggling watching all these cowboys that ranged from five foot nine inches to over six feet tall scurry to do what two women that were both under five foot five said. We all were given full body massages. Now that was hilarious watching the guys gulp when the ma
I was sitting in Tristan's office when there was a knock on the door. I said "come in" and in walked that girl Sarah she glared at me "what the fuck are you doing here bitch." I just smiled "I am waiting for my fiancé. Tris." She laughed "you wish he is mine. He will never take you back. Since you cheated on him. Well, that is what he thinks." She didn't realize Tristan had walked in the door so I asked "what do you mean?" "Well, why do you think my mom and I convinced Alex and Linda not to let Carlos tell them the truth? I knew you were raped I am related to Julie. I thought you deserved what you got. I mean come on you were a nobody and she was the head cheerleader and you wouldn't let him go because you were selfish. Plus I had seen Tristan and I knew I had to have him. Hell at first it was just to get laid now I want him because look what he owns. You will not be getting anything bitch it is mine." I hear Tristan clear his throat and she spins around as I start to
Falling Asleep in Tristan's arms after making love all night was wonderful. I couldn't help but think about how my first time and the first time since...was both with Tristan and on the night he proposed. I snuggled closer to him and feeling his naked body close to mine as we were laying there I couldn't help but run my hand along his bare chest. As I was dragging my hand along his chest I heard the downstairs door open and I jumped up and ran into the closet and started getting dressed. The last thing I needed was for Justin to catch us naked and in bed. Even though he knows that we are living together and he loves having his dad around the last thing I want is for him to catch us in bed together.When I make it downstairs I notice it is not Justin but Lucy. She smirks at me "so, how was last night here all alone with your man." I could feel myself blush as she shouts "yes, finally." I heard Tristan hit something and mutter shit and Lucy and I couldn't help but giggle "sounds
"Well, I am still uncomfortable with intimacy. To be honest that is the first time I have been topless since..." "Oh, so you two haven't..." I giggled "No not since the last time we were together. The most that have happened is what you saw. Yes, we are sleeping together but that is it just sleeping." "Ok just don't force yourself to be intimate because you two were in the past. This is a fresh start he should understand he has to work for you." I smiled and told Tom all about London and he smiled "so he really is trying?" "Yep, he is Tom." Once we finished our talk and Tom agreed to knock no matter what since he could have walked in on me changing we made our way to lunch. As we sat there with each other I couldn't help but feel as if I had my bestie back.The months went by and it didn't take Tristan long before he moved into mine and Justin's place. Juan and Lucy were lucky when they found a house for sale down the street and it didn't take them long to move in. I was
Arriving home was the event that I expected it to be. As soon as we exited the plane our family pulled us into a big hug. The perks of flying in a private jet. They kept wiggling their eyebrows at us and it wasn't until Alex pulled up something on his phone showing us a picture. Turns out that a picture of me and Tristan together surfaced online and everyone has seen the darn thing. It was one of the pictures, my friend, Ralph took of us when we were taking our family pictures. I watched them smirking at us "so, does this mean that huge envelope that says photographs is from you all taking pictures together." Tristan grinned and wrapped his arms around me "yep, we took some family portraits courtesy of her friend Ralph." Tristan chuckled "boy was he a hoot. At first, I wanted to deck him when he wrapped his arms around Trina just to find out that he is gay and was more interested in me than my girl." As soon as he said that Wilamina jumped on it "so it's official you two are
After everything at the reception, I decided I did not want to be around the aftermath. I made sure to book the first flight back home and could not wait to put Benedict and his vulgarity behind me. Tristan tried to talk me out of leaving and into staying and maybe even touring some of the neighboring towns around London and even going to France. Before I could explain why I didn't want to do that Justin stepped in "dad you don't understand everything that happened will be the biggest news here in the UK." I watched as Justin took a deep breath "I really don't want mom here for the fallout. Even though there are a lot of people on her side there will still be some that will hold her responsible for their families being in the spotlight." Tristan nodded "well I guess going home is the best option. Will we be able to return?" Justin laughed "oh, yeah in about a month this will be old news." I smiled "Ok we have a flight at eleven in the morning and since it is an international
We continued to walk in silence just enjoying spending time with each other and it wasn't long before we made it to the café and went inside to eat. Sitting there after ordering Tristan and I talked about the different things we were hoping would happen to us in the future.It surprised me that most of what Tristan hoped would happen in the next few weeks was me slowly letting him into my life completely. He smiled at me "you already let me in a little bit today more than I thought was possible.""What do you mean Tris?" "I will not lie to you when you slipped your hand out of mine I felt my heart break thinking I went to fast. Yet when I felt your arm snake around my waist it took all my energy not to grab you and spin you around I was so happy that you felt safe enough to let me pull you closer."I smiled "Tris, I love you and after you helped wake me up from my night terror and left me asleep alone in my room even though I asked you to stay you proved to me that I could trust you.
We all chuckled as we walked into my building. I made sure to select my floor when we got in the elevator and clicked on my floor once the door closed. It wasn't long before we made it to our condo and Justin ran in and grabbed his bag running out. I glared at him and yelled, "you called Joann to meet us didn't you?""He just smirked "what me? Never." I laughed shaking my head as he blew me a kiss and left with Joann. "So, how often does he spend the night at her house?" "Not often, he usually only spent the night when I worked late. Most of the time he stayed with Lucy and Juan.""Oh, well I am glad to know you were not leaving him alone all the time." It wasn't long before Tristan was laughing "I think you are right and he called Joann before and had this planned."I came out in an old outfit I wore when I dated Tristan that he loved. It was a white top with eyelet material overlay and a light blue skirt with buttons all the way down the front that could be left open to reveal a whi
