I wanted this shit out of the way before the kids left for break. Taelin was beyond excited about going to Paris. I laughed when she walked in and practically jumped into my arms. She started telling Janelle all about the trip and a few of the places she wanted to go. I could tell that Janelle was thrilled for her. Janelle had told me that Taelin had always wanted to go to Paris and that she and Xade had been saving to take her there, but then the attack happened. Then they got his diagnosis of cancer and that derailed all their plans. I think it also depleted some of the funds that they had saved for that trip. I know Janelle hated using the money, but they had no other choice. Taelin was still babbling on about their upcoming trip as we sat down for dinner. I was glad to see Taelin in such a good mood considering everything that is going on. &
I knew we were going to get a verbal lashing when we got home. It wasn’t Janelle’s fault that the secret of the house was revealed. We had planned to ask dad if we could have the house even before Taelin came along. It worked out perfectly when she showed up and when we both realized that we wanted her. Our grandparent's house was a huge two-story Greek inspired architecture. It has seven rooms and five bathrooms. Alexi and I had found the perfect room to make Taelin an art studio. It was upstairs down the hall from what would be our master bedroom. One entire wall was all one window, and it overlooked the Olympic sized pool. It had a ton of natural lighting which we knew would be perfect for her art studio. Taelin was sitting on the bed when we walked out of the bathroom. She had changed into her pajamas and was scrolling through her phone.
We had decided to stay put for a while. After the disastrous situation with those girls in the cabins we thought it would be a good idea if we kept out of sight for a while. Kyle had gotten a hold of the guys that he was still friends with, and they had told him that they were still looking or me, but it seems as if they have gone quiet as well. I hadn’t tried to contact Mike at all. I knew if I did, he would try and have the call tracked. Arseni and my sister Collette had to travel to Moracco to talk with someone he knew. I was stuck here with my fucking jaw wired shut, my whiney daughter who was now better and Dontay. They were locked in rooms on the second floor. The rooms were connected so they would have each other to talk to. They aren’t allowed out of their rooms and all their food is taken to them. I decided to go see how my daughter is doing.
I was busy looking through different books or ideas of tiles and back slashes for the house. I still couldn’t believe that they had started renovating the house or the three of us. I was slightly hurt when I first found out that they started this project and didn’t tell me. However, when they explained that they kind of started it before we met and that the whole thing was going to be a surprise for me, I wasn’t mad any longer. I wasn’t mad at mom either for spilling the secret. I still can’t believe how big the house is. I swear if I wasn’t following them, I would have gotten lost. Who knows, I still might when we first move in. It is hard to imagine that it is a strong possibility that within the next six months I could be living in my own house. I can’t wait to get in there and design murals and other pictures for the walls. I have already come up with an idea for our master bedroom. I have the colors picked and
We had been at dads for a few hours now when we heard the front door open and then slam shut. Mike and Raul looked at us like we knew what was going on. We didn’t. I shook my head when Taelin came bursting into the room dragging Vicky and Jackson. I heard Jayson groan as I raised an eyebrow at my kitten. Dad stood there blinking like he thought the three of them standing in front of us were a figment of his imagination. Mike let out a chuckle. This is typical of my kitten. Not that the door to dad's office was closed, but Taelin would have still come in. I folded my arms across my chest as the three of them stood there. Dad finally got his shit together and gave her that stern father look that Jayson and I received way to much when we were younger.
Today is the day that we speak with Byanca and Breayna. We were all gathered in the huge room at our primary office building. It was the only room that was big enough for all of us. Harry was there for obvious reasons. Fallon and Farick were getting everything hooked up and ready for this meeting. Harry warned us that Byanca and Breayna have two of the best tech guys ever. Farick asked who they were. “Their names are Xavier and Burton.” Harry answered. I don’t think I have ever heard Farick or Fallon squeal in glee like they just did. I am guessing they know who those two are. Fallon explains who they are, but I still don’t have a clue. I am pretty tech savvy, but I am nothing compared to Farick and Fallon and apparently compared to Xavier and Burton I am useless. Taelin leans back against me as she stretches her legs out over Alexi. The three of us were sitting on a couch, which was just barely big enough for Alexi and me. My brother and I aren’t exactly small guys. “Damn this g
I couldn’t help the smile that was on my face during class. I kept thinking back to the meeting with Breayna and Byanca yesterday. Those two are something else. The guys seemed cool. Burton and Xavier were hilarious. The fact that they hacked into our system told me they are damn good at what they do. I about lost it when Breayna introduced them as bromance buddies. Those two women are a handful and I have all the respect in the world for Kade and Kane. I didn’t miss the way that Taelin cooed when Byanca and Kane’s little was brought into the room. She didn’t take her eyes off the little girls. I can imagine Jayson or I holding a little princess of our own but not for a few years.
Well last night was fucking shitty. None of us slept well. Taelin slept but it was not a peaceful sleep. She also had nightmares. I think this break-in triggered her about the break-in and fight that night when her dad was still alive. “Where are you going?” Alexi asked.“I figured that w
I thought I was seeing things when Tuono jumped out of the box that Rinaldo was holding. I was trying to keep my mind from thinking the worst but with the terrible rain storm that had rushed into the area yesterday, which by the way was still going strong today, it was hard not to think the worst. Jayson and Alexi told me we would find them and I knew they would do everything within their power to make sure we did find them. All I could see was them cold and hungry out there in this shitty weather. I hoped that they at least stayed together and didn’t get seperated. None of them had ever been outside. Hell, none of them had ever shown interest in the outside world. I woke up from my nap to purring. I couldn’t help but smile when I felt Ombra snuggle into my arms where he was laying. They had completely surrounded me. I wiggled my way out of my kitten pile. They were still curled up on the bed when I came out of the bathroom. I was starving so I
Alexi Five Years Later I can’t help the cheesy smile that spreads across my face as Taelin hurls a book at our heads. Jayson is jumping all over the place as I stand there. I dodge the book as it goes flying by. I love how angry she gets every time. None of us were expecting this. I know Jayson and myself weren't expecting this. I shouldn't be surprised. We weren't exactly trying, but we weren't preventing another pregnancy either. Taelin looked ready to kill us or castrate us. I wasn't sure. “You two need to get snipped. This is the last one I am fucking having.” She yells. Our five-year-old daughter and her two-year-old brother are staying over at their grandparents' house. They are having fun with their six-and-a-half-year-old Auntie Gianna. Jayson and I had a feeling Taelin was pregnant again. She didn’t have any morning sickness, but she was extremely moody, and she had been seriously horny lately. Not that we mind that at all. Even after seven years together Jayson and I s
1 Year Later Taelin I shouldn’t be surprised that this finally happened. The boys had been good about wearing condoms, but of course, there were times when we all forgot about shit like that. We would get lost in the moment and so far, we had gotten lucky. Looks like our tempting fate finally bit us in the ass. Our last year of college had just started three weeks ago. I had been feeling off for a few months now so I didn’t even suspect that I might be pregnant. After throwing up this morning for the third morning in a row I decided to grab a test at the drug store to see. Low and behold the large plus sign indicating that I am in fact pregnant didn’t even take the full three minutes to pop up. I drop the evidence in the bag and stand up. I am in the bathroom a few doors down from my last class. This damn test had been burning a hole in my backpack for a few hours now and since I had a couple of hours in between class I decided to take it and get it over with. I threw my backpack o
I am not sure how they got them down here, but I am thankful for it. They brough a huge couch down here for Jayson and me to sit in. I am not sure how the fuck we made it down here. Honestly, every damn footstep hurt. Lucas, the asshole, offered to give us piggie back rides but we told him to fuck off. I had half the mind to take him up on the offer to walk back up those stairs. Taelin was sitting in between us on the couch. I would lay down using her silky soft thigh as a pillow, but I wouldn’t be able to see. Radimir, Claire and the few others that were still alive were cuffed and chained to chairs in the room. The chairs were bolted to the floor. There was no fucking way they were getting out of those chairs or that room. “Fucking hell.” Daymon said. “Who the fuck has pets like that and how the fuck do you even acquire pets like that?” Leo hissed. The side door open and the three biggest fucking animals I had ever seen walked in. There was a gigantic white tiger, a massive bl
We have been home a grand total of two days. My whole fucking body aches and not in a way that is enjoyable. I tried to get handsy with Taelin this morning, but she slapped my hands away and told the both of us that there will be no sex until we are completely healed. I frowned when she told us that. Alexi was frowning right alongside of me. Dad was right, Taelin hasn’t let us out of her sight since she woke up. We did ask her if she remembered anything that happened. She does remember bits and pieces of what happened, but she doesn’t remember what happened after we showed up. Mainly after Alexi and I got shot. Janelle and Kaleel, well his mother, have been helping her cook for us. Our freezer in the garage is full of meals that we must thaw and cook thanks to them. “Okay you two time for your medicine.” Lucas singsongs. “What in the fuck are you wearing?” I groan. “I figured since I am your nurse for the day that I should dress accordingly.” he replies. This asshole is in a n
Damn I wasn’t expecting the place to be surrounded when we pulled up. Breayna and Byanca had called the leader of the Chinese mafia while they were still on call with us. Thanks to Burton and Xavier they were able to split the screen and we informally got to meet him. He was brought up to speed quickly on everything that had been going down this last fucking year. He was more than happy to help us. Guess he hated that part of the Russian mafia as well. He let us know that he would meet us there. When we pulled up there were two large SUVs with him and his guys in it. He said that they would be here if we needed any back up. We thanked him as alarms started to go off everywhere. Good those fuckers know we are here. Jayson still had the phone in his hand, and we could clearly see that Taelin was on the move. Leave it to my kitten to escape. When the dot that was her came to a stop, we knew something, or someone had stopped her. Two more large SUVs pulled up and out climbed Kane, Kade, Da
These slimy fuckers. Amaya and I haven’t shut up since they took us. Poor Violet is scared shitless. I damn nearly fell over when she told me who her father was. I had no idea that Dr. Galvinson even had kids. Those two creepy fuckers were part of this, and I made damn sure that they would be found. I knew they were up to some shady shit. I should have known they would be working with these assholes. I was seriously impressed with Amaya. For such a little thing she sure can kick some ass. She made sure none of those fuckers walked away. I tried to trigger the alarm on my phone but one of them knocked it out of my hand before I could push the damn button. I am pacing the room like a damn lion. I swear the first person to walk in here is going to fucking die. I am so damn glad that Zoe and Chantal were able to get away. “Do you still have your phone?” I asked. “Yes but look at it.” Bryayna answered. Damn it must have gotten damaged during the fight or when they threw Bryayna in th
I woke up this morning with a bad feeling. AS the day progressed it didn’t go away, but it got worse. Alexi, Leo, Sam, Fallon, Morris and I were across town on some class trip. It pertained to one of the projects that we were doing. Kaleel and Gio had to help their dad with something today which required them to travel to the next town over. All the girls were on campus attending their classes, but something kept ticking in the back of my mind. I had checked the tracking app on Taelin’s phone and it had shown her walking around campus. This knowledge should put my mind at ease, but it doesn’t. I see Alexi check the app a few times himself and I can tell it doesn’t ease his mind either.
This last month has been nice and boring. I am not sure if that is a good thing or not. Dad, Mike and Raul have been monitoring Claire and Radimir. Gloria and Fenrick met with us to explain some more shit that we still needed cleared up. Mitchell had also agreed to talk with his and Bryayna’s parents. We wanted them to come and talk with us. They were hesitant. They were afraid that if Claire and Radimir caught wind of them that they would come here. I understand their fears, but I was really hoping they would come. I know Bryayna wanted to meet them. I know she had talked with them. Gio told us about that. I think he has come to terms with Mitchell and her being siblings.
I was sitting out on a lounge chair later that night. I was still processing what Arseni, oh wait my bad, Mitchell had told us. I still couldn’t wrap my head around the fact that my best friend was the guywe thought was after me. I wasn’t sure what to feel. I was pissed, but also hurt that he couldn’t trust me enough to tell me what was going on. I was seriously questioning our friendship. I jump when a cup of tea is placed in front of me. Jayson sat down beside me kissing my temple.“My queen you have been sitting out here for an hour staring at the night sky. What is running through that pretty little head
