My plan had been to crawl into bed and lazy the day away in my TOM bubble, but the universe had other plans for me. Abigail, Alan and Artemis have been inside Alan’s office working like crazy since this morning trying to do damage control for the company. I wish there was something I could do to help them, but I can’t think of anything. I decide to check out what’s being said online and get a better idea of what we’ll be up against in that arena.I’ve gotten a lot better at using the smartphone and can now pretty much do everything without asking for help. I open the search engine and type in Artemis’s name. A ton of articles pop up so I click on the first one. It has a video on the top of the page, so I select it.“There is a lot of drama circling the Rhodes family this week. From their son Artemis marrying a girl no one has ever seen or heard of to the head of the family taking over his son’s company. Is there trouble in paradise? The family is famously known foRelated chapters

BlueOnce I have my escape route figured out I sneak back upstairs to our room and start to make my other plans. Less than an hour goes by before Bryant shows up with my old bag. It’s like seeing an old friend again, but the reunion is bittersweet. That bag holds so many memories and not all of them have been good. “Thanks Bryant.” I say holding the bag close to me. “It was no problem, Miss Blue. Are you feeling alright? You look a bit pale.” He gives me a concerned look but I give him a smile and wave off his concern. “I’m fine. Just a little tired.” He nods and even though he still looks worried he doesn’t ask me anything else. We say a quick goodbye and I close the door behind me. Once I’m alone I put my old bag on the bed and look through everything inside. It looks like everything is still inside even the money I had saved up. I guess no one bothered with it since all of these people have way more money than this that it isn’t worth stealing. This moment

Artemis“I don’t think there is much more we can do tonight. The memos will be sent out in the morning. Are you sure about this?” Abigail asks. “I don’t say or do things I don’t mean. These people didn’t show any loyalty to me so why should I? They were willing to go along with my father’s schemes to destroy my company. Alan and I started this from the bottom and can do it again. I just wish I could see my fathers face when everything comes crashing down around him. We’ll start of the next phase once we leak the story. You’re right though, we need to rest for the night. Things will be happening fast after tomorrow.” “Yes sir. Tell Blue I say goodbye. She must be really tired.” Abigail waves to us as she leaves. “I’m surprised Blue didn’t come to see what we were up to.” Alan says as he pours himself another scotch. He offers some to me but I wave it off. What he said has me wondering why I had hardly seen Blue at all today. I’d fallen into my work hole and fo

ArtemisWe finally make it to the gas station and I spot the security guys waiting in the parking lot for us. I pull in the spot beside them and turn of the engine. They stand up straight when I walk around the car to meet them. “Did you find anything?” I ask them. They look at each other while I wait for someone to answer my question. “Well?”“We didn’t know what you wanted us to do once we got here.” One of the guys says. Oh fuck me…these men are idiots. “Check the perimeter you idiots!” I yell at them. They quickly move their asses to do as I ask just as Bryant and Dane pull in. “We drove down the closest streets leading back into the closest town but didn’t spot her.” Dane says. “Fuck.” I whisper under my breath and the urge to pull my hair out in frustration is so severe that I end up running my fingers through it but stop before I make a show of how I’m really feeling. What I’m feeling is fucking worry. Where could she have

BlueBlue and red lights flash everywhere I look. There are people yelling and cameras being pushed in my direction but I push past them toward the house. A house that looks vaguely familiar but I can’t place it. I don’t know what I’m doing here but none of the cops I pass is stopping me, so I keep going. Once I’m standing on the porch I’m flooded with familiarity. It looks exactly like it did when I was here. All except for the blood…that’s new. I follow the trail into a small bedroom in the very back of the house. Before I even reach the opening of the door I feel an intense urge to throw up. Everything inside me wants to get as far away from that door as possible but my head keeps urging me on. It wants me to see what’s inside but why? In the end my head wins and I move to the door. There are a few people taking photos and samples of stuff. It’s the figure on the floor that has all my attention though. “Who could do this to a kid?” An officer says with a shake of hi

BlueMy plan to have my way with Artmeis goes up in smoke the second I climb into bed. That dumb excursion I stupidly took part in has worn me out. Artemis fulfilled all his promises and we ended up laying in bed watching a movie. We barely got through half the movie before I fall asleep thus ruining my plan to make Artemis lose his mind. I may not be experienced yet but I want to learn because seeing him unfiltered is the hottest thing I’ve ever witnessed. It’s as if he has been pent up for so long that any bit of relief is like heaven to him. I’m just glad I get to benefit too, and boy does he know how to do that. Oh my God I’m a pervert! Stop thinking about sex Blue! Especially since you can’t have any right now…Only sleep stopped those thoughts but waking up with Artemis’s morning wood pressed against my ass has brought all those dirty thoughts back. I try really hard not to move because it would male things way worse for us both. Maybe I can slip out and make

ArtemisI can feel Blue as soon as she steps into the room. It’s as if my body is attuned to her presence and wants to remind me of where her mouth was not long ago. My dick twitches at the reminder but I use my skill of not giving anything away to hide the urge I feel to drag her back upstairs. I don’t even care that she’s on her period, I want her. Never thought I would think about doing something like that but that’s how addicted to her I’m becoming. “Alright instruct me mystro!” She says once she’s seated at the desk next to me. “Every part of the internal parts of the company have been transferring to my off site server overnight and should be finished soon. Then the whole server in the building will be wiped. Once that’s done my father will panic and fall back on using the media to make him not look inadequate. We need to prevent any news of my company’s current situation to get out just yet. To do that we need to set up a trojan horse that we will send to each m

BlueI don’t think I have seen Artemis look so conflicted before. For a second before he’s able to pull on his mask of indifference I see a flash of confusion and hurt on his face. “I don’t get it.” Alan says. “Why would she help him knowing the shit he’s put you through?”“It doesn’t matter. She was involved and knows everything. We need to change our plan and freeze her out of any further matters. We will also need to block her from accessing anything connected to the company.” Artemis says before walking over to his computer and working quickly to do just that. “This doesn’t feel right.” Alan says quietly to me. “She would never betray his trust.”“How do you know?” I ask him. He lowers his eyes to the floor for several long moments before he looks back up at me. “Because she’s, my wife.” He admits. I swear my eyes bug so far out that I’m worried they’ll drop to the floor. “What?” I hiss at him with a glance in Artemis’s direction. H

ArtemisI’m lost in my mission to uncover every email or call Abigail has made to my father in the past. As much as I want to destroy her for helping him, I want to know why. She has never given me any indication that I couldn’t trust her. This is why emotions and feelings don’t belong in business. I didn’t sense anything from her that would make me doubt her, but she has shown me my trust was in vain. How many more people will betray me for me to remember that trusting in others is a mistake? Fuck I need a drink. I finally pull myself out of my one-track mind and look around to find the room empty. Where did Alan and Blue go?“Blue?” I call out. When I don’t hear a response, I stand and go searching for her. I don’t see her in the kitchen and when I go to our room, I find it empty. Did she try to run again? Once again uncertainty and confusion builds inside me. I look around the room but find her ring, phone and purse gone. Her other stuff is still here which I’m

BlueWhat is going on? Here I was expecting some yelling or fighting but got hysterical laughter instead. Are they all high? Well, probably not Iris, but she looks a little confused as well. Same girl, same. “What is so funny?” I yell. They all slowly calm down and it’s Rhea who speaks next. “Blue, I know that this may seem strange, but we’re happy.” Say what now?“What do you mean? You guys would be getting nothing!” I remind them as if it weren’t clear. “We know and that’s the great part. Honestly, it’s a relief. That money is tainted with bad memories for us. It’s a burden, but to someone who’s as kindhearted as you it could be a huge blessing. You’ve come from having so little to having enough money for a hundred lifetimes. You could do anything! We are happy to let that money go and let you decide what to do with it. Once the funeral is over we can finally let that time of our lives die too. It’s the last tie to what our family name used to

ArtemisThis week has been hell. My grandfather and parents did not want to leave this world without one last special, and I’m hating every second of dealing with it. Still for my sisters it means closure even though our relationship with them was strained. Then there’s the whole matter of the will. Honestly, I don’t want to know what my grandfather has left me to deal with. If what’s happened in the last few months are only a piece of what I have to face then I’m going to hate the rest even more. My sisters are happy to let me handle it since they don’t want a thing from my father or grandfather. As much as they feel a sense of loss, they also feel relief. The last die-hard Rhodes are gone and we can all move on. My charity work with blue has been a lot more rewarding than any of the other work I’ve done, and seeing her smile is all the payment I need. Fuck. I haven’t been able to spend much time with her thanks to all this, but as soon as it’s over I am taking the fi

BlueI make it back to the bookstore just as Dane comes in searching for me. “Everything okay?” He asks looking me over for injuries. “Yeah, they didn’t have what I was looking for and I even asked an employee to look, and it took forever just for her to tell me they didn’t have the book. Crazy right?” I laugh weakly and hope he doesn’t notice my discomfort in lying.He doesn’t ask anything, so I guess I did okay, but as we drive home my anxiety hits an all time high. How am I going to look at Artemis and his sisters knowing what I know and not say anything. These people have been rich all their lives and even though they are individually wealthy do they expect more now that their grandfather and parents are dead? I can only imagine the amount of money those three died with and now it’s coming my way. There is so much anxiety and pressure waring inside me that when we get home I rush through the front door and to the nearest bathroom to throw up. No one seems

BlueI need to find a way to get out of here without anyone asking questions. Also, that means leaving the babies and Lilly which I’m not sure anyone will be willing to do with everything else going on, but I need to go to this meeting. There’s no time to debate logistics, so I head back to the living room where I see the Rhodes siblings still discussing something. Artemis’s eyes lift when I walk into the room, and he gives me a confused look. Maybe he sees something in my face that has alarm bells going up, so I try to smile and act like nothing is going on. “I’m sorry but something came up at my office, I need to run in and handle it. Can I leave the kids with you?” I ask him. “Of course. Is everything okay?” He asks standing and stepping around the couch to walk in my direction. I don’t really want him touching me right now. It feels fake now. After what I heard it has me overthinking still and I don’t have time to dig deeper into all those feelings right now.

BlueThe door opens behind me, and Artemis walks inside with Iris next to him. His sisters are on their feet in an instant and rushing over to wrap their little sister in their arms. The three of them start to cry while Artemis stands off to the side watching them. His forehead is creased, and his jaw is tight like he isn’t sure what to do but also like he’s worried. So, I walk over to him and slip my hand in his. “You okay?” I whisper. He sighs. “I’m glad she’s okay.” That’s enough for me. This is all so fresh, so it makes sense that none of them know what to say or do next. “What can I do to help?” I ask him. “We need to wait for the lawyer to the estate contacts us. They will let us know our grandfather’s and parent’s wishes for burial and memorial services. Then we go from there. After the funeral there will be the reading of the will, and we’ll all know where we stand in this family.” He grinds his teeth at that last part. I may not know much a

BlueAfter Artemis leaves, I stand in the hallway and try to figure out the best way to go about this. Rhea is torn up over the news and I want to be there for her, but what can I do? I don’t want to just sit back and have them handle everything while they work through everything emotionally. It’s no secret, things were strained between all of them but that was still Artemis’s parents and that has to be hard for him. Before I can come up with a plan one of the babies starts crying. All of them have a different cry and this one is Eros. I walk into the nursery and pick him up right away. His head turns to my boob as soon as he’s in my arms. Before I take him out to feed, I check on Selene and Damion, but they are still asleep.Those two sleep like the dead when they want to except apparently at night when the smallest sound has them wide awake. In the end all of them end up in bed with me and Artemis to finish off the night. Not that either of us care much, we love cuddling u

ArtemisI hadn’t heard from my grandfather in several weeks and I’m wondering when he will send Iris to us. I’m willing to fly to wherever they are and pick her up myself but any attempts at contacting my grandfather have gone unanswered. That is until Rhea comes stumbling into the house looking as if she’s seen a ghost. “Artemis…” It sounds like saying that much was too much effort. “What?” “Rhea? What’s wrong?” Blue rushes over to my sister and helps her to sit down on the closest chair. “Rhea, what’s going on?” “Just look.” My sister hands her phone to Blue, but I can hear the audio. 'Another tragedy involving the famous Rhodes family. Unfortunately, this accident resulted in the death of three members including the Patriarch of the family, his son and his daughter-in-law. The following information may be upsetting for some. The police and rescue crew discovered the pilot a mile away and the members of the family different distances from the crash. Ou

ArtemisSeeing Blue juggle, the children’s home and motherhood is like watching a bee buzzing around a hive. She has been going non-stop and is trying so hard to make up for the time she lost not being there to help. I know she thinks that she will let someone down if she isn’t giving one hundred percent of herself in everything she does, but I can see her burning out. At night she’s been crashing as soon as her head hits the pillow, but she’s up any time the triplets need to be changed or fed. I try to help as best I can, but she always tells me to sleep, and she will handle things. Only she doesn’t realize that she sleeps through a few of the nightly cries, and I make sure nothing wakes her. Now that she will let the babies in the nursery, I turn off the monitor while I’m in there and switch to getting alerts on my phone. That way she can sleep, and I’ll still be able to hear the babies. She needs the rest. Since the babies came, I’ve been in full dad duty. Not that

BlueThe first few weeks home with the triplets is chaos. Lilly is such a sweet girl and even though she needs a lot of help with things she hasn’t complained once having to share our time. Artemis has made everything so much easier by just being here and helping wherever it’s needed. He was joking about the personal chief either. I mean when does he ever not mean these things? I should know that by now. He also did have a whole medical room set up in the house. There are plans to expand the house even more thanks to all the plans he has. Athena found a house down the street from us and has been so happy with her decision to adopt. She’s an amazing mother and it’s been great having her so close by. Rhea, not wanting to be left out also bought a house on our street and has been stopping by with her kids almost everyday much to Artemis’s displeasure. He’s gotten a lot better with having his sisters around but he’s still his grumpy self with them. Now they just find it fu
