The Proposal (Book 3 of The Arrangement series) Chapter 15- Care To Explain?
Grayson was gone for quite a while. So long that Amberleigh debated checking on the billionaire to make sure he wasn’t punching shit again or passed out on the bathroom floor. But she wanted to respect his need for space and privacy. He still had her watch, so perhaps he was calling his parents? She decided that if he didn’t emerge in ten more minutes, she would go in after his ass. In the meantime, Amber savored the coffee that Donny had hand delivered. Though she found her appetite now waning for the heaping plate of Christmas dinner favorites. Her plate of turkey, veggies, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, baked mac’ n’ cheese, and a dinner roll, looked hella better than Grayson’s plate of tofu and steamed greens. Not likely he would eat much of it or find the humor in it now. The playful mood had soured in more ways than one. Bless his heart Donny had also brought a plate with several different kinds of desserts because he couldn’t s

But Amberleigh knew the thing about good dreams was how much worse you felt when you fucking woke up. Was one truly better off to escape reality for a while, when the pain of it felt much sharper when that fantasy crumbled into ashes? Amber knew she shouldn’t entertain such dark thoughts especially at a time like this, but she couldn’t make them stop.Leo was still teetering on the edge of death. Anything could go wrong, even the Doc had warned the chef wasn’t in the clear just yet. Grayson pretended to be okay, but he had yet to believe his new wife had a hit out on him, let alone deal with the emotional implications of such a harsh reality. A woman he’d grown up with and had loved once wanted him dead. He had yet to deal with all the trauma he’d suffered during his abduction. And he still didn’t know that his brother’s death hadn’t been an accident. That was going to hurt like hell and Amber feared how he would react. No doubt in a self-destructive rage.Amber had yet to process mo

Amberleigh had made sure both of her boys were tucked in tight and had given both of them a goodnight kiss on the brow. Cori sensed her distress as Amber dabbed at her eyes while lingering at Leo’s bedside. The woman gave Amber a side hug and a promise.“I’ll take good care of them both I promise.”“Thank you. I hate to leave either one of them. But I know they’re in good hands.”“Tell you what, let’s exchange numbers and I’ll call you if anything happens while you’re out. Help put your mind at ease,” suggested Cori.“That would be wonderful thank you.”Amber tapped her smart watch against Cori’s to share their phone numbers. She also sent a text message to her father to ask him for a ride to Grayson’s penthouse in uptown. It wasn’t like she could cart a billion dollars back on the subway after all. Too many bags and too much suspicion. She couldn’t even carry all those fucking bags by herself anyway.While she waited for her father’s reply, and with Grayson finally fucking out, Amb

Amberleigh’s fury only increased the deeper she got into the penthouse and realized that cunt had called in Angelina, Maria, and Janelle on Christmas to work her impromptu party. That thoughtless bitch had pulled the maids away from celebrating the holidays with their families to serve her spoiled guests cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. Obviously, this mixer had been thrown together and not preplanned by lack of actual wait staff and caterers, using the maids to pull a triple duty tonight. They most likely prepared the food, served it, and would have to clean up from the festivities after. Classic Christmas music played from the speakers in the ceilings throughout the penthouse and no decor beyond what had already been decorated for Christmas had been added. Amber certainly got several looks as she made her way across the pristine floor and twenty or so guests. All of them screamed money and no souls, expensively dressed and draped in jewels. Courtney’s closest family and

Valencia screamed and stamped her foot like a five-year-old. Her face flushed to the color of the berries weaved in the wreaths lining the hallway. “You were a gold-digging whore who seduced my poor naive Jack no doubt! And even worse, you have Grayson believing your smear campaign against him! Jack and I can’t even get a reservation for a table or a hotel in this whole city! We had to put the lease for our new loft in my name! And Jack had to get his new Bentley shipped clear from Portland because no dealership around here would do business with him. Grayson has blacklisted him! Speaking of which, you promised me Courts, that Grayson would fix his mistake!” This was welcomed news to Amber indeed. She couldn’t help but smile. So, Grayson had retaliated against Jackson in the way he knew best, hit him where it hurt the most. The billionaire had known that night, the courts would not favor a whore over an elite member of society. His calculating move was not unlike the way Grayson had

Amberleigh was suddenly struck with the urge to call and check in on her boys. So as soon as she had kicked, pulled, dragged, cursed, and carried one billion worth of cold, hard cash into the back hallway of the penthouse, she texted Cori back at the Quick Shop. She bit down a thumbnail waiting for the reply to come. She had loaded the money onto the luggage cart, shaming herself for being so fucking out of shape, by the time she received the return message. Mr. Godwin is still sleeping soundly. Leo appears comfortable, all his vitals looking good. Latest blood count level is up to 8.7, trending up nicely J Amber sent a text back to thank Cori and she felt lighter in her chest after hearing the good news. She decided to complete her second mission of the night and then thought up a third as well. Grayson wasn’t the only one in need of fresh clothing after all. She would creep into Leo’s room and gather up some of her and Leo’s things. Because Leo would need clean cloth

It had felt damn good standing up to Jackson and removing the power Amberleigh had allowed him to still have over her life even after all these years. She felt like she had just liberated herself, no longer a slave to the past or those unresolved feeling she had towards the father of her firstborn. Too long she had waited for an apology and some validation from that piece of shit that what he had done to her and their child was wrong. But it turned out she’d been wrong all along believing that she ever needed it from him in the first place.It had been Jackson’s loss, both losing her and a son he would never get the privilege to meet or watch grow up. If anyone was sorry it was her. She pitied Jackson for the sad, unloving and unfulfilling life he was living. He’d lost the best things that had ever happened to him. His priorities so fucked up. She felt bad for Jack for the rich life he could’ve had if he’d only manned up and accepted the responsibility of the life they’d created. Chi

Amber’s fury only increased over that lying bastard’s deceit. Grayson knew her son. It made sense, the pieces falling into place. Amber hadn’t been given all the information on her son’s adoptive parents, just their first names before she got to meet them that one time before the birth. During that interview, when she had been deciding who to choose to be her son’s parents, they avoided any specific information which could possibly help her find them in the future. It was meant to be a closed adoption as Amber had wanted. But Elise had mentioned they owned a publicity firm. It was likely that this firm was the one who handled the public relations for The Godwin Railroad.Grayson had no doubt met her son and his parents through that working relationship, obviously attending company events. The picture of her son on Santa’s lap was taken at a corporate event for the railroad. Maybe the families were more than just business acquaintances and actual friends. How else would Grayson know th

Amberleigh's private chef had indeed made a spread worthy of a queen. Chocolate covered strawberries, a tantalizing fruit and cheese board, cucumber sandwiches, stuffed mushrooms, lamb kabobs, and that was just his starters. Dinner he kept a well guarded secret. Amber just hoped now he would be setting the table for three and Grayson would stay with them. He deserved to spend the holiday with those who loved him. As Amber and Grayson dug in, Leo pulled a box from beneath the counter and handed it to her. He gave her a kiss on the cheek. “Happy Birthday, Love.” “But I thought I already got my present babe,” she smiled. “Open it then. I’m sure you’ll like this one better.” Amber opened the black box to find a golden necklace inside. Dangling upon it was a pendent etched with an engraved image of the baby’s face from the last ultrasound. Well the last one Leo had been present for. Tears clouded her eyes. “Oh Leo, I love it!” Amber wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him clo
The Proposal (Book 3 of The Arrangement series) Chapter 86- Better Than Fantasy
It was a good thing Leo’s shower was so roomy, it easily fit three. Amberleigh had imagined this moment so many fucking times in her head. And she intended to make this reality so much fucking better than the fantasy which had long lived only in her imagination.She turned on the water, nearly scalding, and watched the steam fog up the glass. She ran a hand across the steamed up mirror. Her loyal servants, waited behind her, already hard, just awaiting their queen’s command.She grabbed two natural sponges from the basket on the counter and turned to them. Leo was on her left and Grayson on her right, close but their naked bodies not touching one another. While it would be hot and check another box of hers off altogether, she would not ask either of them to kiss or touch each other. She loved and respected them both enough to know Grayson wouldn’t like being with Leo in that way. If it happened naturally, then so be it. But there was nothing sexy or romantic about being forced.“Wash
The Proposal (Book 3 of The Arrangement series) Chapter 85- Not Just A Dream
Amberleigh gave Grayson a moment to think over her proposal. To make his decision. The billionaire loosened his tie like it was choking him. Beside her Leo rolled onto his side and began to run a finger up and down Amber’s bare back. He was clearly ready to go another round. And so was she. But the question remained, would Grayson be joining them?“I don’t like Leo in that way. I’m straight,” he spoke finally.Amber smiled, “It’s not your job to pleasure him or each other. Unless of course you boys want too. But it’s both of your jobs to pleasure me. You don’t have to do anything you’re uncomfortable with.”Leo began to kiss her neck, “I’ll keep my hands to myself G-Man. Except of course when it comes to her.”He ran his tongue up the side of her neck. Amber shivered and awaited the billionaire’s decision. She wasn’t going to pressure him into anything he wasn’t ready for. Grayson took a deep breath.She bit her lip, “Or you can just watch if you would like. Feel free to join in if yo
The Proposal (Book 3 of The Arrangement series) Chapter 84- An Open Invitation
Amberleigh vowed Grayson to silence over the sex of their child. She wanted to figure out a cute way to reveal to Leo it was a munchkinette she was carrying. But she wasn’t about to go out and have one of those big gender reveal parties. Those things often ended in fails. While entertaining to fucking watch on viral videos, Amber didn’t intend to try some big display to reveal her child didn’t have a penis.Since Amber wasn’t quite ready to reveal it to her father yet either, it gave her and Grayson no real chance to talk about it. Giovanni had appeared in the basement soon after the ultrasound had ended. She would have to catch Grayson in the panic room at some point to discuss his feelings over having a daughter.Amber was still trying to take it in. She wanted baby girl to only get the best parts of herself and Grayson. And she sure as fuck didn’t want her daughter treated like a pretty, dress up doll. Her baby would be afforded all the same opportunities a boy born to Grayson God
The Proposal (Book 3 of The Arrangement series) Chapter 83- Are You Sure, Doc?
Giovanni opened the rear door instead.“Ladies first,” said Grayson.They loaded into the vehicle and made the trek to the wrong side of the tracks. On the ride, Giovanni and Amber chatted about the baby and her intentions to graduate high school. Her father told her he was proud of her and again suggested Giovanni as a great name for his grandchild. He also got the usually introverted billionaire to join in the conversation and get Amber riled up over suggesting naming their child Adam Milton or Agatha Louise. No fucking way was that going to happen to her baby.Doc personally let them in the backdoor. After pleasant greetings, Amber couldn’t help but tease a bit.“I thought you had people for this doc.”He smiled, “My usual doorman now has a girlfriend. One of which he won’t be seeing outside of school hours for a while if he’s not home in the next twenty minutes.”Donny was a good kid. He would likely be home by curfew. Amber wouldn’t mind getting the chance to say hello to him ton
The Proposal (Book 3 of The Arrangement series) Chapter 82- Wouldn't You Like To Know?
Giovanni Costa, AKA Amberleigh's father, didn’t let her down. His reply was swift, I’m on my way figila. I can be there in twenty minutes. Now all that was left to do was to try and control the bleeding in Grayson’s arm and wait.Thankfully, his selfish and useless wife had retreated to her room still crying about her bloody clothes. No doubt she’d seek out poor Helga and have the woman try and scrub the stains out. Just when Amber had assumed she couldn’t hate Courtney Van Cunt more, the evil woman had outdone herself. She really was the ice queen with no heart nestled beneath her fake tits.Amber only left Grayson’s side long enough to wash her hands and then collect a few things. While she completed that task, she tried not to dwell on a troubling thought. The bathroom floor had been dry indicating Grayson hadn’t made it into the shower yet. He hadn’t slipped on water on the floor. The rug was an anti-slip rug, so it was possible he had actually displaced it while he was falling an
The Proposal (Book 3 of The Arrangement series) Chapter 81- Shut The Fuck Up Courtney!
Amberleigh decided to eat her feelings so she dug that half gallon of moose tracks ice cream from the freezer and grabbed a spoon. She planted herself at the island counter and debated checking in with Leo. She hadn’t heard from him in a while but didn’t want to come off as one of those suffocating fiancée. But Leo probably would have communicated by now if blood had been shed or he needed bailed out of jail.Before she knew it, Amber had eaten half the fucking container of ice cream as she thought about the life choices which had brought her here. She also mulled over the future and co-parenting with a man who had a lot of anger and unspoken resentment towards her.She understood where Grayson was coming from. He was hurt and angry over a ton of shit he’d just let bottle up rather than ever deal with. The murder of his brother, which he hadn’t really ever got over Adam’s death to began with. His disease, like staring down the barrel of a gun he couldn’t escape from. And seeing Amber
The Proposal (Book 3 of The Arrangement series) Chapter 80-Crossroads
Life was good despite all the darkness they were facing. Amberleigh was trying to bask in the good moments, even when they seemed few and far between. She used them to carry her through the dark ones. And there were dark times a plenty as Grayson struggled with his anger and depression. As they were all forced to coexist with a murderous cunt. As Amber’s hormones were fucked and she found herself extra sensitive. Even sappy commercials often made her cry.She had much to be thankful for though. Like her pregnancy progressing well, reaching her fifteenth week with no complications, and finally not having to pee every fucking five minutes! And most of all Leo. That man was a fucking godsend. Leo would kiss her belly every night and sing to the baby. Amber was glad that it was unlikely the baby could hear yet, but she didn’t tell Leo that. She found his new nightly ritual sweet.But Amber shouldn’t have expected anything less from him. Leo put his whole heart into the things he cared abo
The Proposal (Book 3 of The Arrangement series) Chapter 79- Edge Of Darkness
Amberleigh and Leo came up with a plan to keep Grayson’s ass out of the bars in the bad part of town and home every night by sundown. They simply started showing up at Godwin HQ every work day around five p.m. They’d hang in Grayson’s office until he decided to leave and personally escort him back to the penthouse. Amber usually annoyed the fuck out of the billionaire to the point they were in the car by seven at the latest.Leo often took the opportunity to read a book or look up new recipes to try at home. While Amber napped on the couch in G-Man’s posh office, or watched videos on the net, or raided the employee break room for snacks. It was usually her laughing at funny videos or chewing loudly which got Grayson to throw the towel in for the day and head home. He sure as fuck wasn’t happy about it.He even tried to get the pair of them banned from the building. That laughable attempt got Leo to call up Viola. She came on down to the office and scolded her son in person. She sided
