The Proposal (Book 3 of The Arrangement series) Chapter 72- Priorities
The music wasn’t the only thing that died when Courtney came back to the penthouse, so did the fucking mood. Leo was no longer so cheerful or upbeat. Grayson became more sullen and distant. The billionaire started to fall back into old habits of working long hours and then shutting himself alone in his room at night. Only this time around, he also developed a habit of sequestering himself for hours in the panic room when he thought everyone was asleep. Amber knew he was shutting them all out again. And she didn’t like it one fucking bit. It hurt, especially after all they’d been through together. Grayson was trying to build his walls too high for her to climb. And even when he was home, he wasn’t present. His mind focused on his work or elsewhere. Hell the man had even returned to work earlier than he initially planned and Amber was convinced it wasn’t just to get away from his cunt wife. She got the feeling he was also avoiding her as well. After a solid week of his anti-social, work
The Proposal (Book 3 of The Arrangement series) Chapter 73- Credit Where Credit Was Due
Amberleigh had to give credit where credit was due. Grayson still did take time out of his busy schedule to take Leo back to Docs when it was time for his staples to be removed. Grayson also got regular reports from the home health nurse Jamar. But he was certainly no longer as hands on anymore.At least Grayson skipped out of work early one afternoon to take Leo to meet his brother Pierre. Neither Grayson nor Amber wanted Leo going anywhere alone or overdoing it, especially after he had dislodged one of his staples. Leo also didn’t want his brother to come to the penthouse to pay him back. Grayson chaperoned Leo and didn’t allow his friend to climb up the stairs. The billionaire also made sure the brothers played nice.But it was clear Grayson was stretched thin. Trying to juggle too much. Amber kept trying to talk some sense into his thick head, but her words often seemed in vain. While he did stop spending as much time in the panic room going over camera footage, she still caught h
The Proposal (Book 3 of The Arrangement series) Chapter 74- Just Keep It In Your Fuckin' Pants Grayson!
Leo had a guilty grin on his face as he slid his arm around Amber’s back. She wondered if he was thinking about his own future wedding and proposal. He had promised to ask Amber one day to be his wife. That thought didn’t only bring joy to her heart like it should. Would she be able to say yes? To commit herself to spend a lifetime with a man who was perfect and loved her unconditionally?There was no doubt she loved Leo. He was a great man, the kind rarely found. One of the most kind and selfish men she’d ever had the good fortune to have met. And he didn’t care about her soiled past or where she’d come from. So it should have been a simple answer really which shouldn’t need a lot of thought. But still, there was that seed of hesitation and a lingering doubt in her head.“We can discuss such matters later Carl. For now,, I’m still cross with my Leo. For a son who speaks so highly of his mother, and yet he didn’t even tell me he was having surgery!” her fierce gaze turned towards her
The Proposal (Book 3 of The Arrangement series) Chapter 75-Bittersweet
Amberleigh was tempted to spit in Courtney’s food, but she knew the unwelcomed bitch was unlikely to eat most of it anyway. Courtney not only had an aversion to being a good person, she also avoided carbs like the plague. No traces of muffin top or cellulite was tolerated on the heiress’ body. Amber could pinch more than an inch on her own hips and was loving life because of it. The men in her life had never complained so she was going to keep doing her without shame. Life was far too fucking short without sugar and carbs in her opinion.Amber had prepared Lucinda’s favorite foods, most of them being carb laden comfort foods at that, smothered pork chops, mashed potatoes and gravy, baked Mac'n' cheese, cheese garlic drop biscuits, and cooked collard greens. For dessert Amber had made Boston Crème pie. She had it on good authority that good pie was the way to Lucinda’s heart. Leo had pretty much made his Mama’s pie himself but wanted Amber to take full credit for it. Amber was willing
The Proposal (Book 3 of The Arrangement series) Chapter 76- Liar, Liar
The only silver lining in the shit storm was the fact Courtney wasn’t at the penthouse much during the day. She filled her days with spa and yoga and lunches to catch up with her like minded band of evil trolls. All the rich girl shit that did nothing for society. Non-productive and useless. Prisoners picking up garbage on the side of the roads contributed more to society than Courtney Van Tessin.She had no actual job of course. Had never worked a day in her pampered life. She had lived off Daddy and now Grayson. And whomever she fucked. As Amber had little doubts Dr. Gainey wasn’t the only one fuckney was screwing on the side. Because the cunt wasn’t getting any from Grayson.That was another perk of Amber taking over the review of the security footage, all the comings and goings in the penthouse. Grayson never went to Courtney’s room for a late night visit. The bitch had tried to enter his a time or two, but Grayson always refused to let her in, much to Amber’s satisfaction. Amber
The Proposal (Book 3 of The Arrangement series) Chapter 77- I'll Pack The Snacks
The next morning after a hearty breakfast, Amberleigh and Leo began their reconnaissance mission involving the Godwin. It began with Leo giving a quick call to the secretary of Grayson’s office to fish for information. The chef knew the woman well enough to have a laugh with Holland and ask her about her son Easton. While he chatted her up, Amber sat in the background making quick work of the piece of bacon Leo had left behind on the tray. There was no need to let it go to waste. That was a cardinal sin in her books leaving a piece of bacon behind. Amber could see it in the tense lines of Leo’s face when Holland inadvertently called Grayson out on his bullshit. Leo had made a comment about seeing if the president of the Godwin Railroad had any appointments with the investors this afternoon because Leo wanted to stop by the office. The chef said “Oh I see. My mistake,” before he politely ended the call. Amber had finished off Leo’s juice too by the time he filled her in. “He lied abo
The Proposal (Book 3 of The Arrangement series) Chapter 78- Everyone Has Their Price
It didn’t take Amberleigh long to realize that real life stake outs sucked balls. Even though she’d basically filled the back seat of the rented Chevy Malibu with snacks, and had a cooler of beverages packed in ice, she’d drained her watch battery in an hour. Then she made the mistake of drinking a large sized cup of sweet tea which had her rushing to the nearest public bathroom within the first thirty minutes in of the stake out. After a second trip to the bathroom and a whole hour and a half into their surveillance, she was bored as fuck.Leo chuckled from behind the wheel. He took a bite of the beef jerky Amber had made as an impulse buy during her second trip to the gas station bathroom. Her man had far more patience than Amber ever would. He was content to watch the parking garage of Godwin’s corporate office and quietly contemplate things. While Amber felt her bladder filling up again as she dug through a bag of chips for the most flavorful one. She’d already filed her nails. An
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
