Yorkdare Bay: The Elites Part Fifty-Five
The court room was suspiciously empty as Kelley and Milana sat down in the cordoned off area behind the desk where Mason sat with Lee and another woman. The woman, Hailey Michaelson, had met with Mason the previous day and discussed the case at length.“Why isn’t Andrea here?” Milana whispered to Kelley.He looked around the court room and noticed that Marcus Holt and his three attorneys were there, none of his other cronies had arrived yet and Andrea was a no show. Her absence didn’t sit well with Kelley and now he was sure something had happened to her.An officer stepped through a door and stood in the middle of the room right in front of the raised dais where the judge would sit. “All rise.”They all stood up and Kelley looked at the judge as he walked in. One of Marcus’s lawyer’s nodded his head at the judge and Kelley knew that Mason had already lost, no matter how good Hailey’s arguments were.“Holt versus James case 459/5 presided over by Judge Donald McPherson.”“Good morning

Mason sat on the bottom stair and stared out at nothing. The house was quiet and dark. Carey had been sedated after John took her home. She’d been beside herself with grief. Mason himself didn’t feel anything except numb.Grace’s cries still rang in his ears and Kelley had left an hour ago, too afraid to leave him alone. The numbness was spreading through his entire body and seeping into his soul. Grace was his whole life, the reason he got up in the mornings, she was his heart beat.Mason cocked his head to the side as he heard a car pull up in the street, a car door closed and then another and he shook his head. He didn’t want to see anyone and he had a pretty good idea that it was Kelley that had come back, probably with Connor or Lee.A gruff curse and then his doorbell rang. Mason looked at the door, not wanting to open it. A loud bang on the door. “Mason!” It wasn’t Kelley or Lee, they had keys and they wouldn’t knock. This was a voice he knew but couldn’t place immediately.Mas

“Kelley …”Kelley opened his eyes and shifted. Milana was asleep on his chest and opposite him sat Jesse and Marley, both of them asleep as well. Kelley’s eyes focused and the waiting room came into view and then Drummond’s face.“Lee?”“He’s out of surgery.”Kelley got to his feet as he gently moved Milana so her head could rest on the backrest of the chair. His shirt was rumpled and they’d been waiting for hours. At the end of the waiting room stood David and Cecile with the twins.“Is he okay?”“He’s okay, he’ll be in a lot of pain when he wakes up. One bullet nicked his kidney, the other two went straight through, missed his spine by millimeters and another one lodged above his hip.”“Thanks, Ulrich. What about Marella?”“They couldn’t save the baby but she’ll pull through.”Kelley rubbed a hand over his face and looked at Ulrich Drummond, the doctor that had stitched up his head the night Jule had died. They’d stayed in contact and now Ulrich was his go to doctor on the side. He

“I’m not going!”Kelley sighed and sat down on the edge of their bed. He was exhausted, worried and afraid. Milana’s stubbornness wasn’t helping and her blatant refusal to follow his orders were just adding to everything else he felt.“Mila …”“No, Kelley! I’m staying here with you!”Kelley stood up and lost some of his control. “You’ll fucking do as I say! This is for your safety! You’re going and that’s final!” He stormed out of the room and slammed the door shut, Milana’s flinching figure barely registering.In the study he paced up and down, his irritation just elevating with every passing second. Scelto Island was a fortress and it was one of their first investments after they’d registered Nascosto Scelto. The island was located ten miles from mainland Ridge Valley City, close enough if they needed to head to the mainland for an emergency but also far enough to see a speedboat coming.Milana was pushing his buttons since everyone else was busy packing for their trip. They had to

The private jet levelled in the air and the seatbelt lights went off. Jesse looked at each passenger and then his eyes fell on Milana. She was still out and he was sure that Connor had misjudged the dosage. She was a tiny thing, reaching Kelley’s shoulder in high heels, petite bordering on too skinny.For her size though she was fierce as hell and according to Kelley had quite a mouth on her. She was going to be pissed when she woke up. His gaze returned to Marley who looked at him through narrowed eyes.“If you keep staring at her like that I might just get jealous.”Jesse smiled as he took Marley’s hand. “You’ve got absolutely nothing to worry about. That girl loves your brother.”“You know, Jesse, that’s not helping your case at all.”“I was pretty sure you knew that I only have eyes for you. I did follow you around like a lost puppy even after you broke up with me.”Marley smiled. “You did. I’m just kidding … I’m not worried, Jesse.”“I am, but not about this.”David stood up from

Kelley sat in the passenger seat of the SUV as Connor followed the ambulance. They had gotten Lee discharged after a week and Ulrich had transformed one of the guest rooms into a hospital room. Lee wasn’t on his feet yet but he’d be safer at Kelley’s house.Mason stood by the front door as the ambulance pulled up and he smiled as the doors opened. Lee was strapped to a gurney but he lifted his head and gave Mason a smile. Kelley and Connor walked up to him and together they got Lee settled.“Any word from Blain?”Kelley sat down in an armchair close to Lee’s bed and leaned back against the headrest. “They’re in Puerto Rico.”Lee nodded his head but didn’t say anything else. Mason shifted on the other side and both Kelley and Lee looked at him. “I want to speak to Kirk.”“We should. With everything happening I haven’t been down to the basement. Black’s there too.”Lee frowned. “Why’s Black in there?”“How good were your drugs, Lee? I told you in the hospital that he was here.” Kelley s

“He’s telling the truth.” Kelley looked at Mason as he said those words.“Andrea said basically the same. Kirk never touched her, he tried to help her.”Lee swung his legs off the bed and sat looking at them. “He did get her out of there.”“So we’re in agreement? We kill him and send them his picture? Make them sweat a little?”Connor stood in the doorway and listened to their conversation. “We can have Blaire wire it anonymously but they’ll still know who did it.”Mason nodded his head. “They’ll be pissed off. Where exactly is your mother, Kelley?”“I’m going to have to bring her in before we do this. Charles has always controlled her and I’m not sure if that spell has broken, even with all the years that she’s been gone.”“You should get her to the island, it’s the safest place for everyone. You can check on your wife while you’re at it.”Lee didn’t hide the smirk on his face and Kelley shook his head. “She won’t go with anyone else. Have Blaire track her and book me a flight to whe

Marley, Milana and Andrea sat around the kitchen table having finished lunch a while ago. Steel stood in the corner trying to blend in but however much he tried Milana couldn’t forget his presence. She wondered briefly if Marley knew her mother was on her way. They’d been on the island for eight days and even though every care had been taken with their comfort in mind, she didn’t want to be there.“I can’t believe Marcus Holt was an even bigger asshole than I thought!” Marley’s fists were clenched as they listened to Andrea’s story.“The worst part is he has Grace. I can’t even imagine what Mason is going through.”“If I know my brother, and I do, they’ll find a way to get Grace back.”Milana nodded her head. “They will. Kelley’s said as much.”“Looks like you two are cozying up.”Milana shrugged as she looked at Marley. “I don’t know, he did drug me.”“I haven’t even spoken to Mason about everything. He must hate me.” Andrea lowered her head and Marley gripped her hand.“Mason doesn’

It was a week later when Jesse called him. It was a go. Nobody talked about his little meltdown, instead they walked on eggshells around him. Lee and Mason hovered, worked out of his study and at night Milana occupied his mind with sex. It wasn’t a bad deal, except that they all watched him, constantly.Nobody told her that it was Ernesto that he had killed and neither did he. He kept quiet and he waited. He tried to be himself, it was hard, but he tried. It didn’t fool his brothers though. They knew something was up and Connor finally broke the ice.“I can’t really decide who’s the crazier motherfucker, you or Lee.”Kelley looked up from his laptop and Lee huffed out a laugh. “Kelley. Definitely Kelley.”“You stabbed your father over thirty times, how am I crazier than you?”Mason leaned back against the sofa and took turns to look at them. “Did you see that guy’s face? You caved his skull in with your bare hands!”“Soft in the head just took on a whole new meaning for me,” Kelley sa

The front door opened as Kelley walked up the two wide stone steps. “Welcome to Meadow Lake, Kelley.”“Ernesto.”Kelley followed him to his office and they sat down on the two sofas facing each other. Ernesto poured them each a drink, assuming that Kelley would want one. He didn’t really but he took it and emptied the glass.“So what brings you to my little town?” Ernesto looked smug and Kelley fought to keep the sneer from his face.“I want to know where Milana’s mother is,” Kelley said.“I see.”Kelley’s expression remained stoic and he could see Ernesto was thinking about his answer. It wouldn’t be a good answer, Kelley knew that too. Kelley shifted slightly and pulled the pistol from under his jacket.Ernesto’s eyes followed the movement and his left eye twitched as the pistol came to rest on Kelley’s thigh. “Where is she?”“She’s dead. She killed herself four years ago,” Ernesto said calmly.“You didn’t think to share that news with her daughter?”Ernesto shifted and Kelley’s han

Kelley walked into his study with a grin on his face. He’d barely slept the previous night, despite his exhaustion. Once hadn’t been enough and he’d reached for Milana a few times until the sun rose and he’d gotten up for Kyzer.He walked over to the couch area and moved the one he and Milana had been on back to its original place. His tie was on the back of the other couch and it slipped to the floor against the wall just as he reached for it.Kelley moved the couch away from the wall and bent down to retrieve his tie. The wooden part of the skirting lay on the floor and he pushed the couch further away and picked it up. He looked at the piece in his hand, the edges a little jagged, like it had been cut out.He pulled his phone from his pocket and turned the flashlight app on and directed the light into the hole that had been hidden by the skirting piece. He lay flat on his stomach as he moved his phone and something caught his eye.Kelley stuck his fingers inside and it gripped the

The dining room remained quiet for exactly twenty seconds when Kelley walked out before everyone started talking at the same time.“That was intense,” Sylvie breathed.“You!” Marley stood up and pointed her finger at Sylvie. “You couldn’t keep your eyes off him the entire time. Get over it, he’ll never love you. He loves her!” Marley pointed at Milana and sat back down.“Shut up, Marley,” Jesse said softly.“Is that true?” Mason asked. “Are you still in love with Kelley?”“I should go talk to him,” Lee said.“No!” Milana said fiercely. “I’ll go talk to him, if any of you go up there now he’ll probably kill you. He won’t hurt me.”“Says the one that tried to kill him,” Marley muttered.“You created this whole mess, Marley. You should listen to Jesse and shut the fuck up,” Milana hissed and walked out of the dining room.Nobody moved and then Jeannie stood up and glared at all of them. “This is all levels of fucked up but Kelley’s right about one thing. You all want to get angry and gla

The weeks sped by and Kelley became broodier and quieter than ever before. He spent more and more time in his study catching up on work and spreading their business further, moving across continents and into other markets.He went to sleep each night with his back turned towards Milana but they always woke up attached to each other in some way. Today would be a test for all of them. They were planning a family dinner and Kyzer was already three months old.He rubbed his temples, wishing the headache would go away. It was the one constant ever since the coma. He had one every night and probably would for the rest of his life. He had an hour before everyone would knock down his front door.Milana walked out of the bathroom, a towel wrapped around her body as Kelley closed the bedroom door behind him. She didn’t look at him but rather looked past him. His grip on her arm made her waver because he hadn’t hurt her, not once since that night he gave his ultimatum.“Mila …”“I need to get re

Kelley was standing by the crib when Kyzer’s face scrunched up and he picked him up before he had the chance to scream. He changed him and then sat in the rocking chair as he fed him the bottle he’d made. He didn’t feel like he’d missed anything but Kyzer was bigger and heavier and his face had changed a little.The door opened and Kelley looked up just as he pulled the empty bottle from Kyzer’s mouth. He placed the bottle on the table next to the rocking chair and lifted Kyzer to his shoulder. Three burps later and Kyzer was already half asleep.Milana had remained standing in the doorway, leaning against it. Tears were running down her cheeks and she hadn’t bothered to wipe them away. Kelley tucked Kyzer in, sighing softly in his sleep, before he turned to face Milana.He gripped her hand in his as he walked past her and pulled her behind him towards their bedroom. His bedroom, since none of her things had been in the dressing room when he’d changed earlier. He waited until she was

Kelley’s eyelids fluttered and he blinked a few times before the ceiling came into focus. He tried to swallow and felt the nausea rising. Kelley’s hand rose to his face and he felt the tube going down his nose.He started pulling, slowly and swallowed the nausea down. The pipe seemed never ending and when the last bit popped out of his nose, he gagged. The beeping was low in his ears but irritatingly there. Kelley turned to look at it with a frown and then he switched it off.He ripped the patches off his chest and stumbled to the bathroom. His hand was against the wall because his balance was up to shit. Something was trailing on the floor behind him and he felt for the light switch and stepped back as his reflection appeared in the mirror.“What the fuck,” Kelley whispered.He looked down and saw the bag half-filled with urine. ‘Why the hell do I have a catheter?’ he thought to himself as he picked it up and placed the bag on the counter. His head felt fuzzy but he wasn’t in pain at

Five weeks later …Mason looked at his phone for the hundredth time. It wasn’t going to magically ring. He rubbed his hands over his face and walked out of his office at the warehouse. His calm veneer was cracking, his soul was splitting off piece by piece.Their family was breaking and he had no idea how to fix it or even if he wanted to try and fix it. Carey wasn’t talking to him, Marella wasn’t talking to Lee and Connor was like a bear with a sore tooth. Grace had been with Carey for two days now, she’d taken her for the weekend.Marley was the only woman that was talking to them. Steel had drifted to the other side, he’d had no choice. Milana was his detail and he stuck to her side. Connor had lost his shit, broken three chairs and Steel had had to drag him away from Milana.Kelley had survived brain surgery, even though the odds had been stacked heavily against him. There had been swelling, another brain bleed and another surgery, he’d survived that as well, even though his docto

Two weeks passed and they’d fallen into a routine with Kyzer. Kelley did most of the heavy lifting, bringing Kyzer to their bed so Milana could feed him. The doctor’s timeline had been four weeks and Kelley made sure she stuck to it.She looked healthier, her hair shining again although she hadn’t gained any considerable weight yet, though Kyzer had. His pediatrician was happy with everything and Kelley felt like he could breathe easier.He hadn’t heard from Sylvie and he doubted he would and as the days passed he felt more comfortable. Mila looked more and more like herself again and at night she slept in his arms, her head on his chest like they’d always done.Kelley opened his eyes and gripped his erection through his pajama pants. He hated sex dreams, especially now. It was still early, not even six am yet. Milana’s side of the bed was empty and his cock twitched at the thought of her.Kelley closed his eyes again and tried to adjust himself in the loose pants. “Do you need help w
