Chapter 401

“All I did was mention that our grandparents seem to be taking care of your kids an awful lot,” Cathy said defensively.“No, you accused me of being a bad mother,” Sandra growled. “You said if you had a child, you wouldn’t need anyone’s help. For your information, I left my children with reliable adults who would take care of them and went to France to be with my husband, who has been under a lot of stress with this stupid deal he’s been trying to make. I thought I was doing the right thing and being supportive to my husband. If I had known I was going to answer to you, I would never have gone. It would have saved a lot of anger in the long run. At least I wouldn’t have found my husband in another woman’s arms. If you think you’re so damn good at raising kids, then prove it, otherwise get off my ass.”Sandra stormed past Andrew, nearly knocking the delivery boy out of her way as she stomped to her car. She got in and started the engine then pulled out, barely missing the boy’s scooter

“I kind of blew up on her,” she began, feeling very apprehensive about telling him the whole story.“And?” he prodded.With another sigh, she drew in the courage to forge forward.“I told her I found you kissing another woman.” Sandra held her breath as she heard him sigh. She knew he’d be angry with her, but it was an obstacle that seemed to be lingering between them. An obstacle that needed to be jumped over and forgotten.“I thought you believed me,” he began after a moment. “I do, and I’m sorry,” she told him, her tears falling down her cheeks like unrestrained raindrops. “She accused me of being a bad mother, and I just…exploded. I’m sorry, Creighton. I didn’t even realize what I’d said until it was too late. If I could take it all back, I would.”“Stop beating yourself up over this,” Creighton told her in a tone that assured her he was finished with the past argument. “I blame myself. I should never have allowed Tam Mai’s tears to affect me the way they did. If it wasn’t for t

Chapter 403

“Bordeaux is a beautiful area,” Giovanni told Fontanna as he steered the car through the streets. “It’s really come alive in recent years, after they built the public transit system. The property sits just outside of town, on the opposite end of the vineyards, but still close enough for you to visit the main hub of activity.”Sabrina sat on the passenger side of the car trying to find something she could find an interest in, but all she could see was Andre walking the streets or sitting and sipping wine at one of the bistros. She hated the idea of coming here, but Giovanni insisted that she visit the estate to see what she was giving up. If it were up to her, there would be nothing to give up. She didn’t want any of it and was eager to get it off her hands. The fact that she could provide something to Fontanna, and Jacques made her feel like the anger and hatred she had for her ex-fiancé, and would-be killer, wouldn’t linger in her mind or heart forever. Perhaps they could give her a

“How do you feel, now that you saw the mansion?” Giovanni asked Sabrina as they lounged in a warm bubble bath.“I will admit, it isn’t as bad as I imagined, but I want the old lady’s things moved out so Fontanna can start fresh, without worrying about her trying to come back.”“It will take a good month, if not longer. There is a lot of personal belongings that will need to be disposed of. I think we should have Derek contact her solicitors. He can advise them that the place was sold, without letting her know any further information. Perhaps that will discourage her from trying to contact Juliene, or any neighbors she may have been friends with.”“I want to sell the other properties as well,” Sabrina told him. “I was thinking about offering it as a co-op and allow those who are already living in the flats to purchase it for their own. I’ll offer a package deal, with an allowance that will allow them to fix the place up right.”“That’s very generous,” Giovanni said, kissing the back of

Chapter 405

Once they returned to the hotel, Giovanni had arranged to have the electric turned back on, paid for a healthy supply of groceries for the small staff, and began the preparations for moving Fontanna from Paris. By the time winter settled in, the mother and son would be cozy and warm in their own home, Cathy’s wedding gown would be completed – at last – and she and Giovanni would be married. If she had to anticipate how this year would end when it started, she would never have dreamt of any of this. It was the ending to an unusually long year, and the beginning to a dream come true.Irena sat at her desk, the report of Cathy’s CT scan in front of her. She and Dr. Burns had reviewed the findings as well as the images and had decided that surgery would be a good idea. They were both confident it would be successful. After speaking with Cathy earlier that same day, she had arranged for the surgery on Wednesday, the clinic’s normal O.R. day. She was disappointed that the woman had decided

Chapter 406

Sabrina closed the lid on the package with a grin and sealed it shut with a wide strip of tape. She had been working diligently on Cathy’s wedding dress, her own gown, and finishing the details for Irena’s, hoping she would have the courage to call her sister. She hadn’t spoken to her since their argument in Yorkshire, and that was over a month ago. She was frustrated that things had become so strained between them. She and Irena had always been close, since they were small children, and to not have her there as they planned their weddings was difficult.Emma sent out emails to the family, alerting everyone of Irena’s chosen wedding date of November eighteenth, assuring them that invitations would arrive within the next few days. With her own wedding less than a month away, she knew she had to send out announcements, but she just hadn’t had the time.Sabrina placed the label on the package, stamped her return address in the corner, then pushed it aside for the postman to pick up the n

“If it works out, we can spend a week in the states, then come back in time for your sister’s wedding, plan your winter show, attend your brother’s wedding, have a nervous breakdown, then get ready for our baby.”Sabrina laughed as the man laid his head back against the sofa cushions. There was something very endearing about the way he liked to play the hero, even if he acted the wounded warrior part more often than heroic.“I could incorporate the designs from my last two shows, as well as the three I’ve been working on, and do a one-for-all show instead of a specific season.”“It would save a lot of time on your part,” Giovanni assured her, watching as she stood and walked to her desk, rummaging through the designs and papers strung out across the top. “If this works out, you may find yourself wanting to move to New York.”“Not a chance,” Sabrina assured him. “I love Paris, and it’s the farthest I want to be from my family.”“A second office there may help you with sales,” Giovanni

Chapter 408

Sabrina paced her office for several minutes trying to figure out the right way to approach her sister. It had taken her a week to build the courage to call her, though she had yet to pick up the phone. She was afraid Irena would hang up when she heard her voice, or shout at her.Drawing a deep breath, she sat down at her desk and took out her cellphone. She had to get it over with. She wanted Irena to be a part of her wedding, and she wanted to break this wall of ice that had grown between them.Playing with the ring on her finger, Sabrina slid her thumb across the screen and unlocked it. She sorted through the phone numbers until she found her sister’s, but before she could press it, she lost the courage and set her phone back on the desk. She couldn’t believe how difficult it was to make a simple phone call.Sabrina jumped when her phone chimed a text alert. She smiled when she saw Giovanni’s name come across the screen then opened the phone again.“Call your sister,” it read, then

The two continued to speak for a few more minutes until the voice sounded in the background again.“I’m sorry, sis, but I have to go,” Irena sighed. “Those of us who’s jerky-ex didn’t leave a fortune to, have to work for a living. Let me know when you get things arranged, and don’t be a stranger. I miss talking with you.”“I’ve missed it too and thank you. So much.”“For what?” Irena asked, the curiosity echoing in her cheerful voice.“For forgiving me,” Sabrina told her. “I’ve been so afraid to call you. I was afraid you hated me.”“I did for a while, but after destroying Sandra’s hay, I realized what an arse I was being to everyone. Listen, call me tonight if you get the chance and we’ll talk some more, and stop worrying about the bastard’s money. Spend it and have fun. I want a list of all the crazy things you’re going to do with it when you call me. I love you.”“I love you, too,” Sabrina smiled.The sisters hung up, both feeling much happier than they had started out. A weight fe

Chapter 410

“I meant, having the surgery without telling Andrew. He is not a very forgiving person. His job has caused him to doubt a lot of people over the years, and he’s developed a hard shell to many things. I doubt he will be forgiving if he ever learns that you went behind his back and did something this serious without his knowledge.”“I’ve already considered his reaction, and I know when I give him a baby of his own, he’ll forget all about it. Besides, he doesn’t know and he’s not going to, unless you tell him.”“I’m not obliged to tell him anything without your consent,” Irena told her.“And I’m not giving it to you,” Cathy said, a look of defiance on her face.Irena set her jaw then turned and continued out the door as the nurse came around the edge of the curtain. She held a tray in her hands with all the tubing and equipment she needed to set up the IV. She set the tray down on the bedside table, then began issuing orders to lay down as she opened the computer to verify Cathy’s name a
