CHAPTER EIGHTY EIGHT
JoJo woke before Riley did, there'd been nightmares that didn't let her hold onto the oblivion for too long.
She was glad Riley wasn't subjected to the same fate though that didn't hold for long.
Tiny feet and big, soulful brown eyes found her sooner than she'd have liked, clouded with visible confusion and fear.
"Come here, baby girl."
She called to her from where she stood at the door.
It did just occur to her why the room looked emptier than she last remembered it.
Jordan had been with her before she'd succumbed to the luring hands of sleep.
"Come."
Her voice was much softer, pleading and beckoning, she didn't want force her, that could be more harmful than it'd be good.
The younger girl finally gave in, and came into the room, crawling into JoJo's laps.
She held her, stroking her hair, the quietness that was hanging around the house making her nauseous.
Maybe it's always been this quiet with

After Riley was fed and out with her very own little family, Alfie and puppy, JoJo got to work searching for that little box.It was one thing to loose her mother so unexpectedly, but to loose the last trace of evidence and her only hope to bringing whoever had been behind her decade old pain to justice?No fucking way!She turned the room they'd been in inside out in her search, but it was nowhere to be found.She was already halfway done with fixing it back up when it did occur to her that she'd last seen the box while lying in that bed with Jordan.It made a lot of sense to think that he had gone missing from the room at the same time her box had and that easily translates to it possibly being in his possession.It kinda pissed her to have him butting into her family issues without her permission, even without the confirmation that he had.Stupid, yeah, but it did embarrassment to have all her linens in his hands without any contro

"No, that can't be." Jojo muttered in disgust as she watched the video playing out before her.There's no way this is true, no way it's him.It'd kill her to believe it was and see just how blind she's been all these years, to find out that her mom had been right all along......God, no.But her denial didn't bring any desired difference to what she'd seen, it didn't wipe the memory or make the video a prank.This had been the night she'd lost her father, this had been where his body had been found, there's no mistaking it, she'd never forgotten.It took Jordan rubbing down her back and asking her in a concerned voice to breathe, to realise she'd been holding her breath.Maybe if she holds it in long enough, she'd realise that all this is just a dream home wrong.Or maybe it wasn't and she was just in a hopeless denial."Please Jordan, tell me it's not him, tell me that's not Uncle Ferdie, I'll believe you."She sob

If JoJo had thought her life was a mess, the truth she'd just discovered crashed if past the grounds, it shattered every truth she's ever known and believed. Uncle Fer....... Fucking Ferdinand! That monster. He'd been the architect of a her pain and problem but he'd always crawled back to blow on them and make it seem like he'd cared. And to find out that he'd been her sperm donor, it killed her to believe it. Jordan was as struck as she was from what they'd read. She ached for her mother too, who'd had to live with all these for years, having no one to be by her side while she played sick and lost in a bid to protect her girls. It must have been hard, being in bed all year round, reliving the nightmares of both events and hating herself for being so weak. She swore she'd be stronger, for herself and Riley and they'd bring the man to Justice, for her mom. But I like her mom, she had Jordan by her side in these t

Hailey stood in front of the whole family, her seven year old palms sweaty. She'd spent the whole night reciting this all over again, so it shouldn't be a big deal, yeah? "It's okay, baby, it's just us." Jojo whispered from her seat, her very pregnant belly making her movement strenuous. Yeah, just them. Well, here goes nothing. "Uhhmm, this is my family tree....." She started a little shyly, pointing to the treelike structure balanced on the table next to her, stuck full of pictures. Her voice was so small, but it carried around the room. "I made it myself, well, mummy helped.....a lot. And I'm taking it to school for show and tell on Monday." She could see her daddy giving her an encouraging thumbs up and it put the light into her eyes and confidence in her voice. "From the top, this is Granny Meghan and Grandpa Tommy who I didn't get to meet and they gave birth to my mommy and Riley. Too bad they died b

SOMETHING ABOUT MR CEO CHAPTER TWO
It was Jojo's ringing phone that disrupted the silence in which they worked.She cringed and speedily put it off. You'd think that working in this mandatory silence for six straight months would teach her to always put her ever ringing phone on silent mode.She stealthily raised her eyes to sneak a glance at scary boss man but those hypnotic deep green orbs were already trained on her.Their gazes locked and she felt that zing of desire run down her spine to her most feminine part.Sometimes she wonders if he feels it too.She shifted uncomfortably, moving her eyes away from his, her face burning red.She tried to focus on the monitor of her system as she mutteted a quick, "I'm sorry sir."If she'd thought that time was all it was going to take to cure her of her insane attraction to her incredibly hot boss, Jordan McGrath, then she was in for a surprise.

Her mom lay frail on the bed, her opened eyes glazed and unfocused, looking worse than she's seen her yet."Mom, I'm here now." She watched for the barely there twitch of her fingers that usually indicated she was heard but it wasn't there.She took the too thin hand in both of hers."What happened, Maria?" She asked the middle aged nurse who took care of Meghan during her office hours."I found like this on the floor, her skin all pale and eyes glazed up like that."Jojo pinched the bridge of her nose, hard.This wasn't as bad as any of the mental images her mind had conjured up after she'd read that text. Everything was going to be okay, she tried convincing herself."One thing I'm sure of is that she's getting worse. And you have a lot on your hands. Don't you think it's time you paid what I've been suggesting a thought?""I
