Mag-log inIn the Morning I lay propped up on bed as Brandon paces up and down, he is on the edgy and tense.“Like I told you yesterday, there will be a full moon today. Noah should skip school. Don’t leave the house for anything. Sandra and Asher will spend the night here with you, and the extra guards will arrive later.”I sigh, rubbing the remaining sleep from my eyes. “Are you sure we’ll be safe?”He moves toward the bed quickly and presses a kiss to my forehead. “Yes. I’ll make sure of it. Just promise me you’ll all stay indoors.”“I promise, Brandon.” Sandra and Asher arrive in the afternoon and the house feels full . We watch the kids olay games all day using it as a medium to stay calm . Noah and Asher, worn out from playing the games all day, sleep off early, I tuck them into Noah’s bed and I leave their door ajar then Instep into Amanda’s room, where I find she and Sandra whispering.“Are they asleep?” Sandra asks softly.I grin. “Out like a light. Come on, ladies, the men ar
In the evening Dinner is a very quiet, somber affair. I know Gabe has probably informed the men already and they are just waiting for Noah to go to bed before the interrogation starts. I shiver, picking up my glass of water and taking a long sip. I catch Brandon’s eye briefly his face taut, and he stares at me for a moment before turning to Dawson and whispering something I can’t quite catch.Noah yawns and I slip out of my chair. “Come on, Noah, bedtime.” Relieved , I need to escape the oppressive atmosphere .He mumbles good night as we head up with Amanda in tow. Once he is asleep I head back down the stairs reluctantly as Amanda retires for the night. I find the men in the living room with a rom-com playing softly on the screen. Once I squeeze in between Desmond and Shawn, the movie is paused. The room is tense; they are all watching me, waiting patiently for me to speak. Brandon leans forward and fixes his eyes on me, his wolf barely restrained under the surface. Oohh,
I wake up with Karly on my mind. I don’t know why, but my instincts is telling me to send her a message, and I do just that. I reach for the phone on my bedside and send her a message from my anonymous Instagram account:“Hey Rabbit, I hope the hole is comfortable enough? Any new clues? If so, holla.”I place the phone back on the table and get out of bed. After a shower I don a long nude maxi dress and head to Noah. I find him wearing his jacket with Amanda tugging on his tie. I lean on his doorway smiling “Good morning, Mummy,” he says as I walk in closer to watch Amanda’s work.“Hey, honey.”“Morning, Boss,” Amanda says without taking her eyes off his tie.“Morning, dear. I think it looks perfect. Come on, let’s have some cereal before you both head out.” After dropping Noah off, we drive into the garage and find Amanda getting ready to leave with Bill, her guard. Gabe quickly descends and walks to her, leaning in to give her a quick kiss.I step out of the car slower, givi
In the evening after dinner I escort Noah to bed with Amanda. We sit with him until he sleeps off then I give him a kiss on his head as Amanda whispers,“They look so peaceful when they are sleeping,” and I laugh.“I concur…”We tiptoe out of his room and enter Amanda’s to have some little girl talk. As I settle in on the bed, I sight a new huge teddy bear dominating a corner.“Awww, this is so cute.” I get up and walk towards it, touching its paws.She laughs, settling it on the bed. “Gabe got it for me. In his words, to keep guard while I sleep.”I chuckle. “Sappy much?”She blushes. “I know, but I love it. I love him,” she whispers as she stares longingly at the teddy bear.I reach over and squeeze her hands, bringing her back to the present.“I am so happy for the both of you, Amanda. If anyone deserves to be happy, it’s you, and I am glad you found it with Gabe.” She fixes her gaze on me, eyes soft, nearly glassy with tears.“Thank you, Boss.” She leans over and gives me a brief
We form a line by the first hole. Desmond is a silent strength beside me. He squeezes my hand once, then steps back. Gabe and Amanda move to the courtside seats, their eyes on our every move. Geena smirks as Morgan settles on her side, both looking arrogant, not knowing they’re about to be fed cow dung. Haha. “Elders first,” Geena says with a fake smile, even though her eyes are filled with hate. “I don’t mind if I do. “ I get into position, focus, and take a solid aim, watching with satisfaction as my ball soars down the fairway. Desmond claps for me softly. “That was a wonderful shot,” he murmurs. Geena takes her own turn and she swings too fast. The ball veers off and falls into the trees. Amanda bursts out laughing, trying but failing to cover her mouth and contain her happiness. Morgan fixes his cold eyes on her. “You are distracting her.” Amanda leans on Gabe, mumbling loud enough for us all to hear. “Fifty grand in my Boss’s account, eh!” Gabe smirks, not sa
On the pitch, Amanda holds her club and takes the first swing, clearly missing the ball. “Strike 1.” Gabe smirks. “Gabe!” Amanda pouts, and he drops his club and pulls her into his arms, kissing her all over until she starts laughing again. I just shake my head and get in position. Desmond leans into me, adjusting my legs, and whispers, “I know you can do much better than that, my princess.” I smirk and take a perfect shot ball falling into the hole. I raise my brow at Desmond. “Do you see how it’s done?” He chuckles. I line up to take another shot when I hear the sound of another golf cart pulling up across the lawn. It’s very loud and fast, deliberately disturbing our peace.I use my hand to shade my eyes, trying to get a look at its occupants. “Desmond, do you know that rude couple? Why are they making so much noise?” The cart parks soon enough, and to my utter despair Geena steps out, all decked out in full white golf attire, and wearing dark shades. As if that wasn’t bad
