CHAPTER 4
"Whatever. You have serious issues." KENDALL was too tired to deal with his shit. Hating traveling in this sorry excuse for a car and wanting to stretch herself she refused to give him any more of her time.
Finally pulling over at a disgusting diner, Kendall almost barfed. "This is the best you could come up with?""Sorry princess, beggars can't be choosers. It’s here or the woods, choice is yours." Kendall huffed and exited the car. She hated the dirt on the ground, her shoes were very expensive and she didn't want to ruin them. She was walking on her toes to avoid marring her heels.
"What is it now?" Blake watched her walk like she was stepping on burning coal.
"The ground is dirty."
"No shit Sherlock, it’s called the earth, now hurry up we don't have all night"
"My shoes will be ruined." He looked at her like she was an alien, for fucks sake she was high maintenance and the world knew it. Why was he acting like this was news to him.
Blake once again shocked the hell out of her when he picked her up for the second time today throwing her over his shoulder. In only five strides before he was at the entrance to the diner. He put her down and didn't even look at her. Blake entered the diner and it looked like he regretted the stop as soon as he walked in. Bikers all shapes and sizes were having a drink or something to eat. Kendall didn't even look anybody's way. She walked straight in and searched for the ladies room. She could hear the men whistle and comment.
***
"Keep it in your pants boys." Kendall said to Blake’s absolute horror. She entered the ladies room and Blake was trying to figure out how to take all these fuckers on. As he waited for his taking forever bride, he purchased two sodas and waited patiently for Kendall to return.
"How much for the beauty." A big bold biker asked him.
"She's not for sale." Blake didn't look at him when he replied.
"Hundred dollars for an hour."
"You know what, ask her yourself." Blake was aware how fragile this situation was, yet it was a great way to teach her a lesson in appropriate attire. He was more than ready for trouble, let's see how Miss Princess here would handle herself.
With all the grace of a model she walked out of the ladies room. Her held high as she walked passed the men who were clearly enjoying the view.
"Hey sweet cheeks how much for an hour? Or even ten minutes I don't think it will take me long, if you know what I mean?"
"Honey you couldn't afford me." She walked up to Blake and seemed ready to leave. "When you’re ready." She was still ordering him like he was nothing. Blake sensed trouble, the big bold biker dude came toward them, as did four other big ugly boys. Blake smiled, it was go time, he grabbed Kendall and handed her the keys.

"Go! Lock yourself in the car, if you need to drive then you drive fast." Kendall wasn't sure why he was telling her this and whispering it in her ear. She looked back and was quick to understand. Not needing to be told twice Kendall followed his orders. She ran to the car and started the ignition, that’s all she knew how to do... Fuck it shouldn't be too hard to drive. She heard gunshots go off and froze. Oh boy she was in shit. She assumed D was for drive and moved the stick to D, looking for the brakes she worked that out too. When she saw Blake run out she tried to drive to him, every time she accelerated she would quickly break, she continued this motion until he caught up with her.
Blake tried to get in the passenger seat, but the door was locked. He banged on the window for her to unlock the door. She searched frantically to find an unlock button. Blake kept looking back they were coming for blood and KENDALL didn’t know how to unlock a door. Blake moved indicated where the button was located. She nodded her head and got it.
"Drive!" He yelled once he was inside the car. Um… She didn’t know how to drive. “Kendall drive the fucking car they are coming!"
"I don't know how to!" Moving his seat back as far as it could go he ordered her to sit in his lap so he could move to the driver’s seat. It was awkward to say the least, her ass was in his face at one point and if this situation weren’t so dangerous he would have found it hilarious. The bikers were out and they were fucking angry. Blake took off yelling at Kendall to buckle up. He was speeding but they were not far behind, having bikes made it easier for them to catch up. He sped and kept changing lanes to confuse them. He counted five all up. They reached Kendall's window and banged on the glass, Kendall let out a scream. Blake pressed on the brake suddenly and the car halted in its place. The bikers kept going for a while before realizing he had stopped.
This gave Blake enough time to get the car ready and take off again, this entire situation was on dangerous ground, the road was winding and he didn't want to kill anybody but their lives were literally in danger and he wouldn't risk it. They turned back and sped toward him, as they came forward, he flew straight at them, by the time they almost collided the bikers flew off their bikes hitting the ground hard as their bikes continued to drive on their own until they crashed form the force of the speed. Blake continued at a fast pace to get as much distance as he could. After an hour he was sure they were safe and he slowed down to the designated speed limit.
CHAPTER 27***"He would love to meet his uncle, he has heard a lot about him and I'm sure he would also like to meet his aunt, if she is willing to get to know him?" Kendall looked at Lilliana, she looked up and Kendall tried to give her a reassuring look. "It's not hard Lilliana, you have two brothers who care deeply about you, what I wouldn't give to have had that." Lilliana had tears run down her face."I will pack my things and leave." She was on her feet now."For heaven’s sake Lilly, enough, If you leave this time you’re not coming back, I swear to you, this is it, you want to leave then go but you will be forbidden to ever step foot here again." Blake was trying to remain calm.Kendall decided to keep out of it, they could deal with it on their own. Wasn't her problemKendall went home with the strangest feeling that night, why would he do that? And he did it in a way where he wanted Kendall and Ryan to witness the whole thing. Kendall assumed it was Blake's way to right what
CHAPTER 26Kendall spent the next week waiting to hear from Blake, nothing. It was like he didn't want to be around her or Ryan, what else could she think? Confusion set in, he seemed so affected by Ryan and suddenly nothing, maybe he thought about it and perhaps came to the conclusion that Ryan might not be his child. Again the rejection and the lack of his trust hit home, Kendall wanted to scream and hurt something. Why come back into her life just to leave her again? Get it together Kendall, you did it without him so long, don't allow him bring you down again, you have come a long way Kendall...Kendall heard her phone ring, picking it up she saw Blake's name come up... Thinking of the devil, she answered and her heart did a little flutter... "Hello?""Kendall, are you free to come round tonight alone?“ Kendall was taken aback by his assertiveness. He meant business, she knew that tone too well."Why?""I need you to come to dinner at my place, trust me Kendall, please just do as I
CHAPTER 25Blake looked at the letter and shook his head, what the hell was that about? Augustus Hasting had planned the entire marriage, he and Michael Lucius plotted this whole scheme. Why did Blake feel like he had been duped? Not by Augustus or Michael but by his own father. Why couldn't Blake see what everybody else seemed to see or to know about Thomas Wyatt? Ryan had always suffered at the hands of his father and all because Blake was too much of a coward to stand up for his brother and above all his mother.Blake always associated his father’s abuse to his mother as punishment for sleeping around but come to think of it, the only time anything about her adultery was mentioned was about Augustus, so why then did his father abuse her long before they even knew of Augustus Hasting? Blake reread the letter and if he thought he was confused before, now he was just unsure of his life. Blake had nothing, he felt empty and completely let down. Just thinking about his mother suffering
CHAPTER 24Blake wanted to leave, he didn't want to be around Kendall anymore, he wasn't paying any attention at all to anybody, his eyes kept scanning the room to see where she was. When Max his lawyer asked him to go into the conference room to finish off paperwork, Blake was certain that Kendall's lawyer asked her to do the same. He told Max he'd be there in five. Blake needed to prepare himself to be near her after all this time. Blake entered the conference after her took a few minutes to prepare himself and entered the room. Kendall and her lawyer were sitting on the end of the long table. Max was also there. "Ah we can begin?" Max the definition of a lawyer. Blake took a seat opposite Kendall, she didn't look up at him at all. "Blake this is your wife's lawyer Mr Ronald Brown.""Nice to meet you, can we get on with this please?" "Of course, let's get started." Talks between the two lawyers took place, a lot of paperwork and a lot of signing. Blake couldn't care less about any
CHAPTER 23ONE YEAR LATER Kendall was busy preparing for her meeting, she was sure that she would be seeing Blake, hopefully he would send Ryan in his place, she was nowhere near ready to see Blake. She cried months for him, she was so distraught by his lack of trust, always his face that last time she saw him would haunt her. He looked completely defeated, like a child who just lost their mother. Kendall's heart ached every time she remembered that look. Not one month after she returned home she sent him divorce papers granting him all of Michael’s shares, so Blake would be majority owner, Kendall decided to sell her share and start her own empire. Divorce papers were never signed by him and she waited every day for them to be delivered declaring her single again. Kendall felt very ill the months after that dreadful day with Blake, her nausea wouldn't relent, she wouldn't be able to keep much food down, Kendall put it down to stress. Cathy was never around, clearly not happy with
CHAPTER 22Kendall was pushed onto the door, she turned her face to the side and he pressed his hand over her cheek pressing her onto the door. "Blake please just let me explain." "You don't get to fucking talk remember? Now it's my turn, do I disgust you princess? Are you fucking me to make me trust you? Ha? So you and your fucking lover can kill me?""I swear to you...""Shut the fuck up princess!" Blake pulled her away from the door and turned her around. "I fucking loved you Kendall, I fucking trusted you, I thought this was real. I fucking sent my family away. You’re good, I’ll admit that, you played me for the fool. You fucking played me hard!"He let go of her and KENDALL turned around quickly, He was sort of crying looking frustrated and so hurt."Blake I'm begging you to hear me out, I'm being framed can't you see that?""Stop talking Kendall, it's enough." Kendall was sobbing, how could this happen, now especially after she was willing to give Blake her heart. He wouldn't s
