MasukI love all of your messages so thank you. I'm working hard to get another chapter out within a few hours. I know you are all hating the cliffhangers but this is the storyline. By them getting kidnapped this could help Alexei break through Keira's barriers. With an uncle like Peter Keira would have major trust issues.
Inside, Blair sat on the sofa, her hand resting on her slight belly, while Roman stood nearby deep in conversation with Luca. Two-year-old Olivia was showing off her drawings to anyone who would look."Aunt Keira!" Olivia shouted, abandoning her colouring-in to run across the room. Keira bent down,
Olivia, growing restless, wiggled off Blair’s lap. “Can I go play with my blocks?”“Yes, but stay in the playroom,” Roman told her. “I’ll be there in a minute.”As Olivia skipped off, Roman pulled Blair to her feet and into his arms. “You look tired. You should have let me bring someone in to handle
“Mama! Look!”Blair looked up from her laptop to see her two-year-old daughter, Olivia, proudly showing off a crayon drawing that was mostly colorful scribbles.“That’s beautiful, sweetheart,” Blair said, genuinely impressed with the artwork of her toddler. “Is that our family?”Olivia nodded madly,

“No.”“Sutton—”“I said no, Luca. I don’t need a car service. I don’t need you arranging my life for me.”“This isn’t about arranging your life. It’s about taking care of you and our child.”“I’ve been taking care of myself just fine without you, remember?” she said, the words sharper than she’d int
