42 - Round Them Up
~Derek's Point of View~
We flew the short hop to New York City to get my family, but we weren’t getting off the plane ...we were getting right back in the sky. Everyone got settled, believing that we were flying to D.C. for the engagement party.
We were in the air for about 15 minutes and I stood up, asking for everyone’s attention. I had the flight attendants bring out champagne and sparkling juice for the kids.
“I have a confession to make, as you all know Eve and I are getting married … but what you may not know is, we are getting married this weekend!”
Everyone gasped.
“We aren’t flying to D.C., we’re flying to VEGAS!”
Ruby perked up, “CAN WE SEE MAGICIANS?!”
I already knew she would ask and I had bought out a magic show for Sunday afternoon.
“Yes we can my little angel, we are doing that on Sunda

In The Dark 43- Peek-A-Boo
The next 24 hours hours were a blur, between getting everyone what they needed and having everyone (okay so only my side) freaking out and gawking at every little thing, it was exhausting.Early on Friday evening, Marcus took me to his room and showed me the dress. It was unlike anything I’d ever seen and I could tell he basically wished he was the bride.I didn't know Marcus when he and Rob had gotten married but I made a mental note to ask for pictures. I was dying to see what a Marcus wedding looked like.I really had no clue what kind of dress I would have picked out on my own so I was happy to let him do it. Marcus went on and on, it was Vera Wong or something, I had no clue.It was stunning but kind of fun and sexy. The back was very low but I was wearing my hair down, as that was Derek’s favorite thing.I could already tell Derek was going to lose it when he saw the thirty or so buttons that started at the
In The Dark 44 - Hope You Had Fun
~Derek’s Point of View~I could have cared less about a bachelor party, but everyone was all about it. I had been to my share of strip clubs, and it wasn’t anything great. It was a great way for Heath and I to blow off some steam, go out and have fun sometimes. But I wasn't a single guy anymore.It really didn’t matter to me now that I had the hottest girl randomly coming to bed in little outfits. Eve always surprised me and I fucking loved it, cheerleader costume, nurse, school girl, it was all so hot.I had never done role playing but she just took it to another level and I was addicted. Any fantasy I had or could imagine, I would save for my girl.Heath was the mastermind behind the night out, we started at a normal club, everyone starting to let loose, then we hit the strip club.It was going to be real weird to have Haven watching a naked woman dance on me, and I decided I wasn
In The Dark 45 - Send Him Back
~Eve’s Point of View~I woke up confused, for a moment I totally forgot where I was. I realized I was naked and my whole body ached. I felt incredibly thirsty but saw a water on the table, so I grabbed it quickly and drank it down.Derek was passed out next to me, equally naked and I wondered if we’d had sex when I got back?How did I get back? I didn’t even remember it.The last thing I remembered was peek-a-boo with Axel.I smirked to myself thinking about his perfect ass. I rolled over and spooned Derek since his back was to me, and I felt him stir.“How are you feeling my little drunkard,” he said.“Hungry,” I said, with a sigh.I was so glad the wedding wasn’t until later tonight, I seriously needed the day to recover.Derek turned to face me and said, “do you even remember last night?&rdquo
In The Dark 46 - She's Your Problem
~Derek’s Point of View~This was it, my last few moments of the single life, which I was more than happy to leave behind. I couldn’t wait to see my bride, I couldn’t wait to rip her dress off tonight.I already knew she bought some naughty lingerie because I saw it when going through her suitcase for a hair tie last night. My biggest hope was that we always stayed hot for each other, that physical connection meant everything to me, I craved this woman.I’d never even remotely been close to someone like I was to Eve, I could tell her anything, share everything with her and it just fit.I was standing at the altar, looking out at our family and friends, feeling like the luckiest asshole on the planet.The music started and I held my breath, ready to see her, to have those green eyes staring back at me. The bridesmaids all came down and Heath was cutt
In The Dark 47 - Sign Here
Eve and I had woken up twice in the night and fucked each other back to sleep. She was perfect for me in every way and I had never felt more content. We were lost in a tangled mess of each other, deep in sleep when my phone rang, it was a specific ringtone for my grandfather.I quickly tried to get out of bed and find my pants, just getting to it on the last possible ring.“Hey, everything okay,” I said, wondering why he’d be bothering me right now.“Yes, yes, all is well. There is some business though we need to address, the sooner the better, I’ll see you kids for brunch at 11,” and he hung up.I groaned.He didn’t bother me with trivial things, but this was the morning after my wedding.What was so important?I looked at the time, 10:40am, really dude?I also noticed that he didn’t invite us or ask, he said we would be there, mean
In The Dark 48 - Overwhelmed
“Baby what’s wrong,” I said, holding her face.“This is just … a lot. It’s a lot. I am just … I have so many questions. I don’t like signing things I haven’t read. I know I sound like an idiot and I should just do it, but I...”“Do you want me to ask to read it, Rob drafted it with them, knowing my wishes,” I said.She looked lost and confused.I held her, and stroked her hair.“Your grandfather will know it was me now though, and I’m stupid, I’m just being stupid,” she said.“I know this is a lot, more than you could have ever imagined, but this is our life now. You have to be okay with it though, I need you to be okay with it all.”“I don’t like putting my fate completely in someone else’s hands, I’ve always known to the dollar what was
In The Dark 49 - What The Hell Are You Up To?
Eve and I stayed in Vegas only until Tuesday morning, with me promising her a proper honeymoon at some point.The lawyers were working around the clock to finalize things, and I was buying out the Maxwell shares that grandfather and his business partners owned. It was a lot, but I used all my own money, not utilizing the trust for it and that meant everything to me.With a few last minute additional shares, my total ownership of Maxwell Enterprises was now at 67%. My spies told me that Phil’s shares were now less than 3%, with Chris owning 10% ... likely inherited since I doubt he would’ve bought it himself.The rest was stockholders, board members and some employees. Rob was meeting on the down low with an investigative reporter for the New York Times, feeding them information on Phil and Helen’s tax evasion but they were not going public with it just yet.We set up “T-day” as we called, “
In The Dark 50 - Homeless
I told Heath to keep a close eye on Chris, I needed to be sure I could trust him. It seemed like it, but I had many years of distrust with him.He was unbelievably shocked that I somehow found Eve and I did agree it was a weird coincidence, but I didn’t care. She was mine now and it was his loss … and he had to live with that.I wouldn’t have let anything ... not a promotion or my mom’s opinion come between what we shared.I got home and told Eve what happened with Chris and her face ran through every possible emotion. She was angry, sad, happy and then murderous about Helen.She was glad to know that she hadn’t done anything wrong, but sad to know he didn’t have the balls to stand up for her the way she deserved.She then felt bad for Chris, saying he was a victim as well but I wasn’t going to give him that much credit.It was time for Sunday dinner with mom, and
