EPILOGUE
"It's official your daughter's favorite person is her grandpa." I said to Lucas joining him in our bedroom holding our 2 year old Alexis.
"I had to pry her off his arms before she would come with me." I add.
"My dad has always been good with kids." Lucas says collecting Alexis from me.
"Yeah he's amazing, he's so good Jamie Louis and Alexis." I say smiling.
Jamie Louis is Alexis' cousin, Kathy's son.
"You should go put her to sleep, I'm going to take a shower." I say as I enter the bathroom.

The Arrangement EPILOGUE II
I'm outside on the balcony, on the phone with my mother for the second time today, which is a record for us I try as much as possible to avoid phone calls with her. She's complaining about my father yet another time, he's cheating again. Not sure he ever even stopped but that's something I can't say to her. I look over the huge glass windows staring at Lucas, my perfect husband. He's is sitting on the little sitting area in our bedroom, working on his laptop while watching CNN. I don't want to be on the phone with my mother I want to be inside with him cuddled up or something, he just got back from Europe last night and we've barely been alone with the kids and everything. "Vanessa are you even listening to me?" My mother asks sensing my concentration is somewhere else. "Ofcourse mom I'm listening but I don't know what to do help." I say with a sigh. "You could talk to your father about this who

I had already kissed them goodbye I'm going to meet up with my dad in his office. I really really wished I had a more sane family but that's not possible, both my parents are totally insane. When I called my dad and told him I wanted to talk to him he asked to take me lunch but I decided against that and suggested his office Incase he loses his cool when I tell him what I want to talk to him about because that's probably a possibility. The driver drops me off at my dad's office, I take a deep breath before heading upstairs to first see my brother's who both are lawyers like my dad and are working with him. "Clara is Justin in?" I ask my brother's secretary before heading for his office. "Yes he's in." She replies with a smile and I nod before

I curse to myself after changing my 6th outfit trying to find something to wear to my interview with Lucas. I finally bring out a knee length black skirt pairing it a coral peplum shirt. It looked professional but also hot, the skirt fits perfectly and the top too, it also shows a little cleavage but not too much. I opted for a lot of makeup today, just a simple nude face with mascara and a little eyeliner and no lipstick. Left my hair up in a high ponytail.Satisfied with my look, I wore my favorite pair of manolo heels. I checked the time and it was already 5. I went downstairs to find the car Lucas had sent was already waiting for me."Good evening Miss," the driver said opening the car door for me."Good evening, thank you." I said as I closed the door. We were 3 minutes into the drive when I realized I didn't know were the interview was taken place. He just said I'll send

It's only just sex I have told myself a million times.Today is finally Friday and I'm meeting him in 2 hours. I have taken a shower already, I'm currently deciding on what to wear. I want to call Ari or Kathy and ask for an opinion on what to wear but I don't know how to explain why I'm dressing up to meet Kathy's brother.I finally decided on a short elegant dress, not too short or too sexy. It's gorgeous and sexy but at thesame time it doesn't say I'm trying too much.By the time I finished getting ready, Lucas had already sent a car waiting for me downstairs.The drive to his penthouse was short. When we arrived someone took me to his office and told me to wait for him, ap
