The Proposal (Book 3 of The Arrangement series)ย ย ย Chapter 20- Long Time Coming
Amberleigh was suddenly struck with the urge to call and check in on her boys. So as soon as she had kicked, pulled, dragged, cursed, and carried one billion worth of cold, hard cash into the back hallway of the penthouse, she texted Cori back at the Quick Shop. She bit down a thumbnail waiting for the reply to come. She had loaded the money onto the luggage cart, shaming herself for being so fucking out of shape, by the time she received the return message. Mr. Godwin is still sleeping soundly. Leo appears comfortable, all his vitals looking good. Latest blood count level is up to 8.7, trending up nicely J Amber sent a text back to thank Cori and she felt lighter in her chest after hearing the good news. She decided to complete her second mission of the night and then thought up a third as well. Grayson wasnโt the only one in need of fresh clothing after all. She would creep into Leoโs room and gather up some of her and Leoโs things. Because Leo would need clean cloth

It had felt damn good standing up to Jackson and removing the power Amberleigh had allowed him to still have over her life even after all these years. She felt like she had just liberated herself, no longer a slave to the past or those unresolved feeling she had towards the father of her firstborn. Too long she had waited for an apology and some validation from that piece of shit that what he had done to her and their child was wrong. But it turned out sheโd been wrong all along believing that she ever needed it from him in the first place.It had been Jacksonโs loss, both losing her and a son he would never get the privilege to meet or watch grow up. If anyone was sorry it was her. She pitied Jackson for the sad, unloving and unfulfilling life he was living. Heโd lost the best things that had ever happened to him. His priorities so fucked up. She felt bad for Jack for the rich life he couldโve had if heโd only manned up and accepted the responsibility of the life theyโd created. Chi

Amberโs fury only increased over that lying bastardโs deceit. Grayson knew her son. It made sense, the pieces falling into place. Amber hadnโt been given all the information on her sonโs adoptive parents, just their first names before she got to meet them that one time before the birth. During that interview, when she had been deciding who to choose to be her sonโs parents, they avoided any specific information which could possibly help her find them in the future. It was meant to be a closed adoption as Amber had wanted. But Elise had mentioned they owned a publicity firm. It was likely that this firm was the one who handled the public relations for The Godwin Railroad.Grayson had no doubt met her son and his parents through that working relationship, obviously attending company events. The picture of her son on Santaโs lap was taken at a corporate event for the railroad. Maybe the families were more than just business acquaintances and actual friends. How else would Grayson know th

Her father escorted her down to the basement to make sure Amberleigh made it there safely. She felt tired and wired at the same time and those steps were wicked steep. Giovanni made sure she was settled in a chair and hydrated before he kissed his daughterโs cheeks goodbye. He promised to check in on her and her men tomorrow. Tonight, his presence was needed back at The Rabbit Hole. Perhaps to help dispose of the bodies of the kidnappers or something, after he gave The Mad Hatter the ransom money as promised.Cori gave her an update on the boys since theyโd last communicated. Grayson had continued to sleep like the dead, while sheโd given Leo some more pain medicine as he had started to grow a bit restless again just before her arrival. He was now back to being chill again with his heart rate and blood pressure looking better than Amberโs no doubt.Amber allowed herself to sink back into the chair and begged Cori for another coffee. What Grayson didnโt know, wouldnโt kill him. Beside

As Amberleigh tried to soothe Grayson in the midst of his night terror, he opened his eyes as his body knocked into hers. But she could tell that it was like the billionaire was home but not all the lights were on. He was too trapped in the grip of the nightmare, his body too exhausted to gain lucid understanding, even as she spoke his name and held him. His fight seemed to die down a bit, but he was still thrashing around and yelling out on the cot. And Amber couldnโt pull him from his nightmare, couldnโt bring him back from that edge of darkness. But luckily Doc had a backup plan to help calm Grayson. It wasnโt easy to get that syringe pushed into the IV he still had left over from getting his fluids, but between Doc and Amber holding his arm still to the best of her ability, they managed it. Amber trusted the Doc and didnโt even have to ask him what medicine heโd just given her childโs father. But it did the trick and within five minutes, the fight ebbed out of the

Amberleigh stood corrected on that being the coldest thing the cold-blooded heiress could have said regarding the murder of her new husband. As Amber stared at the screen trying to recover herself and figure out the best way to respond, a new text from the cunt chimed through. And this one made her gasp by its brutality, I thought you all were going to cut off his head.She had to give that statement some time to sink in. The implications of it, the way Courtney wanted Grayson to die. It would imply a certain level of hate and suffering to cut off someoneโs head. And Amber got the feeling these men werenโt exactly professionals and it would not have been a quick and clean cut to behead the billionaire. It seemed Courtney made this personal and wanted it to be a terrifying and painful experience for Grayson to die. Amber had to bring her alter ego Ivy to the surface to get through this. Ivy was her Cobra Club persona who could handle her shit without letting emotions ge

Amberleigh decided to give Grayson some time to process though his face betrayed none of his feelings. It seemed the billionaire had turned to stone again. At least Amber would have believed that if not for the hard bob of his Adamโs Apple and his hand still clasped onto Leoโs. Cori had showed seemingly more emotion than Grayson by sucking in a deep breath and covering her mouth with her hand. Doc was also a more hardened soul when it came to facing bad news. After a couple minutes of silence had passed, Amber decided she needed to say something. She made a lame attempt at comforting Grayson by patting his forearm. But what could she really say? Iโm sorry your bitch wife hated your guts and wanted you to die a slow and painful death so she could steal your fortune? โIโm sorry. I can imagine this must be hard for you Grayson. I know you loved her once. But itโs all about the money to those people.โ โHow did you pull this off? That picture looks real.โ

Amberleigh should have known that even after getting shot and nearly bleeding to death, Leoโs first concern would be for others. As tears slipped down her cheeks, Leoโs hand tightened even more around hers. And his first words were to try and sooth her distress. โDonโtโฆcry Love,โ he rasped out. His voice was barely above a hoarse whisper, but Amber heard its message loud and clear. She only cried harder, but now her tears fell down over her smile. โItโs happy tears Leo. Iโm so glad you came back to us. I love you so much Leo.โ โIโฆ love you tooโฆโAmber brought his hand, still entwined in hers, up to her lips and kissed it. Leoโs fingers opened up to wipe away her tears. And naturally it only touched her heart even more. It certainly didnโt help stop her waterworks or snot. โYou scared the hell out of us man. Donโt ever fucking do anything like that again!โ said Grayson. His tone started out

Amberleigh's private chef had indeed made a spread worthy of a queen. Chocolate covered strawberries, a tantalizing fruit and cheese board, cucumber sandwiches, stuffed mushrooms, lamb kabobs, and that was just his starters. Dinner he kept a well guarded secret. Amber just hoped now he would be setting the table for three and Grayson would stay with them. He deserved to spend the holiday with those who loved him. As Amber and Grayson dug in, Leo pulled a box from beneath the counter and handed it to her. He gave her a kiss on the cheek. โHappy Birthday, Love.โ โBut I thought I already got my present babe,โ she smiled. โOpen it then. Iโm sure youโll like this one better.โ Amber opened the black box to find a golden necklace inside. Dangling upon it was a pendent etched with an engraved image of the babyโs face from the last ultrasound. Well the last one Leo had been present for. Tears clouded her eyes. โOh Leo, I love it!โ Amber wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him clo
The Proposal (Book 3 of The Arrangement series)ย ย ย Chapter 86- Better Than Fantasy
It was a good thing Leoโs shower was so roomy, it easily fit three. Amberleigh had imagined this moment so many fucking times in her head. And she intended to make this reality so much fucking better than the fantasy which had long lived only in her imagination.She turned on the water, nearly scalding, and watched the steam fog up the glass. She ran a hand across the steamed up mirror. Her loyal servants, waited behind her, already hard, just awaiting their queenโs command.She grabbed two natural sponges from the basket on the counter and turned to them. Leo was on her left and Grayson on her right, close but their naked bodies not touching one another. While it would be hot and check another box of hers off altogether, she would not ask either of them to kiss or touch each other. She loved and respected them both enough to know Grayson wouldnโt like being with Leo in that way. If it happened naturally, then so be it. But there was nothing sexy or romantic about being forced.โWash
The Proposal (Book 3 of The Arrangement series)ย ย ย Chapter 85- Not Just A Dream
Amberleigh gave Grayson a moment to think over her proposal. To make his decision. The billionaire loosened his tie like it was choking him. Beside her Leo rolled onto his side and began to run a finger up and down Amberโs bare back. He was clearly ready to go another round. And so was she. But the question remained, would Grayson be joining them?โI donโt like Leo in that way. Iโm straight,โ he spoke finally.Amber smiled, โItโs not your job to pleasure him or each other. Unless of course you boys want too. But itโs both of your jobs to pleasure me. You donโt have to do anything youโre uncomfortable with.โLeo began to kiss her neck, โIโll keep my hands to myself G-Man. Except of course when it comes to her.โHe ran his tongue up the side of her neck. Amber shivered and awaited the billionaireโs decision. She wasnโt going to pressure him into anything he wasnโt ready for. Grayson took a deep breath.She bit her lip, โOr you can just watch if you would like. Feel free to join in if yo
The Proposal (Book 3 of The Arrangement series)ย ย ย Chapter 84- An Open Invitation
Amberleigh vowed Grayson to silence over the sex of their child. She wanted to figure out a cute way to reveal to Leo it was a munchkinette she was carrying. But she wasnโt about to go out and have one of those big gender reveal parties. Those things often ended in fails. While entertaining to fucking watch on viral videos, Amber didnโt intend to try some big display to reveal her child didnโt have a penis.Since Amber wasnโt quite ready to reveal it to her father yet either, it gave her and Grayson no real chance to talk about it. Giovanni had appeared in the basement soon after the ultrasound had ended. She would have to catch Grayson in the panic room at some point to discuss his feelings over having a daughter.Amber was still trying to take it in. She wanted baby girl to only get the best parts of herself and Grayson. And she sure as fuck didnโt want her daughter treated like a pretty, dress up doll. Her baby would be afforded all the same opportunities a boy born to Grayson God

Giovanni opened the rear door instead.โLadies first,โ said Grayson.They loaded into the vehicle and made the trek to the wrong side of the tracks. On the ride, Giovanni and Amber chatted about the baby and her intentions to graduate high school. Her father told her he was proud of her and again suggested Giovanni as a great name for his grandchild. He also got the usually introverted billionaire to join in the conversation and get Amber riled up over suggesting naming their child Adam Milton or Agatha Louise. No fucking way was that going to happen to her baby.Doc personally let them in the backdoor. After pleasant greetings, Amber couldnโt help but tease a bit.โI thought you had people for this doc.โHe smiled, โMy usual doorman now has a girlfriend. One of which he wonโt be seeing outside of school hours for a while if heโs not home in the next twenty minutes.โDonny was a good kid. He would likely be home by curfew. Amber wouldnโt mind getting the chance to say hello to him ton

Giovanni Costa, AKA Amberleigh's father, didnโt let her down. His reply was swift, Iโm on my way figila. I can be there in twenty minutes. Now all that was left to do was to try and control the bleeding in Graysonโs arm and wait.Thankfully, his selfish and useless wife had retreated to her room still crying about her bloody clothes. No doubt sheโd seek out poor Helga and have the woman try and scrub the stains out. Just when Amber had assumed she couldnโt hate Courtney Van Cunt more, the evil woman had outdone herself. She really was the ice queen with no heart nestled beneath her fake tits.Amber only left Graysonโs side long enough to wash her hands and then collect a few things. While she completed that task, she tried not to dwell on a troubling thought. The bathroom floor had been dry indicating Grayson hadnโt made it into the shower yet. He hadnโt slipped on water on the floor. The rug was an anti-slip rug, so it was possible he had actually displaced it while he was falling an

Amberleigh decided to eat her feelings so she dug that half gallon of moose tracks ice cream from the freezer and grabbed a spoon. She planted herself at the island counter and debated checking in with Leo. She hadnโt heard from him in a while but didnโt want to come off as one of those suffocating fiancรฉe. But Leo probably would have communicated by now if blood had been shed or he needed bailed out of jail.Before she knew it, Amber had eaten half the fucking container of ice cream as she thought about the life choices which had brought her here. She also mulled over the future and co-parenting with a man who had a lot of anger and unspoken resentment towards her.She understood where Grayson was coming from. He was hurt and angry over a ton of shit heโd just let bottle up rather than ever deal with. The murder of his brother, which he hadnโt really ever got over Adamโs death to began with. His disease, like staring down the barrel of a gun he couldnโt escape from. And seeing Amber

Life was good despite all the darkness they were facing. Amberleigh was trying to bask in the good moments, even when they seemed few and far between. She used them to carry her through the dark ones. And there were dark times a plenty as Grayson struggled with his anger and depression. As they were all forced to coexist with a murderous cunt. As Amberโs hormones were fucked and she found herself extra sensitive. Even sappy commercials often made her cry.She had much to be thankful for though. Like her pregnancy progressing well, reaching her fifteenth week with no complications, and finally not having to pee every fucking five minutes! And most of all Leo. That man was a fucking godsend. Leo would kiss her belly every night and sing to the baby. Amber was glad that it was unlikely the baby could hear yet, but she didnโt tell Leo that. She found his new nightly ritual sweet.But Amber shouldnโt have expected anything less from him. Leo put his whole heart into the things he cared abo

Amberleigh and Leo came up with a plan to keep Graysonโs ass out of the bars in the bad part of town and home every night by sundown. They simply started showing up at Godwin HQ every work day around five p.m. Theyโd hang in Graysonโs office until he decided to leave and personally escort him back to the penthouse. Amber usually annoyed the fuck out of the billionaire to the point they were in the car by seven at the latest.Leo often took the opportunity to read a book or look up new recipes to try at home. While Amber napped on the couch in G-Manโs posh office, or watched videos on the net, or raided the employee break room for snacks. It was usually her laughing at funny videos or chewing loudly which got Grayson to throw the towel in for the day and head home. He sure as fuck wasnโt happy about it.He even tried to get the pair of them banned from the building. That laughable attempt got Leo to call up Viola. She came on down to the office and scolded her son in person. She sided
