I am not sure what to make of this meeting. I know Arthur; he and I have been friends since college. He has known Kaden since he was born. When Kaden told me who Everly’s grandparents were, I was shocked. I knew her father came from money, but I had no idea he was an Atherton. Well, his mother was; her family is one of the oldest in the Savannah area. I just assumed that Everly had her father's last name, but Kaden said that she, in fact, does not. This means at some point, she changed her last name. I laughed when Kaden told me that Tianya and Kylynn ripped those boys a new asshole when they told them what had happened while they were in North Carolina. Those two are a handful, and I hope Alek and Brent can handle them. Kaden tried to explain to me what Arthur had told them, but it didn’t make any sense, so I called Arthur up, and he explained what he had told the boys. Again I was surprised. I know Aaron very well. He was one of our good friends in high school. I also k

It felt like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders after I told Kaden about my stepmother threatening me. I never told anyone about that, not even Tianya and Kylynn. Mainly because they would have lost their shit and probably gone there and ripped her a new or beat the hell out of her, or both. They never liked her, and if they had known about what she had said back then, all hell would have broken loose. I am sure they will lose their shit when they find out, and I know they will. The guys might be meeting in secret, but they will end up telling what they have found out. I knew Kaden had met with the others yesterday to tell them everything I had told him the night before. I am not sure if they have talked with the others yet. I knew that the others had always suspected that my stepmother had said something to me that kept e from reaching out to my family, but they never knew what exactly happened that day. I had voiced my thoughts about my stepmother kicking me out,

We were all chomping at the bit to find out what Zach had found on that damn laptop. I had every intention of taking over to them the next day, but another winter storm rolled in that night, and I wasn’t able to get out of the apartment. In fact, we couldn’t even get into the office until Tuesday, two days ago. Sean had to come to pick it up since I wasn’t ab;e to drop it off at their office. He said he would call one of us when they had dug through the laptop. It is now Friday, and he just called to let me know that they went through the laptop, and from what he said, they found a ton of shit. I told him that I needed to talk to the others to see when we would be able to get together so they could show what they found. I hung up with Sean and stood up. I headed towards Brent’s office. I knew Alek was in some meeting, and Lance was walking down with Nick. They were finalizing the business trip with the girls. Ben and Cole had finally worked out a schedule. They would be lea

It’s been two days since we met at Zach, Doug, and Sean’s company. I was impressed with the whole setup. The building was massive, and all the technology there was extraordinary. They gave us a tour after our meeting, and from the looks, on Alek, Brent, and Lance’s faces, I could tell they were impressed as well. We even talked with them about using them for security in our businesses. I told them what happened the first time the girls came over. They had a good laugh at that and said they weren’t surprised that they could walk straight through without being stopped by security. Zach told us that it happens all the time. Not that I am surprised. The four of us did meet the next day in Alek’s office, along with Ben and Nick. We had brought Nick into the loop a week or so ago. They were shocked, as we were when we told them everything that we had found out. The six of us gathered again in Lance’s office today for a conference call with one of our partners in Greece. We had j

I pinch the bridge of my nose and let out a sigh. We have been in this meeting for hours, and it is going nowhere. A few of our partners in New York flew down two days ago. They called us about a week ago and said that there was something important that they needed to talk to us about. Alek had Ben check our schedules and let them know that we had time later this week to talk with them. I look over and see that Brent is just as irritated as we are. He has not been in a good mood all week. He and Kylynn are having major issues. I am not sure what is going on. Plus, we all received a letter yesterday that let us know that the gala that was supposed to happen a couple of months ago will be happening in two weeks. “We are not moving to the New York office,” Lane tells them. “We really need you four up there. There are a lot of issues, and we have been losing staff left and right. That small chain of clubs you bought is causing a lot of issues. The books are in disarray, and
