Semua Bab Kaden: Bab 41 - Bab 50

I was still pissed when I pulled up to the construction site. I was surprised to see my grandmother and my aunt there. While I hate that my mother's family and we are not close, there is also a damn good reason for that. It is mainly their fault. I was not surprised when my grandmother tried to oppose my and Everly’s engagement. When she started spewing all that shit about Everly, that is when she crossed the line. They will never know where we live; if they find out, they are not allowed into our house. Dad was getting seriously pissed, and I am sure he will be meeting with a couple of his law enforcement buddies after his golf match. I was concerned that they might try and follow mom and Everly where ever they were going, but mom assured me that she would not let them talk to Everly that way. Mom was on the verge of beating my aunts ass. Mom may look all prim and proper, but don’t let that fool you. Mom can beat some ass. She grew up in an upper-middle-class family, but s

I let out a sigh for probably the hundredth time this morning. I had to come into the office today, and Kaden was not happy about it. I didn’t want to come in today, but Cole called me last night and told me that the partners we were meeting with wanted an in-person meeting with all three of us. Not sure if that is a good idea. Kylynn hasn’t been in a good mood these last two weeks. She and Brent are still having issues. Somehow she has managed to get out of going to his parent's house for dinner the two times she has been invited. I did laugh at them the other day. No matter how much distance she tries to put between them, Brent won’t let it happen. He still puts his arm around her, and flirts none stop. I stand up, grab my coffee and walk towards the door. I smile when I see Vienna walking in with her arms full of coffee. “Trying to keep the peace I see.” I comment. “Damn right. They hate having meetings this early in the morning, and we both know that two of these gu

I let the guys know I was leaving for my meeting with Sean.  Everly and the others should be arriving at Marysa’s office to speak with her about their dress designs.  I knew Marysa had her work cut out for her designing for Tianya and Kylynn, but I also knew she was up for the challenge.  I checked my phone when I heard it go off, letting me know I got a text.(You asshole!  Thanks for referring your fiance to me so I can help design her dress for the gala.  I appreciate the referral of her friends as well.  You, sir, are a grade-A dick.  You could have told me who her friends were.  I am pretty sure I made a total ass of myself in front of them.-Marysa)(Thank you for helping my fiance out.  I feel as if you’re being slightly dramatic.  I do apologize for not telling you who she was fri

I don’t know who this person is, but he or she is pissing me off. Thankfully it is Friday, and I can be home for the next two days. I talked with Doug the day after our meeting and asked about a guard for Everly. He thought that was a good idea. He told me that he had the perfect guy and would call me back after talking with him. I am guessing that if this is one of his friends or a guy who works for him, he knows Everly and will agree without hesitation. The guy that Doug sent started yesterday. His name is Giovanni, or Gio for short. He and Everly seem to get along ok so far. I was concerned, considering he is only 25, but Doug told me that there is no one he trusts more than Gio. Doug explained that Gio was a genius skipping several grades. He came to my office two days ago, and I made sure that all four of us, plus dad, were present when I talked with him. If he was put off or surprised that there were so many presents when he showed up, he didn’t show it. I was more t

I lean back in my chair as aI swirl the whiskey around in the glass that I am holding. I have no idea how everything that I had meticulously planned suddenly went to hell. This had started so many years ago with my great-grandmother. She was determined to pull our family name out of the trash. My great-grandfather and his brother had lost everything in a bad business deal. Great-grandmother was pissed, and she let him know it. It was no family secret that great-grandfather slept around. Great-grandmother had turned a blind eye to it since he had built such a successful business, and she had her children that would inherit all of it. That was until he and his brother tried to partner with another booming business. From what I was told, everything was going well with the partnership until the other business started looking into the accounting, and then it went to shit. I guess my great-grandfather and his brother had been spending more than they were making, and they were wastin
