HUMAN VITAMIN

***MIRABELLA'S POV***“Mommy, can we go to the Dragon Castle first?” Alfred asked with a bright smile and I bobbed my head.“Of course sweetheart.” I responded and Alfred ran ahead of Easton and me into the castle.We caught up with him moments later and Easton purchased the tickets. It was a fun ride, like a roller coaster only slower.“Where do you want to go next?” Easton asked Alfred after we left the Dragon Castle.“Ohh look! It's a climbing tower!” Alfred beamed and we went over to the climbing tower next.“Do you know how this thing works?” I asked Easton as we settled down on the tied seat, with Alfred seated at the middle.“No idea.” Easton responded, his gaze intent on the ropes as he tried to figure out how to go up.“You have to loosen the reigns first, Mr. Grey.” Alfred stated as he tucked at the middle rope.Easton followed his instruction and then I pulled at the rope closest to me and we went up a bit.“Oh, let me try that.” Easton said as he reached for my side of th

ALL IN

***MIRABELLA'S POV***“Alright, that's the last of it.” I stated as I zipped up the last box. We had packed a lot of things for the trip, our tent, raincoats, lots of snacks, a first aid kid and a lot more.“So grandma and grandpa can't come?” Alfred asked with a sad pout.“Sadly yes. I had no idea there was a number limit to family members but hey, you have me. I'll be with you all through the trip.” I responded with a smile as I tugged at his cheeks playfully.“What about daddy?” Alfred asked while batting his long lashes and I pressed my lips into a thin line.The doorbell went off before I could respond, and I excused myself to get it. The maids had all been sent off on a break. They work hard so we often give them days to rest up.“Easton?” I furrowed my brows on opening the door.“Am I a bit early or...?” Easton dragged his words as he stared at me with uncertainty and it finally dawned on me that we were supposed to go on the trip together. I had forgotten about that for a spli

ONE BIG HAPPY FAMILY

****EASTON'S POV***“Okay so first we'll begin with our scavenger hunt. Each family will be given a map and a list of treasures to find. Once you locate each item, take a photo of it and move on to the next. The family with the most collection by the end of the game wins. We will be awarding five winners but everyone will still get a prize for their participation, however the winners will be offered the grand prize.” Gina explained and everyone listened intently.I glanced at Alfred and noticed the excitement in his eyes. This really meant a lot to him, and I felt the urge to impress him during this trip.“Alright so everyone will get a speaker phone so we can all stay connected. Call out to us if you encounter any difficulty on your way and feel free to return to base if you get exhausted along the line. This is supposed to be a fun game, so while you're at it, make the most of your time with your kids.” Gina added and we all applauded her after her speech.I was able to count about

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED

***MIRABELLA'S POV***My cheekbones were hurting at this point from the constant smiling and laughing. Easton and Alfred were such characters, and no, we didn't win the flag game.Apparently Easton captured the wrong flag, more like he captured our own flag instead of our rivals' and had it taken away from him. It was such a fun sight to watch and I never stopped teasing him about it.Tomorrow would be the last day of the trip and Gina said we would all go hiking. I wasn't a fan of climbing mountains but I won't mind trying something new. My ankles felt a better now as Easton had massaged them both with a heat balm before the game. Now we were all seated around a small campfire with fresh marshmallows to roast. I watched with a smile on my face as Easton showed Alfred how to stick the marshmallows to the edge of the stick and the proper way to roast it. Their bond was truly sublime.“Here mommy, this one's for you.” Alfred said as he passed me the marshmallow he had roasted.“Thank

HIS PRICELESS POSSESSION

***MIRABELLA'S POV*** Remember when I said I wasn't a fan of climbing mountains? Well that's not the only thing I dislike at this point. It was the last day of the trip and we had all gone hiking, everything was going well until a large spider fell on my hair from one of the trees. “Are you still grumpy over one little spider?” Easton asked, and I glared at him. "That wasn't one little spider! It was a really big one!" I snapped and he laughed at me. Somehow it seemed to calm my nerves but I was still upset. “I didn't know you were this afraid of spiders.” He said with a chuckle. “You clearly don't know anything about me at all.” I responded with a frown and his smiles faded away immediately. Did I say something wrong? “I guess you're right, I really don't.” He responded with a long sigh. “Well here's your chance then.” I said with a smile before walking ahead to meet up with Alfred who was with Sandy and her father. We were halfway through the marked-out road, with Gina expl

OFFICIALLY OVER

***MIRABELLA'S POV*** “Earth to Mirabella.” Roman's voice snapped me out of my trance and I glanced up at him with a smile. “What did you say?” I asked him and a small frown appeared on his face. “You've been this way since you got back from the trip last week and yet you won't tell me what happened. Anyway, I was just reminding you of our new client coming in this afternoon, I hope you still remember?” He asked in a somewhat serious tone and I bobbed my head. “Logan West, yeah I remember.” I responded and he nodded. “Now can you tell me what happened? Did everything go well with Easton?” “The trip was really fun and Alfred loved every moment of it.” I replied with a bright smile and Roman raised a brow at me. “Just Alfred?” “Okay fine. You can say that things between Easton and I have changed since after the trip.” I responded and Roman smiled faintly. “So you're giving him a second chance?” He asked but I could sense a small warning in his question. “I mean, you're the one

BROKEN PROMISE

***EASTON'S POV*** Mirabella's words kept repeating at the back of my mind as I watched her retreating figure. I couldn't understand what went wrong. We were doing just fine and I thought I was finally succeeding in winning her over but hearing her say those words, I knew she was back to being cold towards me, but why? “Mr. Grey, your fiancé is still waiting for you in your office.” Emma said and I furrowed my brows. “My fiancé?” I asked with a frown and she nodded slightly. “A lady came by earlier looking for you. She said she was your fiance so—” “So you let her into my office?!” I snapped and Emma flinched. “I'm sorry sir, I really thought she was your fiance —” "So you're saying that anyone that comes by claiming to be a family member, you'll just let them into my office?!" “I'm sorry sir, it won't happen again.” Emma said with her head bowed low and I shut my eyes, trying to calm my nerves. “It better not happen again.” I said in a warning tone before walking away and hea

PLAYING WITH FIRE

***MIRABELLA'S POV*** “Let me take that.” Roman said as he collected the bags from me. “Thank you.” I responded with a slight smile as we walked into his apartment. “Mommy, why did we suddenly move?” Alfred asked with a curious gaze. “Mommy needs to take care of a few things so it's best if we stay where it's more convenient.” I responded but the look of Alfred's face told me he didn't buy my excuse. Of course he wouldn't, he was a smart kid. “But what of Grandma and Grandpa? Why can't I stay with them?” He asked with a slight frown. "Roman will take you to see your grandparents whenever you want, Alfred." I responded with a smile and he nodded a response. “I'll put your things in the guest room.” Roman said with a slight smile and I nodded before settling down on the couch. I let out a long sigh as I ran my hand through my hair. I wasn't running away, I just needed space. “All settled in.” Roman said as he came out of the room and sat on the opposite couch next to me. “Th

WINNING THE CASE

***MIRABELLA'S POV***“All packed up?” Roman asked as he walked into the living room and I bobbed my head, smiling slightly.“How long did you say you'll be gone for?” “Just a day. I'll be back after inspecting the property. We should get there in about 8-9 hours so I'll have time to inspect everything.” I responded and Roman bobbed his head.“Do you need me to come with? I will cancel my program for today and go with you if you just say the word.”“I can take care of myself, Roman. You don't need to worry about me.” I responded with a reassuring smile and Roman let out a sigh.“Alright then, I'll drop you off at the airport before heading to the office.”I didn't refuse his offer as I knew it was the only way to put his mind at ease. I was going to Malibu, California to inspect the property Logan had mentioned during our meeting. I needed to gather as much information as I could to build up a strong case in court.The court hearing was a few days away and this was the last step for

THE CALL

***MIRABELLA'S POV*** I quickly pulled away from his hold and created a distance between us. “Mr. Grey, what are you doing here?” I asked, staring at him intently. “You haven't been picking my calls, and you haven't been home for a while. I was worried —” “So you tracked me down to my court hearing?” I asked, cutting him off. “Mirabella, please can we talk?” Easton asked, his gaze pleading for me to hear him out. I was tempted to give in but quickly snapped out of it. I turned to Logan who was still standing behind me as he observed Easton keenly. “Where did you say we were having lunch?” I asked and he turned to me with a smile. “Anywhere you like. I know a fine restaurant downtown but if you have somewhere else you want to go—” “Let's go then.” I said with a smile and Logan bobbed his head while stretching out his hand to me. I was about to take his hand when I felt another hand pull me back slightly. “Mirabella, if you're doing this to make me jealous —” “Make you jealo
