All Chapters of Aaliyah’s Return : Chapter 181 - Chapter 188

I am up late and I rush through the schools prep with Noah. After we drop him off barely getting there before 8:00 am Gabe drives is back home driving into the drive. I step out of the car and walk into the house with Gabe. The place feels so quiet without Noah’s chatter echoing around . We step into the dining room and find Amanda sipping coffee while scrolling through her laptop.She lifts her head up as we approach, her cheeks turning red when she catches sight of Gabe behind me.“Hey, Boss. Good morning,” she says with a smile.I give her a hug “Hello, Amanda.” “Hey, Gabe…” she whispers, and the two of them just stare at each other for a few moments until I break the silence.“Hey, Amanda,” Gabe adds softly, settling on her left side.“Do we have any new clients?” I ask as I slide into the chair on her right, leaning to peek at her screen.“Yes,” she says, using her fingers to point. “These two are in Wyoming. They want to purchase some items off the website.”“Excellent. Go ahea

On the pitch, Amanda holds her club and takes the first swing, clearly missing the ball. “Strike 1.” Gabe smirks. “Gabe!” Amanda pouts, and he drops his club and pulls her into his arms, kissing her all over until she starts laughing again. I just shake my head and get in position. Desmond leans into me, adjusting my legs, and whispers, “I know you can do much better than that, my princess.” I smirk and take a perfect shot ball falling into the hole. I raise my brow at Desmond. “Do you see how it’s done?” He chuckles. I line up to take another shot when I hear the sound of another golf cart pulling up across the lawn. It’s very loud and fast, deliberately disturbing our peace.I use my hand to shade my eyes, trying to get a look at its occupants. “Desmond, do you know that rude couple? Why are they making so much noise?” The cart parks soon enough, and to my utter despair Geena steps out, all decked out in full white golf attire, and wearing dark shades. As if that wasn’t bad

In the evening after dinner I escort Noah to bed with Amanda. We sit with him until he sleeps off then I give him a kiss on his head as Amanda whispers,“They look so peaceful when they are sleeping,” and I laugh.“I concur…”We tiptoe out of his room and enter Amanda’s to have some little girl talk. As I settle in on the bed, I sight a new huge teddy bear dominating a corner.“Awww, this is so cute.” I get up and walk towards it, touching its paws.She laughs, settling it on the bed. “Gabe got it for me. In his words, to keep guard while I sleep.”I chuckle. “Sappy much?”She blushes. “I know, but I love it. I love him,” she whispers as she stares longingly at the teddy bear.I reach over and squeeze her hands, bringing her back to the present.“I am so happy for the both of you, Amanda. If anyone deserves to be happy, it’s you, and I am glad you found it with Gabe.” She fixes her gaze on me, eyes soft, nearly glassy with tears.“Thank you, Boss.” She leans over and gives me a brief

In the evening Dinner is a very quiet, somber affair. I know Gabe has probably informed the men already and they are just waiting for Noah to go to bed before the interrogation starts. I shiver, picking up my glass of water and taking a long sip. I catch Brandon’s eye briefly his face taut, and he stares at me for a moment before turning to Dawson and whispering something I can’t quite catch.Noah yawns and I slip out of my chair. “Come on, Noah, bedtime.” Relieved , I need to escape the oppressive atmosphere .He mumbles good night as we head up with Amanda in tow. Once he is asleep I head back down the stairs reluctantly as Amanda retires for the night. I find the men in the living room with a rom-com playing softly on the screen. Once I squeeze in between Desmond and Shawn, the movie is paused. The room is tense; they are all watching me, waiting patiently for me to speak. Brandon leans forward and fixes his eyes on me, his wolf barely restrained under the surface. Oohh,
