All Chapters of Ex and Son Beg, But I Never Turn Back: Chapter 371 - Chapter 380

Luigi’s POVA rush of nervous energy sat in the pick of my stomach as Logan and I waited for Sasha.We were taking her out for lunch as I often did when I was trying to wine and dine new clients. We’d chosen one of the highest end, most expensive restaurants in town. I found that sometimes important business meetings were best served over food. It lent a casual atmosphere to the whole thing, and caused the clients to loosen up a bit.Logan and I had both prepared a list of questions for Sasha, mainly about the safety of the grapes. Neither of us had any idea about hybrid fruit, or what went into creating them, and we just wanted to make sure we were covering our asses from a liability stand point, so to speak.The waiter poured my signature merlot blend into the three glasses, and Logan and I ordered a charcuterie board, since most women liked those, in my experience.Moments later, Sasha appeared, following the hostess to our table.Standing up, we greeted her. She looked very differe

Third Person POV‘Get your shit together,’ Sasha scolded herself as she waved over the bartender.“Shot of whiskey,” she told him. “Make it fast.”Behind her, Logan and Luigi were discussing the contract. Her arm pits were sweaty, and all she wanted to do was get the hell out of this damn pretentious restaurant.Brains?Who the hell eats brains? Why was that even a menu option?When Sasha saw that the entire menu was in French, she panicked. She didn’t know French. She was a biochemist, not a linguist. But she knew in the back of her head that rich people ate French food. At least, they always did on TV shows. So she had to act like I knew what I was doing.Of all the things she could have pointed to on that menu, Sasha had chosen brains.The dish had been visually off-putting at best. But the moment Logan told her what it really was, she almost choked. Reaching for her napkin to spit out the disgusting food, she’d knocked over her water and caused a scene. Then she’d taken a big gulp

Third Person POVSighing heavily into the phone, Sasha didn’t reply at first. She knew this was coming. Giulia was having all of them watched, and Sasha knew that Giulia would find out about this little weekend away.“They invited me,” Sasha said. “What was I supposed to do?”“You were supposed to decline the invitation,” Giulia hissed into the phone. In her mind’s eye, Sasha could see Giulia, standing at her office window, smoking a cigarette, a frown on her face.“It would have been rude,” Sasha tried to defend herself, but Giulia cut her off.“The more time you spend with these people, the better chance you have of getting caught. We already went over this. You aren’t who they think you are.”“In a way, I am though,” Sasha replied. “I’m a biochemist. And I did create the hybrid grape just like you asked me to.”“Enough,” Giulia said. Then she inhaled a sharp breath into the phone before Sasha heard her high heels click across the floor as she paced. “This is all a façade. You’re alr

Willow’s POVWatching Sasha through breakfast the next morning, I was more sure than ever that I should call Jay. She was tense and on edge, only speaking when spoken to.Part of me was wondering if I was just being paranoid. But Luigi and I had been through the wringer, and I was no stranger to people trying to take advantage of us. Giulia had swept into Luigi’s life, claiming that she wanted him back when she really wanted to take over his US winery for a drug smuggling, money laundering scheme.And Beatrice had bamboozled Logan, working with Giulia and selling Luigi’s stolen wine.So yeah, I was a little suspicious of this strange, tense woman who just happened to be some sort of biochemist that made hybrid grapes.After breakfast, I politely excused myself to go and phone Jay. Luigi offered to ake the kids on a long walk out on the trail, and Logan asked Sasha if she’d like to play a game. To my surprise, Sasha agreed to play with him. But that didn’t assuage my suspicions.Up in t

Third person POVLuigi, Willow, and Logan stared at the picture, their faces riddled with shock, just as Sasha knew they would be.“I don’t understand,” Willow said, her voice low.“I know,” Sasha sighed. “It’s a lot to take in. It’s why I didn’t tell you before. People don’t always react the best when they find out.”“Find out?” Luigi asked.But Logan had put it all together. With a gentle voice, he looked at Sasha with kind eyes.“You had a sex change,” he said.Both Willow and Luigi’s eyes widened as Sasha nodded.“Yes,” she said. “Jay and I were friends, but I was Sebastian back then. After college, we lost touch, and I started my transformation. Deep down, I’d always felt like I was trapped in the wrong body. So after college, I finally made the difficult decision to do what I’d always wanted to do. I transitioned into Sasha.”Sasha chose her words carefully, curated from articles she’d read about people who had transitioned from one sex to the other. It was all bullshit, of cours
