All Chapters of The Billionaire's Nun (The Van Dyke Sisters 4): Chapter 31 - Chapter 38

For the first time in years Julian went to Saint John’s Church with his sister. Cassandra went to mass at least four times a month. When Julian had asked her if she was going to mass today, she had said yes. Then she had looked like she was going to faint when he had said he wanted to go with her. Then Cassandra had nearly died when he said he wanted to get there early enough to go to confession Yes. Julian felt so awful about what he had tried to do to Chastity, he felt like he had to go to confession for the first time in years. Julian sat in the booth as the slot opened from the other side, exposing the black iron grill separating him from a priest. “Forgive me father for I have sinned. It has been six years since my last confession,” Julian admitted. A long moment went by. “What do you need to confess, my son?” Julian quickly told the priest about Chastity and how he had pursued her until she made him realize

Several weeks later . . . Chastity had returned to New York for Thanksgiving. This year her mother had gone all out since every in-law branch of the New York Van Dykes were coming. Thankfully, their out-of-state extended family weren’t coming this year. They didn’t have a table big enough to seat everyone if they had. Her mother would have had to rent a tent to have dinner if out-of-state family had shown up. As it were, the staff had to put three leaves in the dining room table to accommodate everyone. Catherine and Cameron had brought Harold and Angela King with them, Cameron’s father and stepmother - and Terrance, Cameron’s half-brother. Chelsea brought her jackass husband along with her in-laws, Violet and Deidre Dawson. Cassandra and Julian Beaumont were invited as well. Hector was spending Thanksgiving with Agatha’s family this year. The chef had also gone all out, showing off his culinary tactics. He had cooked a twenty-six-pound

A week and a half later . . . Chastity and several of the other sisters were at Saint Leonard’s Catholic Church volunteering for their soup kitchen. They would be volunteering all week. The soup kitchen was in the basement of the church. Chastity was placing festive Christmas themed tablecloths on the tables when Jane, a soon to-be-nun, walked in – with Julian behind her. “Chastity, look who came to volunteer with us today?” Jane chirped. Like the rest of them, she was wearing a nun’s veil and black jumper. “Julian,” Chastity said with surprise. “Hey. I came to lend a hand,” Julian said with a whisper of a smile. “Isn’t that sweet of him?” Jane preened. “Yes. At this point, Julian is being so sweet I’m starting to get a toothache,” Chastity said with a smirk. Julian and Jane laughed. “Tell me about it. I’m ruining my reputation as a heartless businessman,” Julian sai

A week later . . . Chastity had arrived in New York last night. She had thought it best to not to tell anyone about her new assignment in Mexico until after Christmas. She didn’t want to bring everyone down during the Christmas holiday. Chiapas was in the most southern part of Mexico. This might be the last Christmas she would spend in New York for a while – and she intended to enjoy it as best she could. It was Christmas Eve. This year the Van Dykes weren’t throwing a Christmas party. Instead, they traveled to other houses they were invited to. The first stop was the Beaumonts. A large white Christmas tree was in the corner of the room with gold bulbs and white lights hung on the branches. Various people were around the room drinking and talking. Some Chastity knew some she didn’t. Garland hung from the fireplace mantle. Miniature Christmas knick knacks were around the room. Christmas music played. Julian appeared almost as
