Alle Kapitel von His Secret Second: Kapitel 71 – Kapitel 80

(Jenna POV)Before Beth could say anything else, we heard a couple of cars pull into the driveway. Soon, Beth’s family started to pile into the duplex.They were loaded down with baggage and presents, but they took one look at Beth and immediately began wrapping her up in hugs and kisses.“We’ve missed you,” they kept telling her, as they began peppering her with questions about how she was feeling and how she was doing.Beth started to laugh and smile, her tears long since forgotten. I could easily tell that she loved her family just as much as they loved her.For a moment, I allowed myself to enjoy and appreciate the warmth of their reunion. And in the next, I acknowledged the slight pang of jealousy flowing through me. I had never had parents and family who missed or cared about me, and it was unlikely that I would ever have that experience in this lifetime.Ultimately, I stood to leave, not wanting to intrude or get in the way of anything.But then I heard Danny’s voice.He was

(Jenna POV)The lights in the ballroom dimmed, and a bright spotlight flashed on the grand staircase.Beth soon appeared, Danny at her side. They walked slowly down, with Danny’s hand at Beth’s lower back. Beth looked fabulous. She was wearing a pink pale dress, and the pink and blond wig Ashley helped her pick out months ago.More strikingly, Danny’s red tie had been replaced with a pale pink one that matched Beth’s dress. It was such a small thing, and yet it felt like a gut punch.When Danny and Beth reached the bottom, the dance floor cleared for them. Beth placed her head on Danny’s shoulder, and they began dancing. They looked happy and in love.Logically, I knew it was just for show. But as I watched them, I couldn’t help but wonder if I was simply fooling myself…. especially when Willow began begging me to let her out so that she could “rip Beth’s heart out.”Right around the same time, a few photographers were allowed to come inside and snap a few pictures.I could a

(Jenna POV)I set the last box down and looked around the condo. It wasn’t my house in Frankfort, but I had to admit… the place had a lot of charm.And it was all mine.“Girl, please tell me that you are smiling like that because Andrew brought ice cream.”I glanced over at Ashley, who was currently making herself comfortable on my living room couch.“I would have had time to get some if our dear luna had helped with some of the boxes,” Andrew hollered from the kitchen.“Uh-uh. I helped her move twice already. I’m not doing it three times,” she replied without a hint of remorse. “If she wanted my help, she should have hired movers.”“Hot movers,” Andrew added.“Definitely hot movers,” Ashley agreed.I rolled my eyes.It had been eight weeks since my birthday. Seven weeks since I demanded a “break” from Danny. And six weeks since Ashley and I welcomed Andrew into our friendship circle.And yes, by Andrew, I mean Andrew Rosen –also known as the pack’s Head of Security who was made

(Jenna POV)“Please put your hand over your heart. Do you solemnly swear, on the grace of the Moon Goddess, that you will tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?”“I do.”“Ms. Maxwell, you may proceed.”I thanked the court reporter.“Please state your name.”“Mara Voss.”Mara Voss. The human female suing Mr. McMahon. Also known as one of the identical twins who had a three-some with Danny before we met.“I don’t know what Danny saw in her,” Willow linked.I studied Mara for a moment. She gave off a weird vibe, and although she was pretty, it was that “fake” kind of pretty. The kind that made you wonder what she would look like when the makeup, eyelashes, hair extensions, and other enhancements were removed.But maybe I was just looking for flaws. It was weird deposing a female my mate had f&&ked. I silently reminded myself that I needed to be professional.“Good morning, Ms. Voss. I represent Mr. McMahon, and I am going to be taking your deposition today. I

(Danny POV)I caught my reflection in the mirror behind the bar.My eyes were red; my jaw was tight; my hair was overgrown; and I looked like I was one word away from shattering completely.Which meant that I looked better than I felt.Huh.I looked down at the whiskey glass in my hand. It was half-empty, but I didn’t remember drinking it. Nor did I remember drinking the other drinks that I had had so far this evening.It was a random Thursday. I should be at the duplex, helping Beth’s new nurse get settled and figure out things. Mandy was the sixth nurse we had hired since Jessica left, and we had high hopes that she would last a while. Goddess knows that we needed her to. Dr. Patel recently quit, and doctors were much harder to replace. We needed to spend our time focused on replacing him.Given my leave of absence, I had barely any work that I had to do for the pack. However, I had started to blow even that off. I had missed two meetings and blown off a trip Kade needed me
