g on social media about her, so how?” Chris asked,
“Okay, why are they sending her this? There isn’t anything on so
This person is smart. They probably sent whatever it was to her job and the people she is in contact with for work. That’s why there are emails and nothing more. They probably put her number online or in a forum, Andrew said.
Fuck, it was one thing after the other. She was lying in a hospital bed in a come and couldn’t do or say anything in her defense. 1 looked at Alleek.
Yesterday morning, look at the time stamp. This was why she was quiet during breakfast”
We explained what happened the previous day to them.
Andrew was pacing the living room. “Okay, something isn’t adding up. According to Rea, Layla said Josh was blackmailing her, but the idiot said he wasn’t. Someone lied. Would Layla lie to Rea?”
“Maybe she did, but she would know that Rea would tell one of us, and then Dean and Aleck would know. But if she did lie, why would she lie about her ex?” Chris asked.
Tea wouldn’t lie about something like that, would she? I mean, what would she gain from it?” Aleck asked.
“What if that asshole was lying, and he really was blackmailing her? We need her phone,” I said, looking at them..
When the sun rose, we were still there trying to plece it together. We were left with more questions than answers. Andrew and Chris left at six, they had to get to work. Aleck and I left for the office at eight. I wanted to go to the hospital to see her but didn’t. When we got to the office, lustin was waiting for us.
“Mr. Cavanaugh, your interview is set for ten in boardroom seven with Angela Davis from The Times.
“Aleck, do you want to do it?
“Nah, I’m not in the right headspace to do it. You’ll be more composed than I am. I need to get Mac and the rest of the security details and put them to
“okay.”
At minutes to ten, I was in the boardroom sitting in front of the woman. She had on too much makeup. They tried that shit with me, but I wasn’t having it.
“Mr. Cavanaugh, we’ll begin when you’re ready,” she said, trying to sound seductive but failing miserably.

“And who is this special individul?“
Like hell was I fucking saying her name.
“Just someone that is very close and special to us and our family.”
“I ser. Did your close friends know of your newfound wealth?”
“No, they never knew, and now that they know about it, nothing has changed.”
“Well, on to the questions that I know most of the female viewers will be dying to know,
I knew what was coming. They would want to know about our personal fines
Are you and your brother currently dating?”
Yes. We are both in committed relationships.”
“I see, and who are these two lucky Individuals?”
Ha, if they only knew. We were both in love with the same
me woman and sleeping with her, they would probably lose their shits
“Our partners shouldn’t be any concern to the public. We never made our identities known because we liked the privacy it gave us. Our private and personal lives were never interfered with due to our work. Ms. Davis, the truth is that my brother and I never wanted people to know who we are. but someone found out and posted it online, and that is why you’re sitting bere right now.”
someone made the connection and posted it online. Do you know who it was?!
I smiled at her. “At this exact moment, no, but our security detail is looking for the person. And make no mistake, they will be dealt with accordingly.”
“I see. There are a few pictures that are currently floating around online. It shows you and your heuther, along with some other individuals, at the hospital. Those pictures were posted by an anonymous source late last evening. Do you care to elaborate?”
“Yes, those individuals are our closest friends. Two of our friends got hurt, and we were there, is all close friends do in most cases, I assume.”
“I see. Well, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule for this interview; it is very much appreciated. And this concludes our interview.
She looked at the man, and he nodded and began packing up.

in the house. Eight bedrooms–it’s perfect for us. I want to take her house, Dean. I don’t want her staying in that hospital. We can get an in–house for her; we can afford it, and I know Mom and Dad will agree.“
“Okay. Have Mat vet the séculty detail for the house. We’ll visit the hospital after work and talk to the doctor.”
He just nudded. I couldn’t eat lunch because I lost my appetite. My mind was on her. We ended the day at five and headed straight to the hospital. I saw Diego, he came over to us.
“Boss, there was a young man here trying to see her, but I didnt let him in. He left, but not before threatening to call the police. There have been changes in her situation. Your parents have been here, but they didn’t go in, they just asked if there were any issues. They went to see the doctor and speak to him about releasing her to go home and for a narse. They said to inform you if you showed up. They are probably still in the hospital.”
“Thank you. That’s why we are here”
Boss, if I may suggest, we haven’t found any traces or clues of the person that hurt her, and you cannot trust whoever the nurse is that will remain with her daily. If that person gets to the nurse, she may hurt her. My sister is a muse, and she can be trusted to take care of M. in your presence and in your
absence.”
*Get your sister to come over. Also, contact Hilda, the house help: she’s trustworthy and will take care of everything.” Aleck said, looking at
him.

We headed towards the doctor’s office. Our parents were just leaving.
*We already have a trustworthy nurse to care for her: Diego’s sister,” I said.
“Okay. Will you be taking her back to the apartment?”
“No, we bought a house. You and Dad will stay y with us until she’s better. Hilda will retur.”
“Okay, then. It seems you boys know what needs to be done. Did Mac find anything?” Dad asked
“Nothing, but we won’t stop until we find who it is, 1 said, looking at him.

At eight that evening, we went over to the house and began setting up. Aleck had the iden to pre–order everything and had asked Nella and Mallory to up our apartment. Everything was brought over. Everyone was here and helping. There were enough rooms. We gave them a room each for whenever they visited. Rea wasn’t here; she was still in the hospital.
We were sitting outside on the patio. Hilda came over and started preparing the room on the ground floor for her. The house was fully furnished; it was just our personal stuff that needed to be put meny. We were relaxing when I saw Hilda walk out with the woman
“Mr. Cavanaugh, this is Marcella. She said, She has an appointment.”

“Mr. Cavanasuh. My name is Marcella James. My brother Diego said you would like to speak to me.”
