The Proposal (Book 3 of The Arrangement series) Chapter 12- Because I Love You
The rage came alive inside Amberleigh like some beast had awoken. No one threatened her boys or her unborn child! Sweet Leo, his life potentially shattered by such a sick evil lie, branded as a pedophile. And Grayson and his father’s private pain exposed for all the world to see. It would hurt the company’s image and make the investors lose faith. A company with two sick heirs didn’t bode well and from what Amber heard about the other Godwin’s, none of them were good choices for the job.Not to mention Grayson had confessed the image of The Godwin Railroad was even more important at a time like this, so fucking close to an expansion deal to expand. If those investors pulled out, or the sale fell through, it opened up the way for another railroad to gain ground in the states. A railroad owned by a drug cartel and just a front to traffic drugs and kidnapped women across the country. America depended on The Godwin Railroad and its armored trains to ship people and cargo safely across the
The Proposal (Book 3 of The Arrangement series) Chapter 13- What Else Should I Know?
It was the sound of Leo’s monitor alarming that pulled Amberleigh and Grayson from their moment. They pulled apart quickly, neither of them said a word, but both had fear in their hearts over what it could mean. They both sprinted out of the bathroom and towards Leo’s side as swiftly as possible with Grayson’s still trembling body. Amber helped steady him, but her own heart was anything but steady in her chest.Terrified of what she would find, Amber bit her lip until the tang of blood filled her mouth as she entered the makeshift operating room. Beside her, Grayson was panting again, those harsh breaths which almost sounded painful. Leo was moving on the stretcher, his body bucking upwards, his hands going towards the tube down his throat, while Cori was trying to push some medication through his IV. The ventilator was alarming loudly.“What’s going on?” asked Grayson.“Can you hold his hands so he doesn’t extubate himself? I’m giving him some more sedation so he doesn’t fight agains
The Proposal (Book 3 of The Arrangement series) Chapter 14- Some Fairytales Weren't Meant To Last
Amberleigh leaned her ass against Leo’s stretcher, careful not to touch any wires or tubes. She placed a hand over her belly. It wasn’t just the hormones making her feel sentimental. It was also a byproduct of this crazy day. She wondered how one day could bring so many different fucking emotions with it.Grayson propped one of his long legs atop his knee, in an effort to make himself more comfortable. The shower had made the pretty boy smell better but had done little to revive him. His eyes were red rimmed, and his words seemed to come at more of an effort now. The billionaire was utterly exhausted.“Maybe you should get some rest and we can finish this later. You look like you can barely hold your head up,” suggested Amber.“Let me bring you a cot and some blankets,” chimed in Cori, “I’ll take good care of Leo while you get some rest. It would do you some good.”But he stubbornly shook his head, “Thanks for the offer, but I can’t fucking sleep right now anyway. Could I get some cof
The Proposal (Book 3 of The Arrangement series) Chapter 15- Care To Explain?
Grayson was gone for quite a while. So long that Amberleigh debated checking on the billionaire to make sure he wasn’t punching shit again or passed out on the bathroom floor. But she wanted to respect his need for space and privacy. He still had her watch, so perhaps he was calling his parents? She decided that if he didn’t emerge in ten more minutes, she would go in after his ass. In the meantime, Amber savored the coffee that Donny had hand delivered. Though she found her appetite now waning for the heaping plate of Christmas dinner favorites. Her plate of turkey, veggies, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, baked mac’ n’ cheese, and a dinner roll, looked hella better than Grayson’s plate of tofu and steamed greens. Not likely he would eat much of it or find the humor in it now. The playful mood had soured in more ways than one. Bless his heart Donny had also brought a plate with several different kinds of desserts because he couldn’t s
The Proposal (Book 3 of The Arrangement series) Chapter 16- Everything I Love Is Also Here In This Room
But Amberleigh knew the thing about good dreams was how much worse you felt when you fucking woke up. Was one truly better off to escape reality for a while, when the pain of it felt much sharper when that fantasy crumbled into ashes? Amber knew she shouldn’t entertain such dark thoughts especially at a time like this, but she couldn’t make them stop.Leo was still teetering on the edge of death. Anything could go wrong, even the Doc had warned the chef wasn’t in the clear just yet. Grayson pretended to be okay, but he had yet to believe his new wife had a hit out on him, let alone deal with the emotional implications of such a harsh reality. A woman he’d grown up with and had loved once wanted him dead. He had yet to deal with all the trauma he’d suffered during his abduction. And he still didn’t know that his brother’s death hadn’t been an accident. That was going to hurt like hell and Amber feared how he would react. No doubt in a self-destructive rage.Amber had yet to process mo
The Proposal (Book 3 of The Arrangement series) Chapter 17- Time To Wish That Ho A Merry Fucking Christmas
Amberleigh had made sure both of her boys were tucked in tight and had given both of them a goodnight kiss on the brow. Cori sensed her distress as Amber dabbed at her eyes while lingering at Leo’s bedside. The woman gave Amber a side hug and a promise.“I’ll take good care of them both I promise.”“Thank you. I hate to leave either one of them. But I know they’re in good hands.”“Tell you what, let’s exchange numbers and I’ll call you if anything happens while you’re out. Help put your mind at ease,” suggested Cori.“That would be wonderful thank you.”Amber tapped her smart watch against Cori’s to share their phone numbers. She also sent a text message to her father to ask him for a ride to Grayson’s penthouse in uptown. It wasn’t like she could cart a billion dollars back on the subway after all. Too many bags and too much suspicion. She couldn’t even carry all those fucking bags by herself anyway.While she waited for her father’s reply, and with Grayson finally fucking out, Amb
The Proposal (Book 3 of The Arrangement series) Chapter 18- Need I Continue?
Amberleigh’s fury only increased the deeper she got into the penthouse and realized that cunt had called in Angelina, Maria, and Janelle on Christmas to work her impromptu party. That thoughtless bitch had pulled the maids away from celebrating the holidays with their families to serve her spoiled guests cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. Obviously, this mixer had been thrown together and not preplanned by lack of actual wait staff and caterers, using the maids to pull a triple duty tonight. They most likely prepared the food, served it, and would have to clean up from the festivities after. Classic Christmas music played from the speakers in the ceilings throughout the penthouse and no decor beyond what had already been decorated for Christmas had been added. Amber certainly got several looks as she made her way across the pristine floor and twenty or so guests. All of them screamed money and no souls, expensively dressed and draped in jewels. Courtney’s closest family and
The Proposal (Book 3 of The Arrangement series) Chapter 19- Low-key Saint
Valencia screamed and stamped her foot like a five-year-old. Her face flushed to the color of the berries weaved in the wreaths lining the hallway. “You were a gold-digging whore who seduced my poor naive Jack no doubt! And even worse, you have Grayson believing your smear campaign against him! Jack and I can’t even get a reservation for a table or a hotel in this whole city! We had to put the lease for our new loft in my name! And Jack had to get his new Bentley shipped clear from Portland because no dealership around here would do business with him. Grayson has blacklisted him! Speaking of which, you promised me Courts, that Grayson would fix his mistake!” This was welcomed news to Amber indeed. She couldn’t help but smile. So, Grayson had retaliated against Jackson in the way he knew best, hit him where it hurt the most. The billionaire had known that night, the courts would not favor a whore over an elite member of society. His calculating move was not unlike the way Grayson had
