~ Audrey ~
When Audrey opened her eyes next, the first thing she saw was Killian’s face. His eyes were closed and his breathing was deep. Audrey took note of his handsome features, his sharp jawline, and long lashes. Audrey couldn’t help but smile.
The next thing she noticed was Caspian’s arms wrapped around her body. He was spooning her, her back was flushed against his chest, and Audrey could smell his intoxicating scent enveloping her.
Hmm. This feels like home.
Audrey closed her eyes and relished the moment. This was something she thought she’d never get to experience again. She couldn’t describe how happy she was, waking up next to them in this warm New York morning.
Wait a second…!
“Oh my God!” Audrey gasped and quickly jerked up. “What time is it?”<
- - - - - One Week Later - - - - -~ Caspian ~The days they lived out in Killian’s house were perhaps the best days of Caspian’s life. He would even compare it to the night they spent in Bermuda. There were no tears or heartbreaks, no stress or pain, just pure and absolute bliss.Caspian would start every morning smiling and feeling grateful for his life. He’d give Audrey a kiss on her cheek before making breakfast for everyone. And once Killian and Audrey got busy in their laptops for work, Caspian went out running to Brooklyn Bridge. He’d come back feeling refreshed and after a quick shower, he would help Killian or Audrey with their work, pushing out one bright idea after another.The mornings were great, but Caspian liked the nighttime the most. If they weren’t getting food delivered, the three
~ Audrey ~“Why the fúck is he sending you emails and love poems?!”Audrey didn’t realize this, but Caspian was standing behind her and reading her screen. He was shouting so loud that Killian heard him from the kitchen.“Caspian!” Audrey gaped and shut the laptop closed.“Who’s sending her what?” Killian appeared at the door.“Anthony Cavanaugh! That fúcking shit is sending our girl love emails,” Caspian growled.“He’s doing what?” Killian shouted back.“Guys, stop it,” Audrey quickly got up to diffuse the situation.“Yeah, you wanna tell us why he’s sending you emails saying I miss you and all that crap?” Caspian said to Audrey.“First of all,
~ Audrey ~Audrey woke up at five thirty in the morning. She couldn’t sleep that well, her mind was filled with anxious thoughts about meeting Anthony and her dad. She figured breaking things off with Anthony would be awkward and sad, but it wouldn’t be too hard. But breaking the news to her dad was where the real battle lay. The last time she told her dad about breaking off an engagement, he got a life-threatening heart attack.I’ll have to be a lot more careful this time around.Audrey rehearsed and replayed in her head the things she would tell him. She planned on telling her dad everything, from this unusual relationship with Caspian and Killian to the brothers’ agreement to work for Maxwell, and their plans on living together forever. Audrey could only hope that her dad would understand how happy she was and that there was nothing else in the wor
~ Audrey ~Audrey took a deep breath and stared at the double doors. She knew her dad was sitting in his study right behind these doors. After her meeting with Anthony, Audrey was a little shaken up, but she refused to crumble. No matter how upset or angry her dad may be, Audrey was determined to say her piece. She closed her eyes for a moment and the image of Killian and Caspian came to mind. Audrey couldn’t help but smile. Nothing could stop her from going after what she wants. And they were what she wants.With that thought in mind, Audrey opened her eyes and opened the double doors to the study. Maxwell was sitting at his desk like usual, reading something from a stack of binders in front of him, and Sebastian was standing next to him. Maxwell looked up and saw Audrey striding in. Her steps were full of conviction and determination.“Ah, look who finally decided to grace us with
~ Audrey ~When Audrey left the house this morning, she was radiating with confidence and determination. Never did she imagine that she’d end up curling up next to the toilet bowl on her bathroom floor by the end of the night.“Ugh,” Audrey groaned and pulled herself up.The maids tried to help her, but she only shooed them away. She didn’t want anyone to see her in this pitiful state. Sebastian offered to call a doctor or take her to the hospital, but she also didn’t like that idea.“I just need to rest. I just need to be alone,” she told Sebastian.Audrey didn’t feel like talking to anyone right now. Especially not her dad. She needed time to process everything and while her brain was doing that, her stomach was processing it in a different way.This is so not how things are suppo
~ Audrey ~“What’s up, bitches? I’m bringing the party with me!”Mikey swung the door open dramatically like a scene from a movie. It made a loud banging noise and Audrey and Olivia immediately looked up. They were seated in the living room of Audrey’s Hampton home. The atmosphere was still tense, but Mikey didn’t realize it. He had a smug smile playing on his face and lifted his hands up as if he was presenting a show.“Ta-da!” he said in a singsong way as Caspian and Killian appeared from behind him.Audrey let out a sigh of relief as soon as she saw them. The brothers glanced around the room and their eyes landed on her. Killian’s lips twitched into a smile and Caspian and stared at her intently.“Sorry, we’re late. But you know me, I can’t come to a party empty-handed,” Mikey pulled
~ Audrey ~“You’re what?”Audrey had said it out loud and clear. The brothers heard exactly what she said. But they couldn’t believe it. Caspian thought she must be joking and Killian’s mind went into overdrive. Killian saw the row of pregnancy sticks on the ground and he bent down to pick up one of them. The word ‘positive’ was displayed on the screen.“Is this for real?” Killian asked.No, it’s a prank. Ha-ha.Audrey wished she could say that, but no. She just sighed and sat back down. Her hands went to cover her face.“I took five pregnancy tests,” she said with her hands covering her mouth. “I drank three cans of Arizona ice tea so I could pee five times on a stick. And it all came back positive,”Audrey remembe
~ Killian ~Killian watched as Audrey slept soundly. He was seated on the edge of the bed, right next to her knee. Her eyes were closed and her chest was slowly rising up and down. Killian took note of her beautiful features. Her skin was glowing like gold under the sun, her long dark hair was sprawled like a sheet of silk, and her lips were soft and pink.Killian’s hand stretched out and landed on her thigh. He caressed her skin gently, moving along her curves. When Killian’s hand landed on her stomach, he swallowed hard.Is it… in there?Audrey stirred in her sleep. Killian pulled his hand away. Audrey then opened her eyes, and she smiled when Killian was the first thing she saw.“Hey,” Killian smiled back. “Good morning, love,”“Hmm?” Audrey bl
