Belinda's POV As I thought it took a long time for my parents to appear in court for the first time, they were applying for bail, but it was denied. I am glad they were denied bail. Amanda, Chase, and I were all in court. Christine started crying when she saw Amanda sitting next to me. Amanda told me that Jake would take the case. He postponed all his plans. He had to go overseas to represent Christine. And I know it is because he wants to be famous. I know he's not one of the best lawyers, and Christine does not stand a chance of getting out of it. We leave the courtroom, and Amanda excuses herself, eager to return to the office. She has been enjoying her job lately, and I know Halgart is very impressed with her work. I am proud of my sister and am glad she is improving. Halgart is letting her help him on one of his bigger cases, and I trust Helgart as he will never put his job, reputation, or our firm in a difficult position. The best thing that could have happened to Amanda is t
Belinda's POVWe drive to Connor's School to pick him up. He looked surprised to see his father and me because usually, only one of us goes to pick him up. He seems excited when he sees both of us. He runs to the car, and Chase gets out fast to ensure Conner's safety. He grabs Connor into his arms and carries him to the car."Mom, I am so happy you and Dad are here to fetch me today. Are you not working?" Connor asks. "No, honey, we have a surprise for you. We are going to spend the rest of the day together. We are going to go to the zoo and have a picnic there. Will you like that?" I ask."I would love it, Mommy! I cannot wait for us to be a family for the whole day. Grandma and Grandpa want me to come and visit them this weekend. Can I? I like to go and play at their house, but I want to spend more time with them," Connor says. "I am sure we can arrange it for this weekend. Will you miss Mommy and Daddy?" I ask. I am afraid that Connor is not used to being away from me. He might g
Chase's POVThe rest of the week goes by fast. There is not much going on with the trial of Henry Jones and the others involved in the case. Simmons' case will be trailed on its own as he had nothing to do with the murder, but he did try to cover it up. He also decided to go with Jake as his attorney as Henry is in jail and can not represent him. That is all we heard this week. It is almost the weekend, and I cannot wait for Belinda and me to leave. We will spend the weekend in Las Vegas. Connor can not wait to spend time with his grandparents, and he has his bags packed and ready when Belinda and I get home on Friday. We promised Connor we would take him to my parents' house on Friday. Belinda wants to stay here for one night before we leave for Las Vegas. She wants to ensure Connor will be fine staying alone at my parent's house and not looking for us in the middle of the night. They are close to each other. I know that Connor never slipped a night away from his mother. I'm also sl
Belinda's POVWe get in the car after greeting Grandpa since Grandma has left without greeting us. And I know it is because she fears we will change our minds and take little Connor home. I am glad Connor can spend some time with his grandparents. He needs it, and they need it too. Well, it looks like it's only Chase and me for the rest of the weekend. "Shall we go out to dinner tonight? We will be sitting alone at home and only miss the little one. I know you will worry about him the whole time. So let's go and enjoy ourselves. It is about time that we get to know each other better. I want to know everything about you. And I believe that we can become closer this weekend. We will call Connor later when we get home. I can promise you he will not be going to bed early. As I know, my parents will play with him for as long as they can. They will keep him up all night if they can. They know Connor loves trains, and they have built one big trainset in his spare rooms. It took my father th
Belinda's POV"So, Chase is the master of flirting around here?" I laugh. "He was until you walked into his life with the little one. Now he is boring. When did the two of you got married? We were supposed to be each other's best men, and you skipped me. I will remember that when I get married someday. Don't get too happy, father. It won't happen soon. I am so enjoying my freedom, and I won't get caught like Chase," Nick says. "Excuse me, are you saying I caught him? What does that mean? Are you telling me that I set a trap for him?" I ask. I can see Nick feeling uncomfortable, and Chase starts laughing. "Um, I did not mean it like that. I just meant that he is married now. I don't know when you got married. I do not even know if you are married, but all I meant is that he got married. I did not suggest that you set a trap for him because if you did, you would have told him when you were pregnant. I know many women who want to do that to me, like Sarah Harper. She hangs around here
Chase's POVI am pissed off at Sarah for spoiling our night. I am sure that Belinda must be angry because Sarah interfered with our night. I am sure she is not in the mood to wine and dine with me anymore. I will not blame her if she wants to go home. Perhaps we should have just stayed home and had a quiet night together. I thought I was doing her a favor by bringing her out. I didn't want her to worry about Connor all the time. I knew she would miss him, so I didn't want us to stay home all night. We will be flying to Las Vegas early tomorrow morning. I was hoping that we could have a relaxing night before flying to Las Vegas, as we will have a hectic Saturday and Sunday in Las Vegas. We will be flying back on Sunday afternoon. As soon as we land, we will pick up Connor, as he has school on Monday."Do not let that woman upset you. Let's have fun. I am not going to let anybody spoil our weekend. I would love to have a lovely, relaxing night with you. So let us forget about her," Beli
Chase's POV Last night was wild. The wine relaxed us, and Belinda and I got wild in bed last night. I forgot to use protection as both of us were drunk, and we did not care. All we wanted was each other. Belinda and I were not feeling well this morning, but after a healthy breakfast, we decided to still go to Las Vegas. When will we get the chance to go away together again? I know Connor will love being with my parents, but I believe that he will not go again soon as he is very attached to his mother. He will enjoy the weekend but wants to return and stay with us for the next few weeks. We are also always busy with work. Sometimes I have to work on weekends as my business demands a lot from me. I don't always get time to spend with Belinda and Connor, and it is getting on my nerves. Belinda refuses to work on weekends, but sometimes, her clients will call her if they are in trouble, and she will have to go and bail them out. Some get locked up over weekends and expect their attorney t
Chase's POVI wonder if Belinda is angry at me. She said she is not, but one never knows with a woman. I could not tell, and it looked like she was unhappy with me. I know I messed up in the past, but it was before she got back into my life. I love it, and I hope she is not angry with me because I cannot live without her. I cannot think of a life without her and Connor. She and Connor are the reason I live. "Are you angry at me? I know I may stop in the past, but it was before you and Connor came into my life," I ask. The woman has been removed from our presence, and I do not want to see her again. She will never work for me again. "Don't be silly. I'm not angry. What you did in your past has nothing to do with our relationship now," Belinda says as she moves closer and hugs me. I grab her and start kissing her. Belinda pushed me away. She looks up at me and smiles. It is not a far trip to Las Vegas. We will be there in half an hour."Don't push me away, honey. I want to kiss you. Y
