Chapter 26
Loraine and Jake were quietly laughing in the kitchen as they listened to Gil pepper Reno with questions. The inquest had started with safe questions about the resort, and then he very loudly asked Reno’s sexual preference to the current topic of his intentions for Loraine. Reno answered all of them with a laugh in his voice and never once got defensive or irritated. It was amazing how easy going he was. “I’m so glad he’s not a bigot. Not very many straight guys would be comfortable sitting and drinking with Gil, let alone being pawed the way I did,” Jake commented, watching them through the window in the wall that faced the living room.
“I’m glad too. Except for cheating spouses, he’s very easy with everything else. I kinda love him,” she blushed pouring lemon juice into the chicken souse.
Jake’s smile grew into a grin. “I’m so glad you said that. I always thought you’d be too traumatized to

Loraine wasn’t exactly sure what to say as she stood there, staring down at the little person sitting on the couch partially hidden by Melody’s body. She hadn’t believed it when Reno told her about his phone conversation with Ruiz that had visibly rattled him on their way back to the resort. But now as she stared at him at his beautiful little face that was the miniature version of his father, there was no doubt that this was Reno’s son. A whirlwind of emotions bombarded her but one stood out prominently—jealousy. Not of the boy but of his mother. She’d actually dreamed of giving him his first kid, his first son. The past few days with Reno had made her want a number of things, hope for many more as she excitedly planned for a future that at the moment looked bleak. Had Georgia come back? Was she hoping for reconciliation with Reno? Why else would she bring their son to him? Is this where I lose Reno? Just the thought of the possibility made

Reno paced in his office, suddenly feeling caged. He never expected this, least of all, he never expected Georgia to do this without an ulterior motive. What was she planning? Was this kid a preview to the real gag? What the hell was she thinking doing this, now?“Reno, what are you thinking?”Reno looked at Ruiz, seated in the chair with his arms crossed over his chest. He looked relaxed but the look in his eyes betrayed him. He was worried. Reno had told him a little about Georgia. Ruiz was actually glad she’d skipped on him. His exact words were ‘you dodged a bullet bro, that woman is conniving and nothing but trouble.’Well, it looked like trouble had come looking.“That Georgia is up to something and it’s not good.”He nodded. “What about the kid? He’s definitely your son.”Reno sighed, halting his pacing. He didn’t know what to think about the kid. At one time, he&

He rested his arm over his eyes. “Do what?”“Groan like you are upset. Tyler is three and in a strange place. He might get scared and I told him he could come sleep with us if he does.”Reno groaned again and yelped right after when Loraine pinched him. “Why do you keep doing that?”Reno moved his arm and looked at her. “Could we please not discuss this right now? I’m exhausted.”Her brow rose and her lips spread in a grin. He knew he was in trouble because there was nothing happy about that grin. “What’s his name Reno?”“What?”“What’s your son’s name Reno?” she demanded angrily.“Tyler,” he answered and he only knew that because she’d said it just a few minutes ago. He’d come with an envelope full of papers about him but Reno hadn’t bothered to look inside it. He didn’t want to know.

Loraine watched Tyler as he played with his action figures on the carpet on the floor in the living room. For the past two days it had been nice watching him come out of his shell, though he still refused to go outside. He enjoyed exploring the house, going from room to room like they each held an exciting secret he was anxious to figure out. It had shocked her when he asked for permission before he ventured to any part of the house. Apparently the witch had him segregated to one room all his life. It pissed her off and that rage festered as Reno continued to ignore him.For the past two days, Reno would leave early in the morning and come back late in the evening. He was avoiding her as well, avoiding the discussion she wanted to have with him about Tyler. Since she was still frightened of her haunting nightmares, she stayed awake holding Tyler as he slept waiting until she felt Reno’s body lie behind her before she allowed herself to sleep.She didn’t und

Her blush deepened. “I like him, but I want Allan to like him more than I do before I let it get further than what it is now.”Loraine smirked. “Don’t hold your breath. You are his baby sister and now that he’s a father to a little girl, he’s going to be impossible. What does Ruiz think?”She shrugged. “As long as we keep the intimacy light, he’s willing to wait until Allan is comfortable with him as his brother-in-law then as the guy dating his sister, before things get serious.”Loraine smiled noticing that same glimmer in her eyes that she noted in Riana’s and hopefully was present in her own. Fairy tale love that makes one think that magic exists in the world. She just hoped she still had that glimmer once Reno gets his head out of his ass.“So, what are you going to do now Loraine?” she asked somberly.Loraine wasn’t sure if she was asking about the psycho stal

Reno stomped all the way to the resort in a haze of anger. How could Loraine disobey him! What the hell did she think she was doing, claiming a kid that wasn’t even hers? Hell, there was a possibility the kid wasn’t even his and he just looked like Reno out of coincidence. Even if Tyler was his, Loraine had no right to make that kind of decision for him.What was Reno going to do with a three year old?He remembered the look on his face the moment he and Loraine walked into the house. Fear and hope. Fear because he was in a strange place surrounded by people he didn’t know. Reno understood that but not the hope. Well, he didn’t then. But after Loraine’s announcement it was a no brainer.The kid wanted parents; people to love and cherish him and Loraine had granted him that wish.Reno could hear the desperation in his voice when Tyler asked Loraine to be his mother and his joy when she said yes. He’d have to be heartless not to notice, but that didn’t mean he wanted to be a father.God

Reno turned to the knock on his office door. He was a little surprised when Melody’s head peeked through. He hadn’t seen her for a few days since he was kicked out of his own home, which made him wonder what exactly she was doing in his office at the moment.“May I come in?”He nodded his assent standing up. “What are you doing here?”She smiled moving into the room. “You were expecting me to give you the silent treatment as well?”He shrugged, motioning for her to take a seat before he sat back down. “Loraine will count this as a betrayal you know.”“She knows I’m here. You should be happy she hasn’t called Riana, yet.”He scoffed. “What, kicking me out of my own home wasn’t enough?”She chuckled, shaking her head. “Why did you let her do that?”He shook his head. “It seemed like the easier option at

He kept the discussion on topic by asking, “What aren’t you telling me about this gold woven business proposition?”Her shapely brows drew together. “What do you mean?”He leaned forward, placing his elbows on the desk. “There is something I believe questionable about this whole deal you are leaving out. What is it?”She worried her lower lip, her eyes darting around the room as she strived to avoid meeting his gaze.Yup, he knew it. Something wasn’t right and he knew just the person to ask.Reno pressed his intercom and spoke into it. “Shea, please ask Ruiz to come in here.”Reno had noticed the two of them had gotten close, romantic even and it made him slightly uncomfortable. He worried about Allan’s reaction and what it would do to his baby sister’s marriage if their little romance blew up in all their faces. There would be no getting out of family-get-toget
