I was thankful for Cameron and his foresight. Pulling me out of that crowd before they swallowed me whole had saved me. I felt like I was drowning, thrown back in time to when my parents had just died. The way the reporters had swarm methrusting their microphones and cameras in my face, hounding me with questions upon questions, I had no time to think. I felt like it was going to explode, and then my flash would splutter into their mouths and maybe shut them up for a minute. That was how I felt again today. Helpless, drowning till Cameron came and pulled me out. “Are you okay?” He asked, gazing down at me with a worried expression. I smiled, more to assure myself than to dismiss the worry that was settling over him. “I’m fine, Cameron.” I replied. “You don’t have to worry. But thank you for…”I gestured with my head towards the reporters, who had moved on to their next victim. “You know?” He pulled my arm and hooked it with his. “It's why I’m here, always.” He began to lead us back

The limousine dropped Darby, Cameron, and me at my parents villa, and we said goodnight to Sally. I sighed in relief as soon as I saw the twins—fast asleep—in their cot and Ruby (Sally’s friend and our nanny for the day) draped across the couch, the baby monitor laying on her chest. “She looks tired.” Darby whispered and drew the blanket to cover her better. “I bet I’ll be able to sleep that deep once this sack of bodies hits the bed.” I went over and kissed my babies. “You deserve it; you had quite a long day.” Darby remarked. “I’ll bring the kids to their room and probably spend some time with them.” "Darby, you should rest. We all had a long day.” “It's okay,” she replied, shrugging off my concerns. “I don’t feel tired anyway." You did most of the work. Alright goodnight.” “Good night.” I greeted Cameron and retired to the room, which Cameron and I now shared. I smiled. We were already acting like married couples, and then my smile morphed into a frown. He’ll be leaving soon;

Andre’s POVI could hardly believe my eyes, but my heart and head told me I was seeing what I thought I was seeing. Lana was really the CEO of Lukem, and she was the person my mother sent me to. Of course, I had seen her before, but I assumed she was here with Cameron—I have no idea what business he has here, but well—and the speech that she gave should have brought my mind up to speed, but I guess believing that Lana was a CEO was that hard for us. But seeing her there, hooked to his arm and still oozing that confidence, which I thought made her kind of sexy, probably kicked my head to the present. How did she achieve all of this in less than two years? Kathy did mention that Cameron was Grant Myer’s son, and everyone knew Grant was a filthy billionaire. Of course, he could afford a company if he wanted one, and something like Lukem was flimsy to him. Could Cameron have done this? Perhaps not. I, too, have to admit that there is a limit to everything. But not if he was in love wi

I was wrong.My mother reacted better than I thought, even a little too well for my comfort. I despise the fact that I couldn’t read her as well as she read me. She told me her thoughts through the expression on her face, because she never had any expression on her face. She was always so composed and straight. It was chilling. Fortunately for me and unfortunately for her, none of us—neither I nor Hermione—took after her in this aspect. I think I was a good businessman, but she would always beg to differ. I was the worst businessman alive, and that was solely because I did not know how to land cold deals like her or trick partners into doing business with us while we gained more and they just lost. I was even too tired to think of why she was so composed when I had just given her the most shocking news of the century. “Lana West is the CEO.” I had announced. “And for that, I’m sorry, but I could not get her to agree to a meeting.” She had simply taken a sip from the china set on t
TOO GOOD TO LEAVE TOO BAD TO STAY Chapter Fifty-Eight
Cameron was leaving, but I didn’t want to let go of him just yet. I tucked my arms around him and rested my head on his chest for just a few more minutes. His lips found my forehead, and he placed a light kiss there. It felt warm; it felt like home, and now my home was leaving. “I wish you didn’t have to go.” I murmured softly. But he has to, didn’t he? First, he has spent too much time away, and any more time he spends away would be seen as dereliction of duties and neglecting his position.Cameron slipped his hand under my chin, tilting my face up to meet his gaze. “I know, Lana. Believe me, I wish I could stay too. But you know how it is with the company. They need me back in Black Bricks.“I understand, Cameron. Even a CEO has rules to follow. That doesn’t change the fact that I don’t want you to go.” I sighed. It was just a few weeks, and I had started to get used to him being here. “The twins will miss you.” I added.His fingers caressed my face gently. “I know. Tell them that
TOO GOOD TO LEAVE TOO BAD TO STAY Chapter Fifty-Nine
Andre’s POVThe morning came too early, and after last night, my body felt like it needed sleep, but my mind tried to remind me of all the things I needed to do today. There was the visit to that hospital, which I had taken Lana to more than a year ago. Hopefully, they’ll be able to tell mewhat I wanted to hear, and possibly they’ll confirm my suspicions. Then, I also needed to get ahead of whatever my mother was planning for Lana. That woman never had something good up her sleeves; maybe see Lana? Seeing her yesterday only made me realise how much I wanted her. I turned to my side, not on the bed, and almost groaned when I saw Kathy there. Lana should have been here instead; I could remember that sense of peace I used to feel whenever I woke up to Lana by my side. I had taken it for granted, though; never again. “Look who’s up.” Kathy said it with a smile. “Good morning, sleepy head. Last night was good; all the more reason why I should rethink that divorce thing.” She pushed he

The smell of disinfectant hit me as we made our way through the hospital lobby. I scrunched my nose and stole a glance at Kathy. Damn, I hated this place. How long has it been since I was last here? If I recall clearly, the last time I was here was over a year ago when I brought Lana to the hospital. We made our way to the receptionist desk, which held a petite, brunette nurse. She glanced up as we approached, but her fingers continued tapping away at the keyboard. I cleared my throat. “Excuse me, miss,” I began. “I’m here to inquire about a patient who was treated here about a year and a half ago.”The nurse, whose name I saw from the tag on her chest to be Angela Lackerman, nodded and offered us a polite smile. Her eyes strayed to Kathy and then back to me. “Of course,” she answered. “I’d be happy to assist you.” She looked at her computer screen. "Do you have the patient’s name and any other relevant information?”“Uhh, yes.” I responded. “Her name is Lana West. But she might hav
TOO GOOD TO LEAVE TOO BAD TO STAY Chapter Sixty-One
The nurse, whose name was Jeannie, was a petite, fine lady in her early or mid-thirties. She had round, wide-set eyes that crinkled when she smiled; it looked like she smiled a lot; her hair was held in a ponytail above her head; and her lips were curled in a warm smile. “Good afternoon.” She greeted me warmly as she met Kathy and me. We were seated on one of the benches in the reception. Another nurse whose name I had forgotten to ask had offered to call Jeannie Daniels for us, and minutes later, she appeared. “I was told you wanted to see me.” I nodded and stood to my feet. “I did. Is there any place more private where we can talk?” Her brows shot to the sky, and a frown appeared on her face. That frown did not suit her. “I’m sorry.” I added it immediately. “Forgive my manners; my name is Andre Lynch, and this is my wife, Kathy Lynch.” Jeannie nodded. “Is there anything I can do for you?” She looked at the watch on her wrist. “I have a patient to attend to in ten minutes.”“We
