The Endgame (book 4 of The Arrangement Series) Chapter 22- Mother Knew Best
Amberleigh found a secret weapon in the war against keeping Grayson’s ass in bed, and it wasn’t just threatening to withhold future sex from him. It came in the form of a beautiful woman with silver hair, bright blue eyes, and a sweet smile, Viola Godwin, aka Grayson’s mother. For such a petite and gentle woman, Viola had no trouble keeping both of the men in her life in line.After the day had bled into a decent hour, and a nap on Grayson’s part, Amber had guilted him into calling his mother. He decided to stick with the car accident story. Amber chuckled when she could hear over the phone when motherly concern turned into angry mama bear whose cub hadn’t informed her immediately after he was hurt. She enjoyed the scolding he got and was thrilled with the declaration mama bear was coming right over. Upon waking, Grayson had already made the mistake, of asking Amber to bring him his laptop from his home office.With list in hand, Leo was sent off on a medical supply run, and Viola mad
The Endgame (book 4 of The Arrangement Series) Chapter 23- Splintered
Viola came by to sit with her son every day until the end of that first week. While Grayson loved his mother dearly, he’d soon grown tired of her company, not just because he hated to be taken care of, but also because of the stories his mother brought with her. She and Amber grew closer as the hours passed and their lips never seemed to stop moving, much to the surly billionaire’s chagrin.But Amber loved every fucking minute of her company, got satisfaction from the flushed cheeks or aggravated sighs from Grayson that his mother’s stories often caused. And she had the best stories indeed. Amber would tuck herself into the armchair by Leo’s bed and listen to Viola spill all the embarrassing anecdotes, often laughing until she peed herself a little. The stories were worth pure gold. Even though Leo often made an appearance in them, the chef never seemed to get embarrassed by their retelling and often added juicy details of his own. He seemed to enjoy the trip down memory lane while hi
The Endgame (book 4 of The Arrangement Series) Chapter 24- Not So Sure This Is Such A Good Idea
While there was no magic make Grayson not an ass button, the billionaire’s mood did seem to somewhat improve with Amberleigh’s new battle strategy. Between that and the electric wheelchair Amber had Leo buy, it gave Grayson a greater sense of control. He spent the better part of the next morning trying to figure out a way to maneuver himself into it using 1.5 arms and the power of his thigh muscles. He seemed to like challenges and it gave him a focus to strive to achieve.And even though they didn’t like it much, Amber and Leo gave him a bit of breathing room to attempt it. Leo stood waiting in the wings of the room to intervene if things went bad. Amber was too nervous and had to force herself into a task to keep from hovering and cringing while it occurred. A fall wouldn’t feel good and could hurt his already fractured bones more. But she had to trust Grayson enough to let him try, to know his own body, his own limitations, and make his own decisions. Within fucking reason of cours

Leo laughed uncomfortably, but Ash’s laugh was filled with merriment. He was not offended in the least.“As I said before, there’s plenty of me to go around. But I’m just friends with everyone in this room.”“For now, at least,” said Ebony boldly, “don’t you two have somewhere to fucking be?”“Yes, we do. And we need to get a move on it before were late. Especially if we hit traffic. Amber give Ebony the list of instructions you made so we can hit the road.”Amber eyed Ebony and then Ash. There was definitely an attraction and sexual chemistry going on there. She was likely to return with Grayson bitching about having to watch his caregivers hook up while they both neglected their duties. She’d never hear the fucking end of that.“Yeah, I’m not so sure this is such a good Idea,” she argued.Ebony huffed, “We'll be just fucking fine here without you.”“At least come meet Grayson before we leave.”“I’ll go start the car Love. Meet me in five or we will be late. Ash, Ebony take care. And
The Endgame (book 4 of The Arrangement Series) Chapter 27- Girls Like Us
Leo and Lucinda had really outdone themselves as Amber stepped inside the storybook themed baby shower. No doubt they’d drawn inspiration from the picturesque setting the cottage was nestled in. The pinnacle of the room was a long, rough wooden table with toadstool shaped chairs seated around it. Like a forest fairy feast, complete with flower garlands on the place settings that guests could wear around their heads, and strands of twinkling lights floating down from the ceiling like magic.“Leo, this is absolutely stunning!”“I’m glad you like it, Love.”“Thank you so much babe. It’s more beautiful than I could have ever imagined.”“You’re welcome, Love.”Everywhere Amber looked a new, sweet detail caught her eye. Like the garlands of flowers strung across the back wall with a row of miniature princess gowns pinned across it, each more beautiful than the last. The room was covered in flowers almost as if they’d never come in from the garden at all. Behind the food table looked like a

Lucinda made an announcement it was time to eat. As the guest of honor, Amberleigh was moved to the front of the line. She was pretty sure Rashida didn’t approve of the mound of food Amber piled on her plate gleefully.While the girls stuffed their faces, the embarrassing chatter had abated enough that Julian felt safe to return to the table. Ella and Harper had mostly sweets on their plates, but Julian explained he let them cut loose a bit on the weekends. Amber countered that it was her cousin’s own doom with two sugar high little girls unlikely to sleep that night. He said it was something she had to look forward to.Amber and Julian took a trip down memory lane while they feasted on mini sandwiches resembling trees, trail mix, cookies shaped like acorns, and other foods keeping with the fairy forest princess theme. Leo soaked up these stories eagerly. The chef was also feeling a bit devious as he snuck in naughty and discrete touches to Amber under the table. When she would flash
The Endgame (book 4 of The Arrangement Series) Chapter 29- One small victory in the war on heartless, fake cunts
For a while, Amberleigh indulged Courtney’s fantasy that they were the best of friends, even posing for several photos with the heiress. Leo gave her wide eyed looks, and when she pulled her lover in for a photo, he whispered in her ear.“I hope you know what you’re doing, Love.”She kissed his cheek as the photographer snapped a picture of the happy parents-to- be in front of the moss-covered tree.“Of course, I have a plan.”He grinned at her, though she didn’t let him in on it. The photographer named Ansel, staged Amber on the swing, looking down at her belly with hands atop it, as Leo stood behind the swing pushing it. Amber took great satisfaction by the scowl on the cunt’s face when Ansel was no longer making her the center of attention. Like hell would the social media queen be upstaged at the shower she crashed. She steered Ansel back in her direction by posing herself in front of the wagon of baby gifts she’d brought. Amber snorted and rolled her eyes.But it was several mome
The Endgame (book 4 of The Arrangement Series) Chapter 30- Let The Game Begin
The rest of Amberleigh’s baby shower ran smoothly. Rashida had gotten a new target for her snide comments, now directing them at the woman who upset her grandson. It became open season on gossip about Courtney and many in the cottage were up for participating.Kira had captured nearly all of the altercation on the bridge on her smartwatch, as she’d been taking pictures beforehand. She'd turned it in the direction of the footbridge at the sound of the high-pitched “diva Karen scream", as she dubbed it. Kira had soon uploaded it under one of her accounts on the net. All they had to do was wait as the internet was a beast that no one could slay.Amber found room for another piece of cake, a proper sized one this time. Fadeswa didn’t go into labor but was crowned the victor of the scavenger hunt. The jar of body lotion she won was sure to come in handy for her, though she couldn’t really reach her feet yet. Amber couldn’t picture Pierre Clemonte as the type to rub his wife’s swollen feet,
