The Proposal (Book 3 of The Arrangement series) Chapter 66- Content
Amberleigh barely made it through the front door when she ran into Grayson with his hands on his hips in the foyer. The man was wearing a fucking blazer on a day his ass wasn’t even going to work for fuck sake. He was lucky he wasn’t wearing a tie or she might have strangled him with it. The billionaire was also lucky she was holding food.“Where the hell have you been? You’ve been gone for four hours! And you didn’t reply to my last text that I sent you an hour ago!”She breathed deep and set the takeout food on the stand near the door. This could get ugly and no reason to risk the steak.“Okay, you can put the brakes on your testosterone train and back the fuck up Grayson. I can manage on my own for a few hours without you. This alpha male overprotective bullshit needs to stop.”He scoffed, “Need I remind you it’s not exactly safe for any of us, especially you, to go on leisure strolls through the city right now Amber. I agreed to let you go the Cobra Club not…is that smoke I smell?
The Proposal (Book 3 of The Arrangement series) Chapter 67-Oh, This Was Just Great!
New Year’s Eve definitely started out as a low-key affair. Amberleigh opened her eyes to the smell of bacon and the sight of Grayson crashed on the couch across from her. Leo was missing but it wasn’t hard to find him as she followed the delicious aroma to the kitchen. Her chef was whistling a merry tune, decked out in his chef gear, while he flipped a pancake expertly. She cleared her throat and crossed her arms.“Babe, you really shouldn’t be up doing that. I love you for it and appreciate it, but you really should leave it to me.”Leo flashed her that grin of his which made it impossible to stay mad at him. Bastard knew just how to use it against her.“I didn’t want to wake you. You looked so adorable like a drooling angel. Besides I feel great Love. Breakfast is almost done anyway. Order up!”He slid a plate of pancakes across the island towards her. It looked so good Amber really did drool a little.“Are you trying to butter me up Leo? Bribe me with your culinary confections?”He
The Proposal (Book 3 of The Arrangement series) Chapter 68- Unwelcomed Guests
But surely his parents would like stay in the den or something.Grayson opened the door to his parents. Amber had only met them once, and that was more than enough for her when it came to his father at least. Of course, now knowing that the Godwin patriarch was suffering from a debilitating and fatal brain disease softened her up some towards the man. But there was nothing soft about the hard, frowning lines of Cole Godwin's face. The railroad tycoon was dressed in a dark suit, his grey hair combed neatly and disciplined into place. He had a black cane in one hand and his wife’s arm in the other. His face was smooth shaven, his features broad and strong, but he was a handsome man. Amber saw Grayson in the shape of his jaw, but even Grayson’s had never been so clenched tightly.Cole Godwin’s dark eyes quickly took everything. Judging and assessing. Amber immediately felt about three inches tall. But his eyes made a disapproving sweep of her before they focused back on his son.Viola Go
The Proposal (Book 3 of The Arrangement series) Chapter 69- Electronic Detox
Amberleigh lingered in the kitchen a bit to chat with Viola before she excused herself to allow Grayson some private time with his parents. Back in Leo’s room, she decided to make good use of her time. She began the process of researching drug trials and other experimental treatments for Huntington’s. Unfortunately, with the world's focus on finding the cure for the infection which had led to the need for walled cities and a dramatic population reduction, her search didn’t generate a lot of hits. And many didn’t seem all that promising out of the results.Amber wasn’t anti-natural or anti-cultural remedies or anything, but she didn’t believe dousing Grayson with essential oils or cow urine was the answer. And some of these trials looked shady as hell. The LEDA corporation was recruiting participants for their new drug for dementia. Though the trial wasn’t specifically designed for those with Huntington’s disease, the disease still caused dementia in its sufferers.But Amber didn’t tru
The Proposal (Book 3 of The Arrangement series) Chapter 70- Happy Fucking New Year!
“I’m going to get in the sauna,” said Grayson.“Don’t be lifting weights Grayson. Your ribs aren’t healed yet,” advised Leo.“I won’t overdo it. I know my limits.”“Yeah I’m fucking coming with you. I don’t trust your ass,” said Leo.“And you shouldn’t be hitting the gym right now Leo. Or the sauna.”The boys headed towards the gym. Amber followed them. No, her heart wasn’t pounding and a million grizzly scenarios likely to occur because she hadn’t answered her texts weren’t running through her fucking head.“What the fuck do we do now? What am I supposed to do?” said Amber.Leo chuckled, “You could work on knitting the baby that sweater you’ve been talking about.”He gave her a kiss on the cheek.“Or you could practice your guitar you liked to torture Mr. Duvall with. I put it in the utility room for safe keeping,” informed Grayson.Amber smirked at him. Subjecting a living being to her guitar playing could hardly be classified as torture. But she could do with some alone time. She d
The Proposal (Book 3 of The Arrangement series) Chapter 71- The Cunt Is Back In Town
They say all good things must come to a fucking end, and that is exactly what happened when Grayson’s cunt wife returned four days into the new year. Sure, it hadn’t all been puppies and rainbows as Amber, Leo, and Grayson had fallen into a rhythm of being around each other nearly 24/7. Amber had felt like both the boy's fucking keepers between trying to make sure Grayson ate and slept and trying to keep Leo from doing all the projects he suddenly decided needed to be done during his recovery. Like when she caught him reorganizing the pantry one morning, moving heavy bags of flour and shit or the night she caught his ass in the gym about to get on the fucking stair climber!It had been three days into the new year that Leo had given Amber the scare of her fucking life. She’d helped Grayson cover his bruises with some foundation so he could make a run to his office to check in and get some documents. While he was out, Amber had hung Leo’s infusion and noticed blood on his shirt. She ch
The Proposal (Book 3 of The Arrangement series) Chapter 72- Priorities
The music wasn’t the only thing that died when Courtney came back to the penthouse, so did the fucking mood. Leo was no longer so cheerful or upbeat. Grayson became more sullen and distant. The billionaire started to fall back into old habits of working long hours and then shutting himself alone in his room at night. Only this time around, he also developed a habit of sequestering himself for hours in the panic room when he thought everyone was asleep. Amber knew he was shutting them all out again. And she didn’t like it one fucking bit. It hurt, especially after all they’d been through together. Grayson was trying to build his walls too high for her to climb. And even when he was home, he wasn’t present. His mind focused on his work or elsewhere. Hell the man had even returned to work earlier than he initially planned and Amber was convinced it wasn’t just to get away from his cunt wife. She got the feeling he was also avoiding her as well. After a solid week of his anti-social, work
The Proposal (Book 3 of The Arrangement series) Chapter 73- Credit Where Credit Was Due
Amberleigh had to give credit where credit was due. Grayson still did take time out of his busy schedule to take Leo back to Docs when it was time for his staples to be removed. Grayson also got regular reports from the home health nurse Jamar. But he was certainly no longer as hands on anymore.At least Grayson skipped out of work early one afternoon to take Leo to meet his brother Pierre. Neither Grayson nor Amber wanted Leo going anywhere alone or overdoing it, especially after he had dislodged one of his staples. Leo also didn’t want his brother to come to the penthouse to pay him back. Grayson chaperoned Leo and didn’t allow his friend to climb up the stairs. The billionaire also made sure the brothers played nice.But it was clear Grayson was stretched thin. Trying to juggle too much. Amber kept trying to talk some sense into his thick head, but her words often seemed in vain. While he did stop spending as much time in the panic room going over camera footage, she still caught h
