Carey stood looking at Andrea as Milana excused herself. The door closed and Andrea walked deeper into the office. Carey crossed her arms over her chest as Andrea looked everywhere except at her so she decided to wait it out.“I’m not here to make any trouble, Carey.”“Why are you here, Andrea?”She fidgeted with her hands and finally sat down in a chair across from Carey. “I wanted to meet Grace and explain things to Mason.”“So explain it to me too, Andrea, because the way I see it is that a woman who abandoned her baby is now back to claim a daughter she had no hand in raising.”“A lot of bad things happened back then. I left Grace with her father because I wasn’t in a position to look after her. I don’t know how much you know of what they’re all busy with, the playhouses and the forced marriages …”“What playhouses?”“I think you should talk to Mason … or Kelley.”“Where are you staying, Andrea?”Andrea looked down and Carey knew the answer before she even said it. “With Mason.”“

Kelley looked at the email and read it again. Why was he reaching out after three years? The police investigation had grown cold because there had been no evidence to corroborate Petey Johnson’s version of events.People had seen Kelley at the nightclub and his phone had pinged from the towers across the street. His car hadn’t left St. John’s City and Kelley knew that it had been closed as accidental, Petey’s license revoked and him being left paralyzed from the waist down.It had been a good day. Kelley smiled at the memory. Petey wanted to meet, that night in fact, at his house in Yorkdare Bay. The Johnson’s still lived in town and Petey now ran the online division of his father’s marketing company.Kelley typed a quick reply and hit send. He’d see Petey tonight. In fact, he was intrigued by Petey’s invitation but not dumb enough to think that Petey didn’t have ulterior motives. This week was turning out to be a good one for Kelley.On Wednesday JenCorp would sink and Hanson Chadney

Mason sat in his car in the dark garage. He was beyond pissed off. Did Marcus and Andrea have a history he didn’t know about? He couldn’t be referencing The Club because Andrea had been sold, she hadn’t been taken to their inner circle of perverts.Mason finally got out of his car and unlocked the front door. Andrea was in the living room and she turned to look at him where Grace lay on her lap, asleep. “You okay, Mase?”“I’ll take her up.”“Mason …”Mason shook his head and Andrea closed her mouth. He picked Grace up and carried her to her bedroom. He kissed her on her forehead and tucked the covers over her. He exhaled a shaky breath as he walked back downstairs to the living room.“Let’s take this to the kitchen.”Andrea stood up and followed Mason to the kitchen, where they could close the door and there were less chance of Grace hearing them. Mason opened a cupboard, took out the bottle of scotch and two glasses.“What’s going on?”“Did you ever sleep with Marcus Holt?”Andrea’s

Lee unlocked the front door with his key and stepped inside the house. Raised voices came from the kitchen and he headed in that direction. His heart was hammering in his chest and he couldn’t for the life of him think how Mason was feeling.“You called Lee!” Andrea’s voice was loud as he stepped into the room.“Miss Christie, I’ll advise you that anything you say from this point onwards will be recorded and used against you in any capacity we see fit.”“I can’t believe you, Mason!”“What did you expect me to do? He wants a paternity test and the only reason he’s asking for one is because you gave him the idea that Grace was his!”Lee carried on as if they hadn’t said anything at all. “You retained custody of Grace James for exactly six days since her birth after which point you abandoned her on the doorstep of Carey James’s residence. Your letter claimed that Mason James was the biological father of the baby. Since my client never denied having sexual intercourse with you during that

‘Good morning Yorkdare Bay. We’ve just received an exclusive tip from sources close to JenCorp. Last night as markets opened on the Eastern Islands, the market came to a standstill with the crash of JenCorp’s shares. Authorities believe that insider trading and embezzlement of funds are to blame for JenCorp’s sudden death. The shares have plummeted and are currently worth less than JenCorp’s business cards. We’ve been told that the police are investigating a silent partner, Hanson Chadney, who was arrested early this morning.’Kelley switched the television off and smiled as his phone started pinging. Milana sat next to him, her eyes wide as she turned to look at him.“Why do you look so happy?”“Because Hanson Chadney is finally getting exactly what he deserves.”Milana rose to her knees and straddled Kelley as he rested against the headboard. His hands went to her hips and he pulled her closer to him. “I overheard your conversation with Mason last night.”“Hmm eavesdropping now, are

For the next week it was quiet. Mason had taken Grace for the paternity test as per the court order. He was informed that the results would be ready within five days and he received a summons to appear in court on the following Tuesday where the results would be shared and a determination would be made.Lee stood in the kitchen with Kelley while Mason was upstairs with Grace, getting her ready for her bath. Lee took the envelope from the inner pocket of his jacket and handed it to Kelley. Kelley looked up at Lee after reading it.“Shit, Lee.”“I know.”Kelley’s fist slammed down on the marble countertop as he briefly closed his eyes. “Have Blain been able to locate Andrea?”“No. He says it’s like she vanished into thin air after leaving Mason’s house.”“Are we sure he didn’t kill her and bury her in the back yard?”Lee huffed out a laugh. “I was here when she left.”“Doesn’t say much, big guy.”“Screw you, Alexander, at least I didn’t buy a wife.”Kelley grinned. “No, you just can’t g

The court room was suspiciously empty as Kelley and Milana sat down in the cordoned off area behind the desk where Mason sat with Lee and another woman. The woman, Hailey Michaelson, had met with Mason the previous day and discussed the case at length.“Why isn’t Andrea here?” Milana whispered to Kelley.He looked around the court room and noticed that Marcus Holt and his three attorneys were there, none of his other cronies had arrived yet and Andrea was a no show. Her absence didn’t sit well with Kelley and now he was sure something had happened to her.An officer stepped through a door and stood in the middle of the room right in front of the raised dais where the judge would sit. “All rise.”They all stood up and Kelley looked at the judge as he walked in. One of Marcus’s lawyer’s nodded his head at the judge and Kelley knew that Mason had already lost, no matter how good Hailey’s arguments were.“Holt versus James case 459/5 presided over by Judge Donald McPherson.”“Good morning
Yorkdare Bay: The Elites Part Fifty-Six
Mason sat on the bottom stair and stared out at nothing. The house was quiet and dark. Carey had been sedated after John took her home. She’d been beside herself with grief. Mason himself didn’t feel anything except numb.Grace’s cries still rang in his ears and Kelley had left an hour ago, too afraid to leave him alone. The numbness was spreading through his entire body and seeping into his soul. Grace was his whole life, the reason he got up in the mornings, she was his heart beat.Mason cocked his head to the side as he heard a car pull up in the street, a car door closed and then another and he shook his head. He didn’t want to see anyone and he had a pretty good idea that it was Kelley that had come back, probably with Connor or Lee.A gruff curse and then his doorbell rang. Mason looked at the door, not wanting to open it. A loud bang on the door. “Mason!” It wasn’t Kelley or Lee, they had keys and they wouldn’t knock. This was a voice he knew but couldn’t place immediately.Mas
