He grinned at her false bravado, her green eyes flickered and the golden shades of it were more intense, he saw determination, which he could use to his advantage.

"Unless you wish to buy it back, it's worth over a million dollars"

Keira hesitated, where was she going to find a million dollars? With Sam's college fund and their welfare, those were out of the question. Their trust fund obtained from their deceased parents had been kept for emergencies only, it wasn't even close to half a million.

His grey eyes mocked her with a sardonic smile that left her stomach in knots. This was the most inconvenient time to think about how overpowering his steely eyes were or the fact that he was a very gorgeous and fascinating specimen.

"I have a proposal for you, that could turn this around."

The CEO's Meticulous Bride

 Taking a bulb "You'll need an extra hand"


"Yes" Sam bobbed her head and her hair kicked out. "The tree's cramped in the closet with a few other things, we could some muscle"


"Alright," he murmured taking off his gloves, following her. He sized up the tree for any possible foothold to pull without snapping it in half.


"Over here" Sam pointed at the end of the tree", holding the door open He grabbed the tree and pulled it out easily, it was a synthetic tree, and the seams of the tree were falling off.


Sam got to hanging the lights around the walls and a few Santa Claus stickers in the kitchen. 


Harry helped Keira with a bulb and she beamed at him. 


Music blared through the radio, a choir sang


🎶Deck the halls with mounds of holly 


      Fah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah 


     Fah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah...🎶


They gazed at her in shock as the music blared and Sam switched off the music.


Logan rubbed his forehead and murmured "oh boy" while Harry flinched at the sound.


He crouched hanging an angel ornament on the tree, it smelled like cinnamon.


  He didn't remember the last time he decorated a tree, the ones in California were delivered to his office completely, the smells brought back memories from 81 where his family would decorate and Amy would put the star on top.


He looked up and caught the star falling, Keira's eyes narrowed from where she stood.


"I can't reach it" She murmured, her lips thinning and normalizing till they became glossier, he passed her the star and she took it.


He encircled her waist and she put her hands on top of his arms, alarmed.


He hoisted her up, she gasped, and then blinked at the precipice of the tree and put the star on top.


"Okay, put me down now" She warned for fear of falling. Steadily, he lowered her and she withdrew eyeing him when he grinned about what she said.


"Sam smiled "Looks perfect," She said but the tree was far from her mind staring at the both of them.


Keira brushed both sides of her hair from her face. "Uh....yeah"


"Keira, would you do the_oh heck" She waved her hand and plugged the cables and the room was full of life and light, she smiled at the results?


"We did it" Logan murmured and sat back.


"I think we deserve a big break with cookies huh?" Sam clapped feigning an Italian accent moving to the kitchen cabinets.


Keira collapsed beside him exhausted from all the work, his hand slung over on the chair.


"Sleep well?" He asked Keira recalled her dream 


"Not entirely and I'd like to state the fact that it's none of your business" She retorted.


She frowned and Sam passed them a plate of cookies, mostly mint cookies and chocolate chip. He reached in to grab two and munched on them.


"So do you want to explain how you got my address...?"
