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

"She's a worker bee, it's even in the name" She confided to Sam who laughed uncontrollably.


Keira folded her arms in a blue jacket, grey turtleneck, double-layered in long johns and denim, with ear mufflers.


"Kara, oh hi!" She spotted Logan headed her way in his black coat and a scarf insulating his nose. 


Something brewed inside her and she did not like what she was feeling.


She wondered why she even subscribed to this idea.


Megan clutched his arms wearing just about the same outfit as Keira, turtleneck, and everything only black.


Amy pointed while Sam patted her shoulder "Who invited her?"


"I did" Melissa winked and she growled.


Keira grimaced pointing behind her "I gotta go"


Sam winced at that pulling her back "No" She resisted


"I've got stuff to do..sorry" She mouthed to Sam and walked away promptly.


She huffed breaking into a run ignoring his voice, she rushed to the car and drove off. She glanced at the side-view mirror, he was beside a car looking after her with a startled gaze.

She slammed the door to the car and paced to the apartment building walking up the stairs, she nodded at the doorman and glanced at a woman with luggage beside her,  she tilted her head at the lady clutching a papoose.


Jennifer looked up, her expression was empty, it felt like she was looking through her and not at her. 


She helped Jenny with her luggage up the steps watching her face, Jenny looked like she had seen a ghost and she turned the handle of the door.

"Have you eaten?" That was all she could come up with and Jenny nodded, a sob escaped her like a hiccup and she covered her mouth, Keira enfolded her shoulders, Jenny inclined to her side as tears spilled.


She wore two different pairs of socks, she may have packed the wrong pile of clothes too, she hadn't seen Jenny so disheveled in a long time since she gained weight from conceiving Darby.


"The funny thing is I was having a BLT sandwich when_" She hiccuped again sobbing uncontrollably, Darby was still asleep, Keira helped her take him off to put in the cot.


Keira shook Jenny scared for her "It's going to be fine"


"Oh god_don't let anything happen to him" She faltered.


Jenny sniffed, it took her a few minutes to gain control over her emotions, flustered, she nodded when Keira offered her a box of tissues.


"Thank you. I'm taking off to Seattle." She seemed calm but her voice betrayed her. "My mother in law called, she never calls unless she wants me to take Darby to her place and_" She hiccuped
