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

   "You know Ben always said he had a dream of becoming an air marshall in this fancy airline in Denmark?"


They had their differences and the relationship had its rocky start, it eventually had its downslide when he accepted the offer and he was going to risk the strength of their relationship.


"He had an accident" Her voice cracked.


"His rental car took a sharp turn and he tried to stop it but it smashed into the side of a ramp. He's in the hospital in a medically-induced coma"


She sniffed "I don't want Darby to see him in that condition. Zoe's already there."


Keira took her hand "I'll take care of him as best as I can"


"I assumed you would be at the store but..." She laughed with tears glimmering in her eyes, tears spilled.


"There's a first time for everything I guess"


"You should wait till tomorrow" Keira proposed, Jenny sighed after much consideration and laid back down, Keira tucked her in with a blanket.


"Thank you," She said smiling as best as she could. Darby whimpered.


"Oh and Keira?" She called while Keira rubbed Darby's belly while he dozed.


"I love what you're doing with the place," She said before dozing off to sleep. Keira thought of that for a moment.


"Thank you" She answered back to the quiet.


 Sam marched to the house with her gear, her big sister outdid herself jettisoning them like that, she walked up the stairs, greeting the doorman then reached her apartment, surprised at the crocs that rested on their rug, she walked in to find Keira clutching Darby, he was asleep in white footies and a cap with his mouth open.


"Hey," She said quietly and Keira nodded.


There was a bowl of ginseng on the table and a cellphone. Jenny sniffed rolling over.


Sam reached in to pick up the phone with web cracks on it, her bag was on the floor, so was his kit


Sam was perplexed by the news, she dropped her kit and positioned Jenny's stuff in a safe place.


"How was your..." She cleared her throat "...skiing?"


Jenny change into better clothes with her bag, giving Darby one last pat, she took her scarf and moved to the door.


Jenny hurried out the door and clicked the door shut.


 Keira checked her website, it was way behind by a week and she was getting complaints about her shop being shut down.


  She rubbed the bridge of her nose while he patted her hands and the desk with a runny nose, she wiped them dry, he noticed his mother's absence and cried often.


Her phone rang, she answered while Darby pulled at her hair.


"Don't cut the phone." She heard a tinge of uncertainty in his voice.


"Maybe I need to be a little more discreet," He said calmly.
