Engagement

Unknown pov

It was the day of Edward's engagement party, everyone eyed Angela with distaste and hatred but none could do anything about it when the woman in question roamed around the lawn of Raines Mansion flashing her engagement ring which she brought it herself *eye rolls*. Eddie stood beside her with a fake smile and his broken soul but determined to protect the love of his life and his precious child. Beth mentally threw daggers her way while Sam drank in anger trying to finish all the champagne existed in the party while Jay and Dan sat with their face resting on their palms. Emily joined the table fuming towards Jay and Dan, "What are you both frowning for? You are not dealing with her wrath while we girls are practically forced in to this fake enchilada." Sam set her glass down and at the same time a waiter handed her another glass of champagne and chuckled, "I paid this guy 100 bucks to make sure I have a drink in my hand all the time! I swear that woman is a real pain in my ass." Jay sighed, his PI hasn't even gathered any proofs against her. Every member of the Raines staff also despised that evil woman for snatching a father away from his child and how they wished for his baby mommy could come back and make him happy again. Katherine and Patrick had no other option but to welcome the woman as their daughter-in-law whereas Emily was determined to make her life living hell but was only holding back herself back for her lovely niece. I am not sure if I did right by supporting this evil woman after all I might have something to do with Vivienne Sinclair's death, when Kayleigh first walked in, I believed this cunning woman was after Eddie for his money but I was proved wrong when I saw the tabloids and found out that she is the famous Leigh's heiress who had abandoned her throne just to stay out of media. I want to help Eddie get her woman and child back, but right now I can't blow off my cover as I don't have any proof against her. She has buried her skeletons somewhere deep and dark.

Jake's pov

I don't know if I am smart or dumb to support my daughter face that demon on her own but I would do the same if my family was at stake. To my surprise she was taking this whole blowing off the cover part way better than I did when I initially heard about it from Eddie. Rather than letting her anger get the best of her, she is manifesting her energy in to developing a better plan to uncover her secrets and send her behind the bars. I watch as she sat across me preparing a list of loyal employees whom she can take with her to the NewYork office. The office shall be ready in two weeks so we have two weeks to prepare her to face that woman. I couldn't be more proud of her today, she hired Undercover FBI agents as her bodyguard and Haley's nanny. Whether I would have supported her or not she would have done it anyway so Diana and I have decided to be onboard with her, she made me promise her to not let Eddie or Jay know anything about this until she reaches New York or else he wouldn't let her do any of it. I am praying to god to give her strength and not let anyone hurt my little girl. Diana watched us from the doorway, I walked towards her to know what she was thinking. She spoke furiously, "I am telling you Jake, let me meet this girl. Give me half an hour with her and I will knock some sense in her brain." I sighed thinking how to explain my stubborn wife, "That won't help honey, that woman is more dangerous than we think!" Her eyes welled up, she dragged me by the door to watch her, "Our little girl grew up so quickly, It was just yesterday when our little girl would come home sad and we would protect her from those bullies in her school and now she is leading a war just to get her daughter what she deserves 'A father, A family'! I wish she would stay as our child and we could protect her from everything." I didn't realise tears were falling from my eyes until Diana wiped it as I assured her, "Our angel is stronger then we think, we need to stay strong and stand by her side." I watched Leigh preparing herself to take over the company and preparing herself to face that woman and Eddie. She took anger management class, self defence training in the house while we spent our time with our grand daughter. My worries were increasing with every passing day. My PI was really trying to dig hard but couldn't find anything, FBI has opened the case of Vivienne Sinclair's death and are also trying to dig up dirt but till now they aren't able to track down the car which hit her. The files said that they tried to find the car who hit her but after investigating for two months they couldn't find anything hence the case was closed as an accident case. We were informed about Sophia's arrival, she is playing as Spanish woman who works as a Nanny and has moved to States 3 years ago. Sophia's real name is Gloria and she went to school with Kayleigh but no one knows about it because after joining FBI, all her data has been erased so there is no way any one can find out her identity. Peter Bowie, an undercover agent will act as Leigh's private secretary and Nicholas McMillan, son of my friend has left his agency to just protect Leigh and also lead all the guards which are been assigned by him. If only I could go with my daughter and be a part of her army but she has held me back here in Los Angeles
