Fate Stepped In Chapter 26: Family is Everything, a scandal fanfic

Edison got on the plane not really understanding that the hammer was coming down on him, and he had little chance for recovery.

They boarded the private plane, and his attorney tried to talk to him. Tried to tell him that they needed to come up with a plan. Olivia Grant was not someone you wanted to play with.

Edison looked up, "She might be a beautiful and smart woman, but Vermont and California are two different playgrounds. We will be fine."

Five and a half ours later they were back in California. Edison looked out the window, and noticed a lot more photographers, paparazzi, and media than normal. He chalked it up to his upcoming projects.

He quickly found out how wrong he was. When he stepped out of the plane they were asking him about the lawsuit that he was served with in front of everyone. They asked him did he molest the girl.

His security team quickly got them into the limo. As soon as they got in the car his lawyer turned his phone back on, and powered his computer up.

He became pale as he read the headlines, and handed it over to Edison to review.

BREAKING NEWS: FAMED ATTORNEY AND CRISIS MANAGER OLIVIA GRANT HAS FILED A TWENTY MILLION DOLLAR LAWSUIT ON BEHALF OF HER CLIENT WHO STATES THAT COMEDIAN, ACTOR, AND PRODUCER EDISON DAVIS DRUGGED HER CLIENT, AND TOOK ADVANTAGE OF HER.

BREAKING NEWS: WE HAVE RECEIVED A TAPE THAT SHOWS EDISON DAVIS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF ANOTHER WOMAN, AND CONFIRMS THAT HE ACTED INAPPROPRIATELY WITH HER FRIENDS.

BREAKING NEWS: POLICE CONFIRMED THAT THEY ARE INVESTIGATING THE CLAIMS AGAINST EDISON DAVIS, AND CHARGES COULD BE FILED.

Edison felt like he was going to be sick to his stomach. How did she work so fast? Could this really hold up?

Deep down something told him that things were bad, and they were only going to get worse. He had read about Olivia Grant. He prayed she messed up somewhere like the others that had come after him.

Back in Vermont Olivia was working from home. She had been on the phone with the officers in California.

She explained to them that her client was on a much needed vacation with her family, but she was happy to set up a video conference. Once she returned if they needed to speak to her again she would fly out with her.

The detective asked, "Mrs. Grant she is not the suspect. You do realize that right?"

"I do, but as a fixer I know how men like Edison Davis work. While you seem like you are on the up and up I know that in order for him to have gotten away with it for this long is because he has connections. Some of your co-workers support him, and I can't chance my client being in the wrong hands. So it is not personal."

"When you put it that way I respect your decision. You are right I'm not in his pocket, but like you I'm not naive, and neither is my boss which is why so few hands are in the pot."

"That is good to know, and thank you for understanding where I'm coming from. I believe you. My gut tells me you will do right by her, but she is still fragile. I promised to be there with her every step of the way, and I always keep my promises."

"That is fine Mrs. Grant. I know you don't want to tip your hand, because of the lawsuit but I want Edison to go down. I know you have top investigators working for you. If we make an appeal I'm not so sure the girls will trust us. So my boss was wondering if you could help us?"

"Consider it handled. I will do two interviews, and encourage the girls to come forward. My husband has some friends in California. We could make it a class action lawsuit. Take him all the way down."

The detective laughed

"What's so funny detective?"

"I'm not laughing at you. I just realized how scary you really are. I would never want to cross you."

She laughed, "My husband says the same thing."

"Lucky man."

"No I am the lucky one."

"Well thank you again Mrs. Grant. My wife will get a kick out knowing I talked to you. She was a paralegal, but went back to school to become a lawyer. She talks about your cases a lot."

"Well I have to come back to California at some point. I would love to meet her."

"She would love that."

After talking a few more minutes they ended their call. Olivia called Quinn to discuss what she needed, and to make some calls to get the two interviews set up.

Olivia wasn't sure how long she was working before Lily came in with her some lunch. She looked up and smiled, "Hi Nana"

"Hi baby. I know you are busy so I brought you some lunch."

"Thanks Nana"

"I should be thanking you. I talked with Yvonne and Kelly. They told me what you said."

"I meant every word."

"I know you did honey. Still it means everything to me. Yvonne is going to be okay because of you. Yes financially but emotionally she is in a far better place, because of your love and support."

"Well that is what families are for?"

"You are right which is why your husband called me. He told me to tell you he would handle dinner tonight. He knows it is your turn, but he wanted you to focus on the case. I've got the boys since Barron and your dad are gone on a fishing trip. Besides with the girls being gone with their god sisters it is not so bad."

"Sounds good Nana."

The next couple of weeks were busy for Olivia, but it was necessary so she could enjoy her vacation with her family.

They had decided to let the girls decide where they were going on vacation this year. So they picked a couple of places, and the girls decided on St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands.

Olivia had told Fitz some things she wanted to do as a couple and a family, and he booked everything so she could concentrate on the case.

Olivia's interviews were a success. More girls did come forward. After talking with the girls Olivia convinced the detective to hold off on going after Edison criminally. He was confused.

She looked at him, "Right now any good attorney could try and rip these girls apart, and will succeed with some of them because of their emotional state. There is very little physical evidence. Our best chance is Edison."

"How do you plan on getting to him?"

"The lawsuit"

"My husband's friend has agreed to help me. We are going to bring a class-action suit against Edison. That means he will be forced to testify under oath during depositions. I guarantee you he is going to give us something to use. Especially because he will feel like the criminal charges are not looming. Since it is the girls against him he is going to feel confident and cocky. Trust me."

He nodded, "I do. You are right. Patience is the key here. I don't want him to get off or get little time."

"Exactly. I want both, and I will get both."

"That I believe."

They filed the lawsuit with the additional girls. Yvonne & Nia had spoken with the detective in person.

Olivia had met with her husband's friend Jacob Shaw. They had come up with a game plan, before she headed back to Vermont.

Now she was on the jet with her family. She was on the couch relaxing. She looked up at her husband who was entertaining all four kids.

She didn't know who was happier him or the kids. Lily, Barron, their dad, and Marta were playing a card game. Family that she thought she would never have. They didn't replace her biological family, but she was blessed that she was no longer alone.

Almost ten hours later they arrived. It was the boys first flight, and they were surprised by how well they did.

The take off wasn't too fun for them, but once they got in the air the boys were fine. Being in a jet that felt like a home in the air probably helped.

They were taken to The Buccaneer resort where they would be staying. They got checked in before being escorted to their beach house.

When Olivia saw it she smiled for a lot of reasons. The first being the set up. The six bedroom enclave was surrounded by sea and gardens. What was even better was there was a main house, two cottages, and a villa style master suite.

Fitz looked at his wife, and knew she approved. Just because it was a family vacation didn't mean he didn't want some privacy with his wife. Especially when the kids were with their grandparents. One cottage had two bedrooms which Lily & Baron would be in. Big Jerry & Marta would take the one bedroom cottage.

Everyone got settled in. Fitz went around the villa, and made it safe for the Caleb & Cameron to play.

They would be eight months old at the end of the week, and they were in to everything. He loved it.

They were crawling, and he felt they would be walking soon. They loved to babble especially to each other, and it was so cute because it was like they understood each other. When you called their names they responded, and got mad when you told them no.

Olivia would always say she was glad they were like him. She said that because they were laid back. They rarely fussed. Now they only cried when they were hungry, needed to be changed, or didn't feel good.

Everyone relaxed for the rest of the day.

The next morning they were up and at them. They were headed to the beach. It would be the first time for the twins, and Olivia was excited.

She put on their TF Lawrence aqua/white color block swim truck on with matching hats. She had took a couple of pictures, and put them in their play pen.

Fitz was with the girls who decided to also match. They were in a one-piece aqua/white polka dot ruffle swimsuit with a white cover-up.

Once they were ready they headed into the living room so their grandparents could put some sunscreen on them.

Fitz went to go check on Olivia. He walked into their suite and stopped. She looked up at him, and blushed.

Olivia had lost most of the weight from when she was pregnant. She kept about ten pounds on purpose, and Fitz loved it.

She was wearing a Norma Kamali Cross Halter Swimsuit.

She blushed, "Bad choice?"

"Perfect choice baby."

"You are just saying that to get some tonight."

"No I am saying that because it is the truth. I loved you body before, and I love it even more now. Every time we make love I know you were the site of a miracle. Considering everything you have been through it doesn't get much better than that."

They were days away from celebrating their two year anniversary, and she loved him more and more each day. She knew when he said things like he just did that he meant them. He had never been one to mince words.

She went over to him and kissed him, "I am a miracle because I have you by my side. I am fearless with you by my side."

"Ditto sweet baby"

The family had a great day at the beach. The boys loved the water. Olivia had hired a swim instructor who worked with babies and toddlers to get the boys use to the water.

Caleb wasn't having it at first, but he came around, and now he cried when you took him out of the water.

They took a ton of pictures and posted some on their private Facebook accounts so that their friends could see the boys first trip to the beach.

It was a perfect family day. The next couple of days were designated for Fitz, Olivia, and the kids. They did a crab race and a family treasure hunt that the girls would not stop talking about. They had to admit it was a neat experience to do as a family.

The girls were really athletic, and they let them try anything to see if it was something they would like. Fitz played beach side basketball with them which they seemed to enjoy.

They wanted them to experience different things so one night they took them to a restaurant they required them to wear something nice.

Fitz knew that when the boys got older they may not enjoy this as much as they girls, but it was a part of life. They wouldn't force their children to attend business dinner parties, but when they hosted dinners they wanted the children to have manners.

It was the morning of their anniversary. The next two days were for the two of them. The girls had signed up for a kids's camp and an art class that would keep them busy during the day. So the grandparents only had the boys to be concerned about during the day. During the evening there were four adults so they would be fine.

Olivia was still on cloud nine with the wake-up call her husband had given her. She didn't have a ton of men to rate her sexual experiences with, but she was no fool she knew what she had was not just good but great. She had hung out with the ladies, and while she didn't give away as many details as they did it was clear her man was steps above the rest.

After making love again in the shower they started their day. They headed over to Buck Island which was an underwater national park. They spent half of their day snorkeling. After showering and changing Fitz had arranged for them to enjoy a horseback ride.

She loved holding onto him while he handled a horse. He had taken the girls recently, and they loved it. He wanted to add a stable. She told him she wasn't quite ready. The truth was that she was in the process of getting everything ready on their property. Their dad was hiring a staff since she didn't know all the working details. She planned on surprising him shortly after they got. It was her big anniversary gift to him.

They were now getting dressed for dinner. Olivia had decided on a hot pink Thakoon Lace & Crepe Peplum Jumpsuit with her black Manolo Blahnik patent leather ankle-strap sandals.

Olivia was excited about dinner. She read online that the restaurant called "The Sugar Mill" was featured on an episode of the "The Bachelor" which was one of her guilty pleasure shows.

The restaurant was very romantic, and Fitz had reserved them a table that had a back drop to die for. There was a photographer at the restaurant who captured the couple shortly after they sat down. As the sun went down the ancient limestone and slate walls twinkled with the night sky.

For their meal they enjoyed a four-course meal consisting of Fresh Caribbean Lobster Spring Rolls, Mixed Field Greens Salad with champagne vinaigrette dressing, the Surf N' Turf, and Twice-Baked Cheesecake for dessert.

The photographer had captured a couple more pictures of the couple. Their waitress made them aware, and asked if they would like to see the shots the photographer caught. They did and loved all of them, and purchased a couple of copies of each shot.

Afterwards they made it back to the house to exchange gifts. Olivia told Fitz that one of his gifts would not be ready for another couple of weeks.

She then handed him a case. Her husband loved to collect writing pens. She found a Montegrappa Ayrton Senna Champion 18Kt Gold Fountain Pen. That was his want gift.

He needed a new briefcase. The one he had now was literally on its last leg. His dad had bought him the one he used when he handed the reigns of the firm over to him. She searched high and low to find him one similar. After some time she found one that was very similar. It was a rustic alligator bag, and she even had his name engraved like his dad had.

Fitz loved it. He knew it wasn't the one his dad got him, but it was so close that he felt like he still had the same bag. He smiled thinking, "Only his wife."

It was his turn.

Fitz knew his wife loved simple jewelry so it was not always easy to shop for her. He also didn't want to give her something that everyone else had. After some research he found a ring that was perfect for her.

When she opened it he knew he had hit it out of the park. It was a simple 18k yellow gold tiara ring that was encrusted with 0.54ct of brown brilliant cut diamonds. The ring actually shipped from Athens, Greece.

Her other gift which was at home had her jumping for joy. One of the things the girls loved to do, and even their goddaughters was ride their bikes. They had recently took the girls shopping, and allowed them to get custom bikes.

Olivia talked about it so much that he ordered her one, and he blinged out his wife's bike. He had gotten her a lavender Swarovski Crystal Cruiser Bicycle. It included a retro bell and cupholder. It came out so well that Fitz was considering getting one himself.

The couple went and put their gifts up after thanking each other. They also wanted to change into something more comfortable.

Olivia turned on the BOSE system while they changed. Fitz as usual finished up first. He went to open up a bottle of wine, and found one last gift for Olivia.

He loved how they ate the top tier of their wedding cake. It reminded him of one of the best days of his life. So he decided that each year he wanted to share cake with his wife on their anniversary. He hadn't told her yet, but he had Lily make her favorite this year. A red velvet cake.

Olivia walked up to him. He smiled. She looked so angelic in her ivory Natori boudoir lace chemise.

She smiled when she saw the huge slice of red velvet cake with two forks, "What is this honey?"

"Well I know it might sound corny, but one day I was talking with Nana about how much I loved when we ate our cake on our first anniversary. All the memories of that day flooded my brain, and whether we are on a trip or it is Chinese takeout for our anniversary I want us to share cake each year. Feed each other. To celebrate our vows and love for each other."

"I don't think it is corny at all. I love how much celebrating our marriage and relationship means to you. So many couples forget that after their wedding day. We put in the work. I am proud to call you my husband. I am proud of the woman, wife, and mother I am with you."

"I couldn't have said it better myself Livvie."

The couple shared a slice of the cake, and then one of Olivia's favorite songs came on. She said it really described them, and he had to agree he now loved the song. It was "Because You Love Me" by Celine Dion. When all of this stuff with Edison was over he wanted to take Olivia away to see her in Las Vegas while she was performing. He understood where she was coming from taking care of her husband who had cancer.

Fitz smiled, "Care to dance?"

"Of Course..."

For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true

The emotion of the song immediately over came the couple. Cancer, Jake, heart condition, work, children, and life in general had come their way. They had fought together and won.

Neither knew how they made it over to the couch, but they did. Foreplay was not needed tonight. They were already wound up.

Olivia slid his pants down. He slid her panties aside, and she slid down on his cock. Their eyes never leaving each other.

For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through through it all

They moved like a choreographed dance routine. Neither of them making much noise. Other than the music all you heard was soft moans. Nothing else was needed. They knew they were taking care of each other's needs.

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

Fitz stood up still inside of Olivia moving them to the floor. He quickly got out of his pants, and took her chemise and panties off in record time before rejoining them back together.

Olivia threw her head back when he thrust back into her. When they made love like this he took another piece of her that she thought she had already given. Without speaking time and time again he was showing her that he wasn't going anywhere.

You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you

Typically he loved to make his wife scream. It had nothing to do with their family being so close. No it had everything to do with their love. There was no need for extra at this moment. Being joined together was enough. Meeting each other thrust for thrust was enough. The sweat on their bodies, the moans of satisfaction, the air in the room made the moment perfect.

It was almost like they were filming an erotic scene. Screaming and antics would take away from this moment. This moment where their bodies were reaffirming their love for for one another.

Fitz flipped them on their sides and now they were spooning. Olivia threw her leg over his allowing him to go deeper.

Olivia got up on her hands and knees and assumed the position. She knew it was her husband's favorite position. She wanted him to always be as happy as he made her.

She sat up so her back was to his chest and they began the family rhythm now chanting "I Love You" to each other."

You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth

Fitz flipped Olivia over so now she was on her back again. He grabbed a couple of pillows and slid them under her to angle her body before thrusting back into her. He threw her legs over his shoulder so that he could penetrate her deeper. He knew when they made love like this they like to watch each other fall apart.

Fitz knew she was about read to cum so he sped up his thrusts some.

He looked at his wife. Both of their eyes glassy with unshed tears.

He smiled, "You are my strength.

"You were my voice when I was down."

"You were my eyes when danger came lurking."

"You are the best man I could ever ask for."

"You brought out a side of me I didn't know."

"You were my faith when I thought God hated me."

"I am nothing without you."

"I love you Fitz. Happy Anniversary."

"Love you more Sweet Baby. Happy Anniversary to you too baby. Let go Livvie. CUM! CUM! CUM!"

Olivia body shook as she enjoyed an earth shattering orgasm. A couple of thrust later he emptied his seed inside his wife."

I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

The couple were too spent for words. Besides there was nothing left to say. They talked with their bodies. Those were the best conversations.

The rest of their vacation was wonderful. They all had memories that they would not forget.

Shortly after they returned from their vacation Olivia had to fly out to California to begin the depositions for the lawsuit.

Fitz decided to take go with her so she could see the kids every night. He knew the depositions could take awhile.

A couple of days after arriving they moved to a rental house that was furnished so that the kids could have space, and their were offices inside the house so they could work.

Edison had under estimated Olivia, and by the time he realized what was happening it was too later. He didn't give the detectives their whole case on a silver platter, but he gave them a lot.

Edison was walking out of the court room frustrated. He was on the verge of losing everything. If it wasn't for Olivia Grant he would still be living the high life. He thought about just committing suicide, but what was the fun in that. The story would end badly. If he was going down he was going in a blaze of glory.

Edison was patient. He was waiting to catch Olivia off guard. Three days later it happened. She was on her way to the car talking on her cell phone to her husband and children. They were talking about what they wanted for dinner.

Edison came out of no where and blindsided her. He was trying to put the chloroform cloth over her mouth, but she was fighting.

On the other end Fitz heard her screaming, and he recognized Edison's voice. It took a minute but he finally over powered her, and knocked her out.

Edison got out just in the knick of time. Just as the police were heading into the parking garage he was leaving in a van that no one would ever expect to see him in, and he had on a disguise.

The detective called Fitz back with news that shook him to his core, "He's got her"!

A/N-I know you are going to hate me for stopping there. What do you think is going to happen to Olivia & Edison? You will find out next chapter. Until then.

I am very close to 200 reviews on this story. Thank you for each and every one of them. Almost 100 followers on this story. The more reviews I get the more motivated I get to end the suspense.
