Carla
The bitch is gone and I am so angry at Stan. What the fuck was he thinking?
"Carla don't you dare say anything bad about her." He tries to warn me but I give him a look that clearly says fuck off.
"She is your eldest daughter and deserves a break." He is clearly not getting the message and continues to talk about Ana like she is some sort of wounded bird needing help. I can't stand this crap anymore and need to say something.
"Excuse me? A break you say. Why the hell would that be? I was the one who suffered because of her being a mistake. I was not done living when I fell pregnant. She is the reason I am so bitter today. She claims to be abused but I was there and that was not what happened but no. What I say is bullshit. Now that she has a rich man on her arm she thinks she is better than us."
"Carla I don't think you are thinking clearly. She seems to be out for only one thing."
"Yes to destroy me and make my life hell. Why else would a rich women want to take our hard earned money for a wedding she can afford 10 times over? We must pay for her wedding is she serious."
"I already made up my mind and I am supporting her with that."
"Stan you cant be serious? They have more money than the president and you want to throw your penny's around to make yourself feel better."
"No that's not why Carla. She is my daughter and it's our duty to help. We may not have much but I have a small fortune put away for when the kids get married." He what? I knew this lying bastard was holding out on me. Morton was so right about all this. I need to find out were that money is.
"Ok Stan I am on board. Were is the money and what do we do with it?" He gives me a look that clearly says he is onto me. I don't care I always get my own way and this is no different.
"I have already written the check out to Ana so you don't have to worry about it."
"You what? Are you fucking crazy? How much did you give that B…"
"Don't you dare finish that sentence or your ass will be on the streets so fast you wont know what hit you Carla." I cant believe how Ana is once again fucking with my life. I need to sort this shit out and fast.
Luke
Time has been going so fast and it's finally the weekend for the trip Ana and I planned. Ana made the arrangements and bookings and Taylor and I sorted out all the security. I was getting fucking pissed off at Kate's continues moaning about what a lousy idea all this was. I'm so dreading being on this trip with her. Taylor and I also decided we were better needed on the boss and Ana's detail so we hired new staff to tail the group of ladies who are going to do the easier trails.
"Luke are we all set."
"Yes Taylor we are. The jet is fueled and ready and the locations have been kept under wrap but are secure. We already have security in pace there."
"Perfect. This is going to be one heck of a weekend. I hope the boss is prepared for it all."
"I don't think he ever will be. I just know he is going to give Ana a hard time with the activities she has chosen to do."
"I agree with you but she is very well trained. Lets get the last of the luggage safely stored then we can go pick up the guests."
"Lead the way." We go and I am shocked at the number of bags labeled Kate. Were the fuck does she think she is going? The boss and Ana are sharing a suitcase and Kate and Elliot have 4. Fuck even Mia has less for a change. We have managed to keep this whole thing under wraps for safety purposes. We are a party of 40 guests and 10 staff. I hired a bigger jet for the trip and extra transport when we land.
Christian
I pack up my work file and head out with Taylor. We planned to meet up with everyone at the airport. I am running a bit late but I can promise you between Mia and Kate I will still be early.
"Taylor is everything all set?"
"Yes sir Ms. Steele has done a fabulous job with the organization of this trip."
"Perfect that is all I need to here. Taylor I need you and Luke to please stay near Ana at all times. I don't want any chances taken were she is concerned."
"Yes sir I will make sure of it. There has been one change to the program sir."
"Ana made the change?"
"Yes sir. Ana has taken out the evening paintball because of safety reasons instead, she has set up a private dinner with just the two of you. The rest of the party will be entertained by the resort crew onsite." Taylor laughs at me because he can see the relieve on my face. Fuck but I hate guns.
"I am fucking relieved about that. I have been having fucking nightmares seen Ana being shot at. Do you have any other details about Saturday evening?"
"No sir but I am sure she will inform us once we are together." This makes me feel more at ease and I can try to relax. I still have the fear of Ana drowning while rafting or even falling to her death trying to parachute. I just need to calm down and stay close to her.
Alex
All this fucking shit with Carla is just going to escalate. As much as Stan finally found his ball and has stood up for Ana the bitch is not going to back down. I will have to keep a close eye on her. Kate well that is another story all together. I don't know whats being going on with her but it's not normal. I contacted her brother Ethan and has a good chat with him about her. According to him there is something going on and he is due to arrive in Seattle next week to get to the bottom of it. Apparently she has being having fits but has kept them hidden. I just hope for Ana's sake Kate is not thermally ill. That would break her completely.
I am very disappointed I could not go on the adventure weekend with Ana due to an emergency at work but we have made a deal that we are going to go on a camping trip with her siblings. That was such a fucked up thing for Carla to do. Why the fuck she kept those kids a secret from Ana is beyond me. I just pick up my bag to leave for the office and am surprised its Jose.
"Jose what can I do for you?"
"Hi Alex I need to get hold of Ana but her phone seems to be off."
"Thats because she is away this weekend. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"I am not sure but you can try."
"Ok give me your worst."
"I have a kid who has just lost his mother and I need you to take him until Ana gets back."
"What the fuck Jose?"
"Just hear me out before you over react. Ana is emotionally invested in this kid. I don't know why but she asked me to keep an eye on him and if he needs anything to go to her first. I would place him in a foster home but I know Ana would have my balls for that. She trusts you Alex." My mind is reeling with all this. what the fuck has Ana being up to and who the fuck is this kid?
"Jose how old is he?"
"Three years old. He is also completely independent so all you will have to do is feed him."
"Shit man I dont know if I can do this but I will try. Were is he now?"
"At the precienct. I have held off social services as long as I could so if you won't mind coming down now we can sort everything out." Fuck. I need to get to work but this is also important. I send a quick text to my boss and immediately get a reply that I can work form the apartment. I guess thats my answer.
"Jose I am on my way."
"Perfect Alex and just one more thing. If you have a photo of you and Ana it might help him trust you more."
"Got it. I will see you in a few." I end the call and take a huge breath to calm myself. I can do this. I will get him settled in then I will call Ana and chew her ass off for this.
