Words Aren't Enough
Chapter 21
Hours Later
In the morning
The sky was dark and grey as raindrops and wind hit against the home. Raindrops covering everything.
Brooke awoke slowly as she got up and looked around she suddenly remembered she hadn't slept in own her bed last night.
Her stomach grumbled as the aromas of eggs, bacon, french toast and coffee filled her nose.
"Good morning. You must of been really tired. I've been up for awhile. Made breakfast and coffe when i came back up you were still asleep." Lucas said.
"Good morning to you too. Yeah what i told you last night took alot out of me. But i don't regret this. Us. What happened afterwards." Brooke said.
"I appreciate you wanting to clarify that but how i feel should be the least of you're concern. How do you feel really.?" Lucas asked. Sitting beside her as he got back into bed.
Brooke took a sip of coffee. "Like the world is sending me red flags i'm choosing to ignore. It's clear i'm not meant to be a mother. And i have made peace with that. Let's talk about anything. I don't want to bring the mood down. Let's stay in our happy in love bubble for awhile longer." She said.
"If you insist we'll do just that. It's just now i know where that scar on you're stomach came from." He said.
"My pregnancy. I had a C section. Every time i'm without my clothes on my eyes instantly go there. I could have it covered but i don't want too. I don't ever want to forget that child. Now let's enjoy this amazing breakfast you made for us." Brooke said.
...
The James houseld
"Jamie Scott put on you're clothes and shoes for preschool right this minute!" Haley yelled up the stairs.
Jamie opened his bedroom door and yelled.
"No i'm too sad to go to school! Leave me alone!" He yelled before slamming the bedroom door loudly.
Haley let out a frustrated sigh.
"Don't you worry. You're father and I will make sure he has breakfast and get's to school. You just focus on you're plans for the day." Lydia James said.
Haley nodded her head pulled her mother into a hug and left the home.
...
"We are all truly sorry for the loss of you're husband Mrs. James Scott. I asked to meet with you to go over Nathan's will and other legal matters." He said.
"Nathan has set up a trust fund for Jamie and for the unborn child the two of you share. Jamie is recieve 20 million on his 18 th birthday and a second installment of 20 million on his 21st birthday. The same rules apply for the second unborn child." The lawyer said.
Haley's eyes went wide at the amount. "I will follow Nathan's wishes anything else.?" She asked.
"Nathan paid of you're home. Left you a sum of 50,000 dollars in monthly installments. And a letter he asked me to give to you." The lawyer said.
Haley felt herself become overcome with shock. "50,000 dollars in monthly installments. He left it all to me his entire fortune." She said. Taking a breath trying to absoarb her new reality.
"Here is the letter." The lawyer said. Handing it to Haley.
Haley unsealed the envelope. Unfolded the letter and began read.
Dear Hales,
You changed my life. Made it have meaning and purpose since the minute we met. You are the love of my life. My soulmate. I apologize for all the pain i ever caused you.
If you're reading it means i'm gone. And i'm not dead because i wanted to leave or our kids. Someone decided to take my life and that is Nanny Carrie. She has been stalking me unable to let go of her fantasy of us being a family. I thought i could deal with her without dirupting you're life anymore. I was wrong. It's on you now to make sure justice is served that she can never hurt anyone else again.
I love you. Always and forever Nathan
