The Secrets Behind Cries *Book 6 of the Köhler Series*

𝕿𝖍𝖎𝖗𝖙𝖞 | 30 Back in Scotland

A few days later, they were landing in Scotland. All three girls were a bit scared of the change. Really, Nicole believed they were scared that Reece was bringing them there to kill them on foreign grounds. Tomika nor Kayla talked on the way there. On the other hand, Macey wanted to know every fucking thing she and Nicki couldn't blame her.

"This is a fucking castle," Macey said, walking up to the manor. Greg laughed, shaking his head as the other two girls glared at her like she was crazy. Nicole didn't know what to say to them to make it better. Instead, she hurried and got Michael running to her room, shutting the room until Reece knocked at the door.

"Why are you in here?"

"Because it's my room," Nicole said, making Reece glare at her intensely. She stared back as he sauntered over to her taking Michael out of her arms.

"HEY!" She yelled as he pulled Nicki up, throwing her over his shoulder, making the little boy laugh. Quickly he walked all three of them back to his room, throwing Nicole on the bed as he and Michael nicely sat beside her.

"That's really wasn't what I was talking about. Your friends are downstairs, and you are hiding, and maybe I wasn't clear before we left. This is your room now."

"Your grandmother said...."

"My grandmother forgets I am Don, and we are already having sex. Which she talked you into seducing me. Yeah, I know. So, it doesn't matter if we are in the same room or not. I'm sure we would end up in each other rooms anyway," He says, making Nicole giggle. He was right, but Innis didn't think that an unmarried couple should share a room, and Nicole didn't want to argue with her about it.

"You think too hard, Bòidheach. You are going to be my Donna. My grandmother has to learn to listen to you. Not the other way around. I will speak with her and make her understand you will be sleeping here. We will be married soon as your dress is finished. You video chatted with Lia and Riah about your design, but Luca took over. Something about they weren't doing it right. Riley has seen it and says you will love it." He said, pausing for a moment.

"You know the colors don't have to be emerald. It could be any color you like."

"I know, but emerald is my favorite color," Nicole smiled, making him shake his head with a smile. Reece loved trying to test her, and she thought it was funny.

"I know that. You only told me over a hundred times," He laughed. "But you need to go talk to your friends. It can't wait any longer," He said, making her nod.

"Are you coming too?"

"If I must," Reece huffed, getting up holding out his hand. He still had Michael in his arms, which had Nicole smiling, putting her hand in his before walking to the elevator. Once they were downstairs, he led them to his office, where everyone was sitting.

"Look, Nicole, I knew you had a fucked-up past and all but to get mixed up in some mafia bullshit. What did you do promise this man your firstborn to kill your father? Because you know we could have poisoned his ass or gave him an overdose.... Wait... wait... wait! But you are Reece fucking Gordon, the billionaire that every woman wants in Manhattan, the owner of Gordon Corporations! YOU ARE FUCKING MAFIA! MAFIA! NICKI, DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU GOTTEN YOURSELF INTO!"

"Okay, Mika, we going to need you to calm down a bit," Macey said, shaking her head. "All I want to know is, are we safe? I like Nicole. We all came from a broken home, so it was nothing to me... to us to up and leave Manhattan. I don't want to walk into something like my death here. I didn't work hard to escape my childhood to die fucking here because I witness some mafia shit. After all, if you were going to kill us, you should have done it in New York." She finished. Reece glared at her as he handed Nicole Michael and stood.
