Business and Pleasure (Book 1)

Chapter 35- Andy

I knew we wouldn't be able to hide our relationship from people in our own home. That's why we usually only had close friends and family over who knew about us. Bryce was looking at me with a question in his eyes. He knew but wanted confirmation.

"Kennedy is in a relationship with all three of us. It's not a hookup and she did not become involved with us to get this job either. She was hired because of her skill set and accomplishments." I started. Bryce shifted in his seat.

"I figured it was the three. And I would never think Kennedy would accept a job by bribery. She worked so hard to do all she has and she's made me very proud. Especially with her run-in with cancer. She never once stopped her drive because of it." Bryce said softly. " I guess I don't understand how it all works?" He said more as a question than a statement.

"Parker, Dante and I went to college together and a few years in we became involved. About 10 years ago we decided we wanted to be in a exclusive relationship." I said. I looked at Parker. "We all have a relationship with each other we are just in a relationship where we share. There is no jealousy." I turned my gaze to Dante. "We all love each other equally and we will be together for life." Dante sent me a soft smile. I know he still had a little ways to go on the jealousy front.

"We wanted to add a female to our relationship but had decided years ago we would only pick someone who like us all equally and who we all liked equally. Anyone in this relationship needed to understand we weren't looking for a fling or friend with benefits. We wanted a life partner." Dante said turning his gaze to Bryce.

"What about having a family?" Bryce asked. "I um don't know how to get Molly to stop hating her. I didn't even know she did until Kennedy left. My home life is so miserable and the only reason I stay is for my child. I know what it's like to not have a father in my life. I don't want that for my son."

"Kennedy will be our family and we'll take care of her. She also has my extended family that are accepting of this relationship." I told him. The man looked so sad. That bitch Molly was taking the one person he loved asides from his son who he really loves.

"That makes me happy, I wish things were different. And I'm trying to find a way-" he was cut off as 2 medics entered the room. Kyle, Molly and her mom in tow behind them. There were also a couple of police officers.

We moved aside and let them on Kennedy. One of the police offices was talking to an animated Molly. Writing stuff down, I didn't like that.

I texted security and asked them to bring in the tape from the room. I was only going to let the tape tell the story not that lying bitch. The Paramedics were loading Kennedy on a stretcher when Johnny came in. They said it seemed like she had been knocked out cold and because she still had a concussion she needed to be monitored.

Parker did not like this at all. I didn't notice till I moved but Dante was griping the back of Parker's shirt. I walked over to him.

"Go with the paramedics. We'll clear up everything here." He squinted at me not wanting to listen. Unfortunately pissed off Parker was hot and I had resist the urge of kissing him. I stepped closer to him so no one could hear. "Baby, don't think I haven't noticed you being disobedient ever since Kennedy. I know you are in love with her and so are we but Baby boy remember who your Daddy is."

Parker's eyes widened and he took a sharp breath. Even Dante took a deep breath. I'd have to talk to him later. He also needed to be dealt with for his behavior.

"Go to the hospital with Kennedy and keep us updated. We'll straighten up things here and head over." I told him again. He nodded quickly and rushed off after the paramedics. I turned to Dante, there was a weird look on his eyes by I wasn't able to focus on it because Molly annoying loud voice.

That bitch is really starting to annoy me.

I spun to face the room. Johnny was showing the cops the footage. Molly was protesting everything that was happening in the video.

"I want to press charges against her. She attacked me." Molly squealed. The officer looked at her like she was insane.

"Maam. From this video it looks like she may have hit you on the arm but you were the one who initiated the attack that turned into almost killing her. The punching after that was self defense on her part. You were not acting in self defense." The officers words made me see red.

She almost killed her?

I felt Dante's hand on my arm. Apparently he saw what I really wanted to do to that Bitch.

"First of all Molly. No one is fucking pressing charges on anyone. We are a fucking family. Regardless of what you think. You put my sister in a hospital, that's the last straw. You are crazy and unfit to be my sons mother. I'm taking this video and my son and we're going to court." Bryce all but shouted.

The silence in the room was thick with tension and anger.

Mollys mother pulled on her arm but Molly broke free walked over to Bryce and swung. Her punch probably didn't hurt him but I was surprised at the restraint he showed when he turned his glare onto her. And officer stepped forward and pulled Molly back.

"Ma'am it's not a good idea to show any physical abuse before a court case." He said. Molly shook him off. For a moment I thought she was going to swing at him as well.
But she laughed, a loud and squeaky sound right into his face making the officer flinch with the noise.

"This bitch of a man isn't going to do anything. I fucking control him and everything we own. His case won't stand up in court." She said bending over at he waist as she laughed harder. She turned back to Bryce and stood to face him. "Just try to touch a penny for a lawyer and she what happens. Without our accounts you are paralyzed. I made sure of it. You won't be able to afford a cheap public defender you'd be so broke."

Her words stunned me. How could this woman be so evil.

"We have lawyers. Parker and Myself are some of the best lawyers in the country. We have your back Bryce." Dante said. Molly spun around to face us.

"Who the fuck are y'all to step in on private family matter." She said stomping up and getting right in my face even though Dante is the one that spoke. She had to look all the way up at me. I wanted to wrap my hands around her neck for how she hurt Kennedy but I wasn't that dumb.

"Kennedy is going to be my wife." I told her. Her eyebrows shot up and she took an astonished step back. "I guess that'll make us family."
