Merry Christmas Eve 🎄🧸☃️
I am so grateful for each and every one of you and since It's been since I finished the story, I decided to give you guys a bonus holiday chapter 🎁🎄😇

"morning heiress" Jameson murmurs in my ear, "good morning" i say turning to face him, I lean in to give him a kiss but right as my lips brush his there is a knock at the door, I grin and pull my lips away from his, I slide out of bed and put on my slippers before opening the bedroom door.

Xander is standing at the door with a plate of blueberry scones in hand, "Merry Christmas Ave!" he says as he pushes past me and into the bedroom, Jameson is sitting up with tousled hair and a annoyed expression on his face, "what do you want, Xan" he says, "for you to leave" I smile,

Christmas tradition is for me and Xander to eat scones in the morning, "sorry Jamie, bye!" I say, he gives me an are you serious look and I grin, he sighs and grabs a shirt on his way.

Xander hands me one of the scones I take a bite, the best scones ever, "how are things with you and max?" I ask while contemplating on having another one, I give in and grab one off the plate right as Xan answers, "they're certainly going" he says giving me a look.

"eeeeeewwww tmi tmi" I'm laughing so hard he can barely understand what I said, "you asked" he says trying to defend himself, "oh my god Xander" I say taking a bite of my second scone.

we sit like that talking and laughing until the plate is empty, me having had four and Xander having had thirteen.

we are all gathered in the lounge by 8:00am, there are gifts everywhere under the 18ft tall Christmas Tree, it's the size of a literal giraffe. Nash and Libby are sitting on a couch while their daughter Eloise has already started opening her presents, Grayson is standing watching the chaos unfold.

Xander is FaceTiming Max since she is home with her parents for the holiday, the Laughlin's snd Thea are celebrating at the cottage, Zara moved out with the latest husband, Michael, Oren is in the corner watching us, and me and Jameson are in the center of all of it.

"ready to open them?" Jameson asks, "ready as I'll ever be" I say back, Xander leaps into the pile of presents and grabs his, Max is laughing through the phone screen and saying she has to go.

I help Eloise get the rest of her gifts before sitting back next to Jameson, he hands me a bag that has my name on it, "from toby" he whispers, I smile and open it, inside is a book, the cover is green with laced drawing surrounding it, I look at the title and then the author and gasp, "Toby wrote a book?" Jameson nods, "I went to see him last week and he told me to give it to you, he has a lot of time on his hands" I smile to myself.

"What's it's about?" I ask, Jameson smirks, "you, heiress" I look at him puzzled, "what do you mea-" I'm cut of by Eloise who is shrieking in excitement about what she got, everyone continues unwrapping gifts, Jameson starts ticketing Eloise, but my mind is to far away for any of that. Toby wrote a book? About me?

I abruptly stand up, "where are you going Ave?" Libby asks, "I'm going to read my new book, The Inheritance Games."
