Third Person POV
Everything had been calm in Concord. The Everett family had no other interaction with the Giovannis but Curtis refused to let his guard down. The security protocols for everyone remained tight but Presley refused to complain. Seeing Charles, the menacing look in his eye was enough for her to accept the protection. Yes it was annoying but since she was either by herself or with the children, she couldn't take the chance.
Curtis, after confessing his love to Presley, decided he wanted to have a meeting with her father and Blackwood. This is where we find ourselves three months after Blackwood made himself known.

Curtis
I was going over the paperwork at my desk with Clint when Presley stormed in. "You are meeting with my father and his minion!?!"
Oh boy, my kitten has her claws out. "Kitten, let me explain..."
"Are you sending me back?" Her blue green eyes were laced with fear.
"For fuck's sake, no Presley!" I stood up. "How many more times am I going to have to promise you that you aren't going anywhere!" I took her head in my hands. "Baby, I am negotiating your freedom. I want you here forever and I need to do this in a diplomatic way so that everyone stays alive and safe." I kiss her forehead. "Stop, please, with the assumption that I want you gone. That can't be further from the truth."
Her eyes sparkled with unshed tears. "I'm sorry. I just hear my father's name and I panic." She leans into my check and I hug her tightly. I kiss the top of her head as she calms. When I feel her relax I pull back.
"Please, trust me. Clint and I are going to go there and negotiate with Giovanni and Blackwood. If they don't agree, well, we have a backup plan as well. I want you to stay here for the day. No shopping, no lunch, nothing. Adam and Sid will be here as well."
She looked into my eyes and I knew she was trying to see any fear. "I trust you, my love." The words she used were so important to my heart. I took her hands and kissed her palms. She smiled and walked back out, nodding to Clint as she went.
