From Rags to Riches

You're all I need

Rebecca:

My heart drops as I read the card. How did he even get this to us? Mason, Reid and every other security man Jordan has knows who he is and knows not to let him get to us. I always knew Conrad knew how to play the game but I never thought he would be this sneaky.
"Mummy is that for me?" Sienna asks but I just shake my head. She isn't going to see this, I've never spoken about Conrad to her and there's no way I'm starting now.
"No honey it's for me" I watch as her face frowns in confusion.
"But it isn't your birthday" she says and I can't help but let out a little giggle.
"No it isn't but someone felt like I needed a present too" I lie and she seems to buy it. She goes on playing with her toys while Jordan, Mason and I gather in the kitchen.

"I've got Reid on the security footage now trying to see how he got the parcel here. It must have been there for ages, someone has been in the security room since the start of the party" Mason explains and I just shake my head in shock.
"It was on your table next to the elevator, I only noticed it as I escorted the last of the guests out.
"We will find him Rebecca, no one will ruin this" Mason continues and I smile at his attempt at reassurance. Jordan however, has a tight jaw and his knuckles are white. He's furious, and rightly so. Not only has Conrad waltzed in and ruined one of the first times we've been truly happy since our rocky patch, but he also trespassed and got entrance up to his home. Jordan has limited access to his penthouse, and to get as far as Conrad did takes a lot of planning. I'm snapped out of my thoughts when I hear Jordan slam his fists down onto the island before storming off into our bedroom.
"Cara, do you mind putting Sienna to bed tonight? I need to be with Jordan" I ask and Cara nods politely before making her way over to Sienna.

"Jordan?" I call out as I enter our room. He's pacing the floor with his hands in his hair; I'm surprised he's got any hair left with the amount of times he does that. He doesn't react to my presence so I walk up to him; stopping him in his tracks.
"We will find him, and he will get the message one way or another" I tell him but his eyes don't soften.
"I finally get the family I've wanted. Even though I never knew it, deep down I knew I wanted this, wanted you. I finally get that and now some lowlife is threatening our relationship" he rambles on but I look straight into his eyes.
"He is only threatening this relationship if we let him. I have not heard from Conrad since I told him about Sienna, he was never her dad. You're her dad. You're the one who reads to her at night and takes her to kindergarten. You're the one she calls daddy and you're the one who she draws twenty four seven. Conrad doesn't exist in her life, you do. You're all I need, and all she needs. You're the most powerful man I know, don't let this son of a bitch get under your skin" I tell him and his eyes soften as well as his jaw. His eyebrows loosen up and he even has a hint of a smile.

"I want to adopt her, I want her to legally be mine" he tells me and I couldn't agree more. In fact, he's ruined the Christmas present I had planned: adoption papers.
"And she will be, we will make this happen" I smile and we share a kiss that screams passion and comfort. We pull away and both look at the pink box on the table.
"I'm not even going to open it, have Mason get rid of it" I tell Jordan and he nods before picking it up and taking it out the room. I remove my makeup and change my clothes before going outside to see what is taking Jordan so long.

"I've checked all the CCTV cameras in the building and you can't see Conrad anywhere" Reid explains to us and Mason.
"However, I noticed that after the group of mums from kindergarten made their entrance that the parcel appeared. You zoom in closely and you can see the redhead slide the parcel behind the flower pot" Reid continues as he shows us in slow motion Samantha placing the parcel before making her way over to us. I gasp in shock as I realise that she is connected to Conrad in some way.

"I'm going to run a background check on her and find the connection. I will share any information tomorrow but I insist that you and Miss. Kramer make your way to bed sir" Mason tells us and Jordan shakes his hand.
"Thankyou for everything Mason, you too Reid" Jordan shakes Reid's hand before taking mine and we head off to bed for the night.
When are we going to have the happy life we deserve?
