Pierce Your Heart (Jealousy book 3)

Chapter 12 : On the dotted line.

Brandon

I find myself drumming my fingers on my office table, as I dish out the last of my money to the movers.

Never thought I'd ever see the day I move out of my mansion....
And move my mother in.

We are broke.
Flat-line broke.

And I feel like a failure if nothing else.
A failure to my family.

Landon is fine for a few more months in his house, but I have four kids.I have tons of maids and butlers and an electricity bill that brushes a hundred thousand monthly...
Well had.

I watch the man's hand as he counts the stack of money I gave him and I have never wanted to take back money from anyone this much!

I'm moving my family into the apartment building nearest to the kids school that I own.

They aren't very happy about it.

They aren't very happy about a lot of things lately.

I sigh.

But what can daddy do?

"Leave most of the furniture you said?" The man asks taking me from my thoughts.

"Yea, take just the ones with tags on em, the rest are for auction. "I sigh.

"Baby? " I hear at the door.

Looking up I see Des, looking pale and tired by the door, her head tied and a few loose, baby curls hanging by her ears.She was wearing some blue jeans and a white t shirt.

A smile corners my cheeks as I see her.

"You're up."I say as our eyes dance.

The man tips his hat at her and she nods at him, walking towards me.I pull her down in my lap, sinking my lips on hers, and a familiar energy takes over me.Its like I've never kissed these lips before.

I hate it when the meds take her out like that.

After the kiss breaks, our foreheads seal together as our warm breaths, sooth each others lips.

"My sleeping beauty."I whisper.

"My prince. "She smiles.

"Well I would have preferred King, but let's stay on the fairy tale's correct path."I grin.

"Let's. "

She smiles at me, kissing my nose.

Boy, have I missed my Destiny!

She lets out a heavy sigh.

"So we actually going for the move huh?"

Her eyes sulk with mine, but she forces a smile and strokes my cheeks.

They deserve so much better than me....this!

"We gon' be okay baby. " She smiles. "You'll see."

I nod, grasping her palm from my cheek and kissing it.

Suddenly my laptop goes off,
She looks up at it on the table and freezes as she is met with a photo of Kyle on the news network.

Oh shit,
I know she's about to lose it!
And I cant say I blame her.

"Our son-"

"Baby. "I say stopping her. "I got this, he's still out there, but we are closer to getting him back."

She turns to look at me, and her eyes were red with frustration.

"How?"

I don't know how to tell her this....
That they have him.
