Business No More

Chapter 15

I rub my belly, a shiver running down my back. This is scary.

Sam hugs me from behind. "You look gorgeous today."

I smile. "Just today?" I ask.

I can feel the heat of his breath against my ear. "Always," he says. "But extra special today."

The idea that I look extra nice today makes me smirk. I mean I'm wearing an oversized knitted nude sweater with thigh high nude socks. Its nothing special.

I lace my fingers with his as I turn to face him. He leans into me, my back pressing against the railing of the balcony.

"Five more months to go," he whispers as his fingers brush against my stomach.

I take a deep breath because his touch almost melts me. A slight bump shows but not enough. I could pass it as someone who ate a lot that day, although with my oversized sweater, you can't tell at all.

He leans against me, his hands rubbing my arms as he kisses me lightly. I like this. I like it a lot. I loop my thumbs into the edge of his jeans as I kiss him back.

The idea of what we're going to do in three days scares me. What will happen to Anderson's Corporation? Sam signing the contract could be a messy game especially because he never read the new one she swapped behind his back. I don't want him to get into something that he can't get out of.

Sam brushes my hair away. "Relax," he says calmly when he sees my expression.

I smile. "I know, I know," I say. "I'm trying."

That's when Daniel shows up. I smile because I've missed him dearly.

"Daniel!" I shout in excitement, almost pushing Sam out of the way as I hug Daniel.

Sam lifts an eyebrow. "I'll try to remember that next time," he says.

I pull back from Daniel as I peek at him.

"So my brother is more important?" Sam says as a joke.

I giggle. "Yep."

Daniel spins me once before placing me back on the ground. "How are you?"

I smile. "Fantastic."

Daniel's here to help us plan for whatever thunderstorm is coming our way. I told Sam to show the footage to the police to get the culprit caught but he claims that he doesn't have enough proof to show the cops that the person who broke into the documents room and the person who is making a deal with Sam is the same person.

Sam wants to get them in so deep that there will be no way out for them. Daniel claims this is the best thing too but I'm still nervous. I can see how wrong this can go. I mean Sam just signed a contract without knowing what was written in it.

Sam however told me that over the next few days, no matter what, that I shouldn't even pick up a pen or sign any papers. He doesn't want something to be used against me.

Sam hasn't told anyone else in his family about this as he doesn't want to worry them.

I grab a book from the bookshelf when we head back inside and I sit on the swinging chair as I watch them two discuss. I tune out of the boring stuff and even throw in suggestions here and there.

Why couldn't our life be normal? But then again, I had to fall in love with the super rich, successful businessman so I guess it's my fault.

Daniel nods. "I got it," he says. "This shall be fun."

Sam frowns. "This isn't for fun."

Daniel raises his hand in mock arrest. "Relax dude, can't I have a little fun. I mean I've always wanted to do this."

I join in and laugh which draws Sam's attention causing him to raise his eyebrows at us.

He stands up. "I don't get you two."

That's when Daniel and I nod. "And the thing is," I say. "You're married to one of us and brother's with the other one."

Daniel high fives me while Sam rolls his eyes. "Biggest mistake of my life," he says.

"Huh," I puff out. "I'm a regret?"

Sam smiles. "I had to marry you," he says pointing at me and then faces Daniel. "And I had to be born in the same household as you. What luck!"

Daniel laughs. "And we," he says pointing back and forth between himself and I. "We get to spend your money."

"I mean that is why I married you," I say after Daniel's comment.

Sam picks a pillow and chucks it at us forcing us to dodge. He throws it lightly at me, always aiming for my shoulders to not hurt me but he goes all out with Daniel.

By the end of it, we're all on the sofa laughing our heads off.

Daniel smiles. "Ahh guys, I've missed you two so much."

I nod before picking up a pillow and throwing it across the sofa at Sam for the last time.

He catches it before it hits his face and tucks it under his head.

Daniel stands up. "I guess I shall take my leave," he says as he walks into the hallway, Sam and I following after.

"So when shall I meet you in the office?" He asks.

"Monday," Sam replies. "Three days later. Although I don't know if Georgia will go through with it. She might play with it for a while. Plus we don't know exactly what's on the contract but I've got an idea. I've done this way too long to know that there a certain things you might want to do with a contract."

Daniel nods. "Monday it is then."

"Keep in mind though that if nothing happens, you'll need to come again," Sam says.

"Call me whenever bro, and I'll be there."

I smile as Daniel hugs Sam goodbye before hugging me. Sam's driver waits by the door to drop Daniel off.

"Stay safe," I shout as he walks out. "Be extra careful."

He nods claiming he understands why I said it. He knows that I think he isn't safe either.
