"Come in" I said when I heard the knock on the door and when I looked up, I saw Cameron and Emma come in with Aryan and Ayana.

"Oh, hey guys" I said and shut my my laptop.

"You've been working way too much, the kids were missing you so we got them here" Emma said and I tied my hair into a pony tail before Aryan climbed on my lap and I took Ayana in my arms and kissed them both.

1 week.

Its been a week and Justin still hasn't recovered. The very next day after the accident, I took over the office and all I do in here is try to collect proof against Chris but don't find anything and handle whatever small amount of shares we're left with.

"If ya'll are here, who's with Justin?" I asked them.

"Your dad, he said he'll be there for the day" Cam said and I nodded.

Dad has been a lot of help in this. He even paid the salaries of everyone in the company this month.

"Did the doctor say anything at all?" I asked and he shook his head.

"Justin hasn't made a movement, there are no signs at all" He mumbled and I looked down and ran my fingers through Aryan's hair.

"Mommy, will daddy be alright?" He asked.

"Yes bub, I told you he will. He won't let us alone like that" I said and he nodded.

"Did you find anything at all? About Chris?" Emma asked and I shook my head.

"No, he's very much secretive about everything he does" I said.

"I still say that we should approach the police" Cam said.

"We will Cam, but we at least need something against him!" I said.

"You know, you look like a mess, you should go home and rest, I'll ask Rachel to handle everything" Emma said and I huffed and nodded.

"Okay"

My eyes fluttered open from the nap and I sat up. Ayana and Aryan were still fast asleep.

I shifted behind and hugged my legs. I glanced at my watch and it was five pm.

I shut my eyes and tried to get the thought out of my head.

It's a bad idea Scar.

I kept repeating in my head. But what I'm I gonna do just sitting here? What happened to Justin is all because on this one thing. He was probably so pressured and I don't blame him because now that I'm in his shoes, I know how it feels to try so hard but get nowhere.

I sat up and fixed my hair in a pony tail again. I did not bother to change the sweatshirt I was wearing or did not even bother to look at my face as I grabbed my purse and went downstairs.

I walked into the kitchen in search of Mama Jen and found her there.

"Mama Jen" I said and gained her attention.

"Yes honey" she said tiredly.

She has been too stressed over Justin just like all of us.

"I'm going to go see Justin, the kids are still sleeping. Why don't you rest too?" I said and she huffed and nodded.

"Okay" she said and I walked out and sat inside the car.

"Good evening Mrs. Bieber, where do we have to go?" Henry asked.

I paused and gave it a second thought.

"Chris Pine's house" I said.

"A-are you sure, I mean-
