Bliss' POV

We had so much fun last week at Layla and Ryan's wedding. Shane got over his concerns about Austin. And, they even have become friends.

Marco and Layla's agent thinks I have the potential to become a successful model. He wants me to get headshots taken and sent to his office. I also met a few of their model friends - Christina, Erica, Gunner, and Grayson. Shane did not like the way Grayson looked at me, so he warned me to be careful around him.

That trifling trick Julia had the audacity to hurt Braelyn! Braelyn accidentally bumped into her. Julia shoved Braelyn to the ground. Thank goodness Braelyn was okay, but Julia wasn't. Shane and I saw the whole thing. He carried Braelyn to first aid. I gave Julia a dose of her own medicine. She was eventually arrested for assaulting a child. With Layla being seven months pregnant, she did not need any stress. So, I took matters into my own hands. I would do anything for Braelyn and Logan.

We danced and partied until Sunday morning in Central Park. Fortunately, Shane's penthouse was very close. So, Kam, Cris, Marco, Noeli, the kids, Shane, and I stayed at the penthouse.

Kam, Cris, and the kids were staying in New York until Tuesday. So, Kam drove Layla's Escalade, and I drove mine. Cris and Shane warned us about tricks. But we couldn't because we both had kids in the trucks, and mine is black.

After finishing payroll on Monday, we spent the day touring New York. We went to the Disney Store, M & M store, and Times Square. Of course, Aunt Bliss spoiled the kids.

When they had to leave on Tuesday, both Dia and Rocco cried their little eyes out. I told them that I would come to Florida and spend some time with them.

I told Cris and Kam about the lawsuit with Alexander. They were both angry and will also be here to support me. Speaking of, I have an appointment on Friday to meet with Shane's lawyers.

I was a nervous wreck as we made our way to the lawyer's office

I was a nervous wreck as we made our way to the lawyer's office. But, I am so sick and tired of Alexander and his tactics of trying to bring me down because I told him no. I can't wait until this mess is over.

The lawyer's office is in the heart of downtown Manhattan. Shane's lawyers are one of the best in the country - they have never lost a case. So, I have that working in my favor.

We pulled up to the office building. Shane came to help me out of the Navigator, and he let the valet park his truck. His lawyers are on the top 3 floors of the building, which is floors 68-70.

Once we stepped off the elevator on the 68th floor, we were in the reception area of the office.

"Welcome to Forrest and Dolloway. Mr. Landes, Jacob, and Hermione are ready for you in the conference room on the 70th floor."
