Still after their smut Graysons POV

I sit there in shock as she finishes the story of her and Laila's child hood. She looks at me bored without a care in the world.

"Yeah so now I'm here after years of searching for them. My job is to make her life a living hell until she gives us what she wants." Emma says yawning.

"What do you want?" I ask in curiosity.

"The money." She says looking deep into my eyes.

"What money?"

"Jesus Grayson don't be fucking stupid. The money her dad put in her name, the money her mom stores always somewhere. The millions maybe billions of dollars they have stored away. Annika, Lailas mom knows where it all is. I just have to get Laila to get it from her, then she needs to give it to me." Emma says to me with annoyance in her voice.

I can tell I'm badgering her with all my questions...but I need to know more.

"What do you need the money for?" I ask curiously.

"For our business, it could really help us out. My family is really far behind on payments and deals. But their money could pay everything off for years. About $500,000 is being put into their account yearly. Laila's uncles and aunts still work in the company somewhere in a secret location. We would attack them but they're too strong. Although Laila and Annika are strong, they're the weakest spot of the whole company. A company that holds over 8,000 clients."

Well damn, that's a lot of fucking people. No wonder why Laila and her mom have such a huge house, nice cars, nice clothes and more. Laila is spoiled but she doesn't let it show like other girls would. She keeps her money private, so private I didn't even know about any of this. Emma walks to the other side of her room and puts some clothes on.

"What if she doesn't give you the money?" I ask now standing up.

Emma turns around and looks at me with zero emotion. She takes a few steps forward till there is no space between us. I can feel her breath in my neck as she looks up at me.

"I guess we'll have to find out, huh?"She answers with an evil grin.

I back away from her as she stares at me coldly. She raises her finger to her lips as she 'shhh' me. Telling me not to tell anyone what I know. I turn around to find my way out of the room, grabbing everything I brought. 'I need to get the hell out of here.'

Present time Laila's POV

I stand there face to face looking into Graysons dark sad eyes. He glances behind me to see our friends and his eyes get sadder. He looks back down at me ashamed of something. Without words from Grayson I can tell something serious is going on. He leans down to my ear and whispers.

"Come with me." He says quiet and softly.

He leans back up and looks in my eyes. I turn around to walk over to Tina.

"Here's the money for the pizza, I might be here when I'm gone. Save me some cheese and that's all, I'll be back before it's too late. If you guys wants anything you know how to get it." I say handing over the money.

She nods at me and looks back down. I look at everyone the turn around to Grayson waiting for me. I walk back over to him and nod, signaling to him I'm ready to go. We walk out the door to his truck and get inside. He starts it and pulls out of my driveway. As we drive down the road I glance at Grayson who's focused on what's ahead of him. I take his free hand in mine and give it a little squeeze. It gets his attention as he looks down at our fingers locked together. He looks back at the road and sighs. He lifts our hands still together and kisses the back of mine. I feel a warm sensation on my cheeks and look down at my lap.
