"So what do we do next?" Laysea asked Jason when she got back from the bathroom.
"We go back and claim what is our rightful place."
She smiled at him, "Ours?"
"I can't run my business without you and I won't live my life without you." He said pulling her down beside him then began to rub her protruding stomach. "I am sorry that you have had to go through this by yourself. I ordered them to stay close to you, in fact, the day that Maxie walked up to you in the park was the day that she was suppose to bring you to me. It had been long enough and we could establish your identity in another state or city. Then you would disappear with me. But you had just found out you were pregnant, that changed the whole situation. I knew that you needed to stay close to the doctors and so I sent Ty to talk to your doctor. It cost me three million dollars but I bought him off. Your file was locked up so that no one could access it but the doctor. He copied your file after every visit and Maxie picked it up. He wrote out exactly how you were doing both physically and emotionally."
"I was doing better physically."
"I know, Ty told me how hard you took it when Jared yelled at you in the truck. You know that he did not mean any of it. He understands that out of everyone you and he have the strongest bond with me. He had to get you out of your shocked non-belief. He had to have you believing by the time you all got back here so everyone who saw you would also believe that I was dead. He also needed to appear as if he blamed you, that was the only way to explain why my guys did not stick to you like glue. It was the only way that you could be removed from our loop. It made it easier to get you out of here and keep you away from everyone so you would not be hurt in the future. So he said the thing that he thought would hurt you the most. He told you that it was completely your fault. That I had to be with you and that I died because of you. I punched him for it, and Ty had to remind me that Jared was following my orders, but it did not make it any easier to accept that he had hurt you so badly . I would kill anyone that said something like that! But ultimately he succeeded and that was the most important thing, that you were safe in the end, even if you were hurt emotionally I could fix that later. We also had to keep Trista away from you because she would have broken down and told you. Hell I can't even tell you how many times we barely caught her before she headed out the door to do just that." He explained to her.
"Can I ask who the leak is? Who was it that made you feel the need to take this extreme route that almost cost you us?" she inquired changing the subject to a less touchy one.
He looked into her eyes, "Aaron. How ironic that he knew that I had been shot and already had his wife moving into the penthouse and was out front to meet you. By the way for future reference, if I had died you would have been moved to my country estate -- this estate, where you would have resided with my team. Ty, Jared, Jerry, Mac, and Trenton along with any wives or girlfriends that they had, or would have, would all live here with you to insure your safety. Their jobs would have still been to protect you, and they are very good at their jobs. All of our stuff would have been moved here for you. Everything that I gave you is yours forever. You would have still had access to my accounts to live off of for the rest of your life. Aaron found out that he could not use the accounts so he wanted to make sure you couldn't either. That is why he had tried to block you from the accounts. Had my team actually been dealing with my death they would have secured your rights."
"So when do you want to go back and what are you going to do?" She asked leaning into him.
"Well I would prefer that we stay here for a couple of weeks or until the baby comes but since we had to forcible remove you, everyone has to know that something big is going down. That means that you are now being looked for by Aaron and Mitch."
"Why in the hell would he turn on you?"
"Greed, he was second best and he knew it."
"I thought that Jared would lead because of being your brother."
"Nope, the previous leader must pick his replacements successor and five alternatives. This allows the leaders to be decided on based on merits rather then who they like. Jared was always a major part of my team so he would never be looked at as a leader -- besides he never wanted to lead, same with Ty. They could and would be awesome at it but they don't want it."
"Okay so I guess that we are going back soon? Tomorrow? Tonight?" She asked.
"Just as soon as I make sure that we are okay and that you had calmed down after finding out I was alive. Laysea you have to know that you are the most important person in my life. This baby, our baby, is the greatest gift you could have ever given me. You see, years ago when I accepted how hard my life would be on someone I gave up the hope of ever having a child. But I promise you this, if you stand by me, I will never do anything like this again! I will be there for our child and you," grabbing her hand in his, he brought it up to his lips and kissed it, "forever."
"Jason, I know I can't live without you. I tried and found out I am horrible at it. I do want to be with you forever, just not in this room the whole time. So how are you gonna get us out of here? You threw the key out of the window after you locked the door."
