ST. CHRISTOPHER’S
Bliss opened her eyes as she looked up seeing Max being held by Sebastian. She was thankful that Sebastian was here for Max. It seemed she was taking father being in a coma the hardest. She had faith that her strong father would be alright. It wasn’t a secret her father was beginning to look gaunt. He seemed fragile since his return from Europe and Jackie was silent about it. She knew something because David Rhodes was always speaking with her instead of the entire family. One week their father was in a medical coma to ensure he was alright. That somehow made her more fearful. Leaning her head up from Hunter’s shoulder she felt her stomach tightening as Chauncey walked in. He would arrive when all of them were gone to visit due to everyone hating him right now. He was planning on taking over the company none of them had forgotten. His greed made her sick but she also saw a true human in him. He protected her against Dimitri and that was something she hadn’t forgotten. Lacing her fingers inside of his hand. All they knew was Lowell was coming out of his coma today. The strangest feeling was that soon they’d know if Zerick was their brother and what was going on with their father.
Standing up she walked to Chauncey and touched his shoulder. “It’s good to see you here.” The glare that Jackson was giving him made her scared about what was about to happen. “Look we all thought about what could happen if we were CEO. Chauncey, you had someone in your head pushing you but it doesn’t stop the fact that you actually did go after our company. You pushed and manipulated but we are family. No matter what and I haven’t forgotten what happened at the party.” It seemed everyone ears perked up she saw Jackie looking at her. “Dimitri cornered me in Chauncey’s office. He was threatening me and tried to choke me.” She saw Hunter face and knew he was pissed she kept this from him. “But my big brother stepped up and protected me from Dimitri. He was going to kill him if he had to stop the abuse. So what I’m saying is I know Chauncey messed up but he loves us all.”
Jackson listened to Bliss cutting for Chauncey and felt immediately sad for his sister. Some psychopathic prince was stalking her. That wasn’t something that he wanted for his sister and she was sweet. Over the summer Bliss had come to see him along with Hunter. It was a good trip where he honest got to know Bliss. She seemed way more at peace than she was when she first arrived. Unlike there other possible siblings who was claiming to every media outlet that he was a Devonshire. Not only that the son of a bitch did an entire spread in the Chronicles with Cassie. Everyone was speculating on if their father raped his wife sister now. It was out and DGI was facing a financial crisis. The Chronicles also featured Chauncey major betrayal that too had sent the stock down. Either way, no matter if Chauncey protected her from Dimitri, he absolutely betrayed the family. If he had his way he’d never be involved with DGI again. He’d never be able to betray them again. He felt Dani’s hand on his back rubbing it softly as he shook his head. Jackson could feel the bile rising inside of his stomach because of his fury with his brother.
“Bliss I’m sorry about Dimitri but I have to say Rory and I would have done the same thing. We would have tried to kill that son of a bitch if he came after you. We will stop that from happening, understand that but this doesn’t excuse his behavior. This doesn’t pardon him because he was working with that bitch Greer. He was being manipulated again by a woman who clearly had ulterior motives and he couldn’t see that because he was greedy. He wanted DGI for himself and eventually was going to push us all out. Greer wouldn’t have wanted us there would she Chauncey? Hell, do you want us apart of our father’s legacy? It took Talia and Simon to expose this shit for you to even know that woman was playing you like a violin. Did you think what this would do to your siblings hell your parents? No, you didn’t because as always it’s all about you.”
Bliss lowered her head as she looked at them. “Rory? Max? Can you tell them to stop God our father is in that room in a coma? My son is asking about his papa and I know Maddie is freaked out. Guys we’ve been attacked since last year but we don’t need to attack each other. I used to dream of you four. I used to wonder what you were like and I just want us to be a family.”
